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

I also have the same issue HELP!!!

Hello, i had this problem, only arcade worked, and game did not install 0% all the time, i did a "clean bot" on my windows 7, and now it worked.. search it up its no so hard. fast and easy

but now i did not get to play star wars today, used all night figuring this out, now im going to sleep.

I could not wait to take my computer to the living room on my 55inch tv with 4k this friday.. but then all this * * happend.

* this game and * EA for not having a better launcher, and * them for destroying my star wars hype for this friday night.

Friday destroyed.

ha thanks man you are my savior it's work now 🙂  can I reactivate all the services now?

@magzix3 Mate, you're a bloody ripper.

Update for everyone else. What magzix3 has suggested has worked (in part) here for me. Doing the clean boot for Windows 10 (v 1709) has now allowed me to launch the full game 3 times in a row with perfect success. The campaign starts smoothly (quit after a min just for testing).

I used the steps here on this website for a windows 10 clean boot: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/what-is-clean-boot-state-in-windows      I've never had to do this before. 

This is telling me that there is some form of incompatibility with either a startup .exe OR a service on my machine with Battlefront II (2017). As a number of people on this forum are listing similar issues this tells me this service or system is common amongst us PC users. 

I am still putting this down to a clear fault with the game and ea service need to address this as a matter of priority. A number of people on this forum are listing this exact problem or similar. Simple reasoning why this is an EA/Battlefront 2 issue is that every other software and game on my rig runs perfectly without having to spend over 24 hours fault finding, redownloading, testing and actively following these forums for solutions. 

As for this evening I'm going to enjoy this game for the first time (if nothing else goes wrong). Tomorrow will go through (hopefully) every service and startup .exe within the clean boot system configuration to try and work out exactly where the clash is. 

P.S. Just a sneaky suspicion. How many of us with this issue are running either asus hardware (MB, GPU etc) and or asus front end software (AI suite / fan controllers etc)? Will be trying these first thing tomorrow. 

Good luck all!

omg you beautiful *!

Killed Asus services and it booted into the full game, not the "arcade 0% installation" prison i have called home for 2 days.

In the past there had been randomly occasions it had booted the full game but it was terribly sluggish, its even smooth.

Yeah I can confirm that this is that services who cause the problem 🙂 (Game FIRST III)

Worked for me! Can't thank you enough!

np by the way I have the error code 327 do you have it too? that hapen to me when I quit a game and get back to the main menu ☹️

So far this turning off the RoG gamefirst stuff seems to have fixed the getting stuck on that in game installation screen. I've had twice in a row (a record) that its booted up just fine oddly as well another program i've been having issues with seems to have resolved its self as well once i disabled the gamefirst *. i will keep you all updated if it stops being a solution. Unfortunately for me i can't seem uninstall it completely as i think it got partially uninstalled at some point and can't find a download link to reinstall it to try again. 

SOLVED AND CONFIRMED

My solution - Disabling only the ASUS GameFirst Service in MSconfig - services allows the game to boot and launch perfectly.

Not going to bother uninstalling as it could end up causing more issues than it would solve, especially as disabling it in services lets the game launch just fine. 

Big thanks to all here for the tips and assistance in getting to the bottom of this, certainly smarter minds than mine when it comes to fault finding this stuff. 

Have a beer on me, happy weekend and see you on the Battlefront! 

Thanks @null9elf, great catch. 

Thank you very much null9elf, game works after stopping and disabling the "AsusGameFirstService" (Windows 10 b1709)

null9elf, thanks so much. finally works after days of trying.

Tanks  I switch off ASUS ROG Game First III and now i can play.

could you be a bit more specific idk wtf u talking about
