"This game requires permissions" error, Not Launching

I have no idea how to launch this game now. I don't know which and what files I need to take away/grant permissions to, or how to do that. I've already uninstalled both the game and the launcher and reinstalled onto the same drive. This is all for the Steam version of the game, just so ya know.

    Got it.

    The Steam install should have taken care of things for you, but obviously something did not go quite right.

    Have you tried setting the starwarsbattlefrontii.exe file to run as administrator?

  • How do I do that? If I right-click on the thing and hit "run as administrator" it's just the same error I've been getting.

    What "thing" are you referring to? The "STAR WARS Battlefront II" icon on your desktop? If so, right click on it and make sure it is pointing to starwarsbattlefrontii.exe file. (It probably is.)

  • I am having the same issue, I have tried the below fixes, they haven't worked.
    I have set the following to "Run as Administrator" under the Properties Compatibility tab
    All *.exe files in the game folder

    I am running the EA App as administrator

    I am running the Epic Store as administrator (this is where it was purchased)

  • Yeah, I did it on the .exe file that I found through using the "browse local files" option on Steam, and it still gives the same permissions error.
