Tried everything that was posted here but it didn't work for me.
What worked is running origin in Windows 8 Compatibility Mode.
May the force be with you fellow gamers and may it spit on EA.
Tried this but didn't work although I am on Win7 so Win8 compat. mode not avail.

@STR0NGB0W& other Win 7/10 users with this problem. I have been thinking long and hard about your problem (my brain hurts lol!! & your are confusing me with PC here and PC there) If you were able to play the game on prior occasions, can you identify when it stopped working? If you can, are you able to do a system restore bringing your setup back to that time?. This will not remove any personal data but eliminate any updates/software & driver installs. Here's how https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If this works then we may be able to work through the changes that may be causing your current problem.
Sadly I am unable to roll back as my rig is a new build approx. 4 months ago with a fresh install of Windows 7. The last PC I played on before this issue was my "old" living room PC which I was able to get working yesterday and that is 5+ year old hardware. I will be doing a fresh install on Windows again on this rig (new living room PC) and after I run updates & get the main drivers installed, I will install Origin and SWBF2 then attempt to play the game...if it works, I will continue installing software and test SWBF2 after each program is installed (which will take awhile but it seems needed at this point).
How many others here experiencing this issue are running Windows 7 on newer hardware?? (AMD AM4 socket & Intel 7th gen CPU and up). Has anyone EVER had SWBF2 working on a similar setup? (Ryzen 1700, Windows 7). I might try installing this on my AM4 server rig (which is not running 24/7 yet) still using my older Intel rig for my home server needs but my AM4 server is running an Athlon A12-9800E on Windows 7, which IIRC Microsoft does NOT block Windows 7 updates (Bristol Ridge APU's).
Going to check my BIOS as well but I really doubt there is anything going on there...I am quite peculiar with getting my PC tweaked and setup just right before I even start playing around as I am an ex A+ certified tech.
More soon!
