Re: black screen startup loading icon!!

Thank you! Im kinda happy that that it isint just me with this issue, could it possibly be a problem with direct x? right now i've created a settings ini file in documents and added the line GstRender.EnableDx12 0 to see if i am able to launch it with this setting, as i have never actually launched the game at all ive only hit the black screen with my mouse doing a loading icon, atm i have to leave but i will restart my pc with these settings and report back here to see if they change anything, or if someone else found a fix that will work.

Spent probably 30 mins on the phone with support and after attempting and failing to launch this game from a new admin profile they decided to do another uninstall and use CCleaner to clean cache and Temp files associated with the game (kinda like what I already did).   Anyways, this ultimately failed again so I am holding for another go at it with their support again.  I will say that they told me to change the name of of the Star Wars Battlefront II folder in the documents to (Battlefront II backup) no para.  This made the black window stay and the game didn't close immediately but after some time I assumed it was frozen.  May be worth a try...other than that this issue is still alive.

Nope, i tried that and it still just closes after a couple of seconds, but please keep us updated on if you find the solution! i just got home and i intend to keep troubleshooting it to the best of my abilities

Have you gotten a solution for the problem besides the direct x 1/0 method?

still dont have a fix for it, been trying everything, tommrow i leave for a camping trip so i wont be on here for 2 days, someone please leave fixes!

still nothing man....spent another 30 min to an hour with the customer support and nothing....I don't understand dude...
