    If you're having some trouble launching the game in Origin do these solutions help get it up and running? We've seen others find success launching the game as administrator (right-click on the desktop shortcut) or by right-clicking on the game in Origin and then select Play from the drop down list.

Over a year and a half later and this problem is still going on. I couldn't get the game to launch for the entire day. Even did an entire reinstall, 7 hours of downloading, still not able to launch. I bought this game from release day and it's one problem after another, either it's full system seize at random, only caused by this game, or it won't launch at all for no reason, it worked yesterday but not today and there has been no update. This is the last EA/DICE game I will ever purchase, the support is so bad, I will also tell all my friends not to support EA and DICE.

Are you able to start up the game after a clean boot? Try a clean boot and then immediately launch Origin as administrator by right-clicking on the desktop shortcut. This way we can see if it's a process in the background causing it that we'll have to narrow it down to.

Check to see if you have any updates for Windows 10 and whether your video card came out with a recent driver update. I know this tech stuff can get frustrating but we're all here to help get you back into the game, keep us updated.

    @EA_Blueberry I did the clean boot by disabling all non Microsoft services and rebooting. The launcher still fails. I also used the Origin client to verify my game files. I'm running Battlefront 2 on a Windows 7 machine with GTX 780 with up to date nvidia driver, I haven't seen any threads regarding the latest Battlefront 2 update causing issues with any of the latest nvidia drivers. I think the problem lies within the launcher itself, the game doesn't run when you open starwarsbattlefrontii.exe it has to go through the Origin client. The client then terminates the process after some checks it does in the background. I don't know what's making it quit the game.

      I have this issue for about 6 months and I tried everything

      I believe that origin is causing this problem so somebody needs to fix origin

      Do you have Origin and Battlefront II added to your anti-virus exceptions list?

      Others are having success disabling cloud saves under their Origin client's settings too. Have you tried that?

        Do you know the best part about Battlefront 2, a game I have played loyally since its release and invested approx 400 hours of my time into?

        Not being able to play that game anymore and none of these suggestions fixing the issue.

        Thanks Origin. Thanks EA.
