Re: Battlefront II Fully downloaded but still says Downloading, Can only play Arcade

Thanks will try those, Can you tell me where to find the repair tool? UPDATE the game now says 99% Downloaded but nothing is downloading

The cog/gear Icon - 

@c2a2f2b7f1ca3466 My Cog only says Pause Update, Cancel Update, remove from favourites, Game properties, Hide. No repair option

I just cancelled the update, the Repair button then appeared, Am repairing now, Will Update you on the outcome lol (PS ty for helping me) 🙂

@O-Thunderchild-O No problem, I will accept a thanks if the fixes work haha 😉 there are so many bugs :P

If you get error 721, it's over here https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Error-721-with-pre-purchased-deluxe-edition/m-p/6431959#M1272

lol

@c2a2f2b7f1ca3466 Ok well after the Repair its now Downloading a Further 16GB, so thats progress.... I guess? lol Lets hope it works after 71GB downloaded :D

Weird, I think the text that is displayed with the repair tool might be mumbo jumbo - but I have see the repair tool and doc folder removal fix mine and others 🙂

*edit - after it's done,  another preemptive fix 🙂

Set run as admin forever and not right click it each time;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\Origin.exe right click, properties, compatibility tab, run as admin (select box at bottom)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront II\starwarsbattlefrontii.exe right click, properties, compatibility tab, run as admin (select box
at bottom)

Uninstalling and reinstalling origin, shouldn't remove the game. Remember, if you do a reinstall of the game,

Move the "STAR WARS Battlefront II" folder from "C:\Users\UserName\Documents\STAR WARS Battlefront II", to the desktop.

Because the uninstall doesn't remove that.

@c2a2f2b7f1ca3466 Welp Repair has stopped itself at 99% and Just sits there I cant even play Starkiller arcade anymore. The only option its giving me is to pause the repair, Which has been idle for several hours now. 

SOLVED! (for me at least) @c2a2f2b7f1ca3466 Ok so it turns out you need to install origin in the default directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin. I installed it on my D:\ drive and Origin split itself between C and D Drives causing the lockups. MAKE SURE ORIGIN IS INSTALLED IN THE DEFAULT DIRECTORY!! 🙂 Deleted Origin and reinstalled on C:\ and the game works flawlessly (so far) Thanks all for the help, can play now Yippee!

Thanks for keeping us updated. I will try reinstalling Origin like you proposed. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

Makes me wonder if having my pagefile split between c and d is causing me crashes to blackscreen then desktop :S

currently in queue with chat, nice queue times though - 5-10minutes

Grats on solution 🙂 I just posted a link to it in this thread too

@c2a2f2b7f1ca3466 Having a new issue now lol, Tried to join Multiplayer a few times, Finds a game, Shows me the World were going to but fails to load it and either hangs or CTD. Restarted everything and when I launch the game I get the message in a box saying "You are Offline, connect for more features" or similar. Then it tells me it cant retrieve my daily crate, Check my Connection and try again Error code 2347. Now I was online earlier as I already have recieved a daily crate + Pre order crates. Internet is fine, IM online in Origin. Havent been able to find anyone else with this offline error. ☹️

this image +1 more new - back at support :P that's not counting crash dumps removed from reinstalls, and fresh os install...

I dont have as many as you XD I gave up waaaay earlier lol

No we aren't D measuring, it's CrashLog measuring :P

I make jokes to not be as frustrated 🙂

*EDIT - support update, my vid card on gaming notebook doesn't cut it :S and i don't have the $$ to build a new rig right now, cause laptop nvid is integrated into motherboard --- so I had to refund, since I can't play it :S maybe back in a couple months or something.. GL 

@O-Thunderchild-O, one more question please: Did you just installed Origin on your C:/ drive to make BF2 work? Or was it necessary to also reinstall BF2 to C:/? As the download took more than 24hrs I really hope reinstalling Origin will do the job.

Update. Still not working. I'll try and be as comprehensive as possible.

