Re: Star Wars Battlefront II frequently crashes on startup when Discord is running

Thanks for the reply @RogueZeroRendar!

I think your theory concerning Discord's Gaming Overlay may be spot-on.  I don't really use Discord that much, so I'd never really fiddled with its options.  After turning off Overlay for Battlefront II, I've found that the game starts without issue.

Additionally, I've found that starting Discord with Overlay turned on at any point after the game has already started causes it to crash, so it's not exclusively a startup issue.  Moreover, I found that if Battlefront II is started while Discord is open but Overlay is off, and if Overlay is then turned on (while both applications are already running), Battlefront II will crash.  The Overlay "toggle" button in the Discord settings menu acts like a self-destruct button for the game.

I also hope that EA/DICE can benefit from this for future titles.  I don't use Discord that much, so this isn't a huge loss for me; I can just keep Overlay disabled for Battlefront II and continue playing as usual.  Thank you again for the insight!
