Solved
The game will not start
I've been trying to get it to work for hours now and not a single recommendation has worked so I've decided to detail exactly what is happening and get a solution that way. The day I got it and installed it worked fine, but I got off because I wanted to share the first time experience with a friend, something we planned to happen the next day. Unfortunately that day roles arounds I get on and the game doesn't launch, whether it be from steam or origin itself nothing pops up, nothing on the taskbar or any loads on task manager. All that happens is steam says the game is running for a bit until origin appears to refresh(all that is on origin for that brief time is a loading circle), and steam says the game is no longer running. As for what I've tried, I've completely wiped and reinstalled both origin and the game itself at least 4 times, and verified I don't know how much, I've even tried downloading origin before I downloaded the game to no avail, I've deleted the settings folder in the documents folder for the game, and when that didn't work I deleted the entire star wars folder in documents also to no avail, I've tried running steam, origin, and the game in admin mode and compatibility mode, I've tried disabling the origin in-game overlay, and disabled the steam and discord overlay when that didn't work, I've disabled the origin Icloud, I've ran CCleaner, updated my windows and drivers, preformed a "clean boot", disabled both my antivirus', I've listed off as much as I remember doing. I think it is worthy of note that currently the game doesn't have a folder in documents, even after attempting to launch the game it doesn't appear to be able to create the folder.
Yowsa - that's a lot of stuff you've tried.
It sounds like it is rights-related to me.
Try installing and running with an account that you know 100% has administrative rights.
For what it's worth - years ago, I had a similar situation with Quicken. When it first installed, it worked fine. As soon as I exited and tried to open again, it wouldn't work. It was because Quicken was installing with some funky rights. As I recall, I used "Run as Administrator" to execute the install file.
