Re: My star wars battlefront 2 won't start up in Origin

@Lactios 

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.

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

@Lactios 

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.

Same here i have over 800h play since launch none of "advices" help and they also mark my post as spam great thanks EA and Dice i will never buy anything from you everything works perfect except your game so you remove topics and blame people PC, OS, drivers or hardware great customer support and great customer treatment

Still waiting for a fix. Hello EA ? Hello Origin ? Wake up ??

So i havent touched this game since its awful release, wanted to play around with it and seems to be having this issue the one thing i noticed that isnt right is my geforce doesnt have any video settings for the game. tried all the suggestions from previous posts and redid the downloads.. whats goofy is the game ran fine when i was downloading it at like 30%... any suggestions that do work or something i can try?

I'ts a really frustrating problem.

I've been waiting a long time to play either of the SW Battlefront games, finally upgraded my laptop to a Surface Book 2 i7 GTX1050 8G Ram and downloaded the game two days ago.

Game ran fine for the first 4 hours - bliss, was really looking forward to jumping in again this morning but on loading was pinged a pop up telling me that my 1050 drivers were out of date and the game would perform better (and might not run) unless I updated them. So I did, but on relaunching the game it stuttered so badly it was unplayable. I then tried to roll back the driver but it no longer existed on my system so I couldn't identify it. Then, the game wouldn't load at all. I'd fire up Origin (in administrator mode) launch the game, it connects through STEAM, goes full screen black and then quits.

I tried cleaning out the Origin cache, running in admin mode, uninstalling/reinstalling the game but no progress. Then thought to try and find the original driver my SB2 shipped with which led me to an update pack issued on 20th May 2020. The associated driver for my Win64 notebook was 442.74. I used the NVidia installer to do a custom install, all options and clean install checked and now the game runs as it did before. Only worry is that any future upgrade recommended by any other game may break it. Guess I need to exhaust the title before trying anything else ...
