Hey @adcaelums Do you use any overlay programs while trying to start SWBF2? Also, have you tried moving the SWBF2 documents folder to the desktop and then try to start SWBF2 and see if that helps? /Atic

@adcaelums Ive been trying to fix this since I downloaded it at 11 am today its now been 8 hours of me trying to fix it I did 2 fresh installs which did nothing then tried all the *fixes posted on other forums. I hate that this always happens when there's an update

@EA_Atic Any updated information would be greatly appreciated . It’s just very frustrating when the game worked before the update and now it’s unplayable. Most if not all who has this problem has tried every workaround that’s been suggested. Purchased this game recently last week and now we can’t even enjoy the new content 😞
