Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2017) gives black screen for 3 seconds, then crashes

exact same issue here, 1st few times I tried launching it, went to black screen then just closed, now when I launch it, I get black screen, can see mouse pointer and hear sounds of the game, but the screen is black.. repair says all files are valid, reinstalled Nvidia 388.43 drivers, issue remains.. this is clearly not an end-users problem
