I used to be able to run this game without many issues, but recently I've been having a serious problem on startup. I'm launching Star Wars Battlefront 2 from Origin and the game starts up fine, but hangs on the title loading screen for an unreasonable amount of time. If I just let it run, it will eventually take me into the main menu, but the problem persists if I try to join a game and I get kicked as a result so I can't even really play the game. I've tried many of the common solutions (re-install, repair, deleting the Battlefront 2 documents folder) but none of these solutions have worked for me thus far.CPU - AMD FX-6350GPU - 3071MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (MSI)RAM - 16.0GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24)

@EA_Atic I am currently using dx11

@EA_BarryI've had this problem on multiple hard drives. I also have not been having this problem with any of my other games on steam, EGS, etc

My problem is the same as title. Game runs perfectly fine so I have no complaints there but the startup loading time when launching the game takes around 4 minutes, loading into the campaign loads takes 3 minutes. My current Nvidia driver version is 460.79. I was wondering if anyone found a solution for this cause I also tried pausing my anti-virus to see if it would help and the game is installed on my SSD.

@RocketPlatypus This could potentially indicate your hard drive is getting close to failing. It is probably a good idea to backup anything important from that drive while you still can.

Hey @RBChee are you using DX12 when playing? I recommend that you try DX11.

Hello, I recently took advantage of the free giveaway of the game Battlefront II Celebration Edition on Epic Games, and have installed everything that came with it. But it won’t ever leave the first image with all the helmets even though at the corner there’s something like a circle made of lines that’s “loading” I assume. I don’t know what extra info to give... I have a windows 10x64 intel core i5-7200, with an nvidia GeForce 940mx and an Ethernet connection of 450mbps

I also have a fairly new computer, and this is the only game that does this. My hard drive is definitely not close to failing.

@RBChee Just want to leave my post here that I also have this issue. No, my hard drive is not near death, I'm on DX11...
Only this game seems to have this issue, as I can load much larger games like Cod WZ in 10-15 seconds. Of course, this is not apples to apples, but a 2.5 min loading time is pretty excessive, and 4-5 min to load campaign, again is excessive.
Of course, when I run the game, everything runs super smoothly.

@khorito Not sure what your issue exactly, but I also had extremely long load times... now, things load extremely quickly. All I did was updated my Nvidia drivers with the Geforce experience... although I suspect the issue may be the game needs to install itself -- or something along the lines of organizing files for early uses? I'm not sure. But I went from having painfully long load times, to less than 5 seconds. Truly odd, since some people said "rolling back drivers fixed for them", whereas, I updated my drivers, and it fixed.
