Star Wars Battlefront 2: Please update your Intel Driver

Hi @jesusking7764

While you might have some success playing other games we cannot guarantee the game will launch or play without any technical issues with those specifications. Star Wars Battlefront II is a highly visual demanding game that requires a strong graphics card. It looks like your process and RAM is also below system specifications.

I am also having this issue... please help

Hi @CreditWarrior96 

Your system specs should be able to run the game. I'd recommend making sure you have the latest drivers for your video card and updates for Windows. 

Here is how to check for those: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/pc-graphics-troubleshooting/

For Windows Updates just type "Windows Updates" in the search bar on your desktop. You'll see it at the top.

With an Nvidia card you'll want to visit this site to download the latest driver: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Ok. I guess there is nothing I can do then. The game is not even opening. I would at least like to open the game to lower the settings, but all I get is a black screen and then it just closes. This is very annoying because I have seen many people playing the game on the lowest settings...

Hey @jesusking7764 , if you go to your document folder, do you see Star Wars: Battlefront 2 there?  If you do, open it up and go to settings and then open ProfileOptions_profile with note pad. You can change your settings there.  🙂

Hey @EA_Atic , There is a SWB2 folder there, but no settings inside. The folders that do appear are: CrashDumps, RimeTemp, and Screenshots. They are all empty except for CrashDumps, but there is no settings there either...😢

@EA_Blueberry 

I am not good with all this stuff but I have the exact same problem. Can you please respond on what I have to fix?

@darthanes345 try this:

Go to your documents>STAR WARS Battlefront II>settings>BootOptions

Open with notepad.

Find this string GstRender.EnableDx12. Change it too  GstRender.EnableDx11.

Then got to folder ProfileOptions_profile (also in the previous settings folder)

Find the string GstRender.EnableDx12 and change it to GstRender.EnableDx11.