Steps taken so far.

- Updated to latest version of windows 10 (windows Update). I understand there is no manual way to update DirectX for windows 10 other than with windows update. Please correct me if Im wrong. 

- Uninstalled all files relating to Battlefront II (2017) (will refer to this as 'BF2' from here on out). This was originally installed on a windows 10 software raid 0 drive (my L: drive).

- Uninstalled all other local game files relating to any and all origin games

- Deleted and removed any instance of any ea / origin files and folders including the BF2 folder in my documents, appdata, program files, and program files (x86) located on my primary (C🙂 drive.

- Complete uninstall of origin and reboot.

- On reboot, check for any new windows update (there were none). 

- Download and install clean version of origin from EA, now direct to the default directory C: drive (my primary drive, a 500GB SSD)

- Started download of BF2 (again). Paused after file structure is built on the C drive.

- Copied across local previously downloaded and saved 'installation' folders within the Data\win32 and Patch\Win32 sub folders previously downloaded. This forms 98% of the total approx. 56 GB data download. 

- Let the download resume - after 3-4mins the Origin downloaded recognised the files and jumped to 98% complete - finished downloading the remainder few hundred MB of data. 

- Reboot PC then run repair on game files (double checking) - no additional files were downloaded. 

-On launch of game it still only starts the arcade mode on Star Killer base. No full game is launched. When in the arcade / starkiller base game window, the 'launch full game' option is greyed out showing '0% installed'

At this stage now need some serious feedback from EA technical support. I don't particularly want to be going down the lines of a refund as this game looks awesome but dont have the time to test every possible iteration and nuance of setting. Every other game I've ever installed on this machine has worked first time, no problems. 

Next step for me is a complete uninstall and removal of all EA / Origin / BF2 files (again) and completely re-download the whole 56gb install overnight. Will post another update when that is complete. 

Primary System Specs:

OS: Windows 10 version 1709

CPU: Intel i7 6700K

GPU: Nvidia/Asus GTX 1070 Roc Strix

MB: Asus Maximus VIII Ranger

RAM: 16GB DDR4

C Drive Disk: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD

Update: In live chat Que now......

Although you just destroyed my hope to beeing able to play BF tonight, thank you @Scholesy92 for your detailed description.

Please keep us informed if you learn anything new from the lice chat.

Thank's a lot.

@null9elf Just Origin is on my C drive (SSD) Battlefront 2 is on my D Drive (HDD)

*EDIT* In live chat queue now also. Will update

Thank's a lot guys. I really appreciatey your updates.

@null9elf Nothing new or any problems found from the live chat after providing dxdiag report and MSN info report. Being referred up the chain to a 'specialist.' Maximum response time is 3 days. Starting the complete installation process and complete re-download now. 

If anyone else has any solutions, or any other ways that do not fix this problem, keep the feedback coming. (As Thomas Edison said' I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work). Lets just hope we don't all have to test 10,000 iterations before we find a solution!

OK So Live chat was a bust, Told me to Update and then repair the game, I updated it and it downloaded an update, but hung at 99% and stopped all activity. So I cancelled that update and ran the repair, Now its Downloading ANOTHER 16gb of files. It did this same thing earlier today. Starting to think im going to have to scrap the entire thing and delete both the game and Origin and start again. Grrrrrrr Australian internet sucks * and to have to Download ANOTHER 55gb.... sigh

 **EDIT** That is Indeed what the EA chat guy suggested too, HE gave me a link to install REVO Uninstaller and to completely get rid of all traces of Origin and Battlefront II and start again.

☹️ Will Advise it it fixes anything

Good luck with that.

together with BF2 I installed Origin the very first time on my brand new computer.

So I am not very faithful that cleaning the whole EA/Origin * really helps.

But I will try this myself.

And I dont think that your internet connection sucks.

It took me 16 hours to download BF2 with 100 Mbit/s cable connection.

EAs servers seem to be as good as their troubleshooting abilities :-/.
