Re: Titanfall 2 for Steam not launching (Origin says it's not installed)

Download the game normally and launch from origin library, it should not launch and you should be able to download it again from the library (not full download just finishing).

Click on the gear in the origin library and repair the game, it will automatically repair with steam wait and launch from steam library (not desktop icon) wait a few seconds if its not launching repeat launching from steam library until it will start, possible that you will have to allow accessing firewal again, do so.

I don't know exactly what the problem is here but i guess the communication between steam and origin is incomplete or just bad.

When leaving the game origin begins to struggle to me kinda logout and telling me sign in is not available at the moment or origin is just closing completely.

Here is an overview of what you can do:

- Download again from origin lib. just like i said already

- Repair

- Launch from steam/origin until it will start

- if origin is telling you again it is not installed, reinstall (not complete like said) and repair again

- you can ALSO try to launch as admin or with the .exe in the folder

Keep in mind that origin and steam should not be closed while trying to run the game or while it is running in case you have both versions.

Wondering if other games like BF1 cause the same problem, i haven't tested yet.

@Machlath Thanks for the suggestion, I'm giving this a shot. I just started downloading it now.

So, the current attempt is: game was uninstalled, I'm running Steam and Origin, I clicked Download in Origin and it opened up a Steam prompt asking me where to install it, and it is downloading now. I'll wait until it's done and follow the rest of your suggestion, then I'll reply when finished with the results.

Welp, I can't get to the repair step. Like previous attempts, downloading it through Origin doesn't seem to make it acknowledge the existence of the game, so I never get a button to "Repair", I'm just stuck with "Download", which when clicked makes Steam try to launch it, which in turn gets Origin to bring up: "The game Titanfall® 2 Deluxe Edition does not appear to be installed. Please install it or try relaunching the game."

Even with the game being there, I only get 4 options when clicking the gear symbol: Download, Remove from Favorites, Game Properties, Hide. The Game Properties option only has 2 tabs, the first has an epilepsy warning and a checkbox for the Origin overlay; the second tab has the cloud save options (a checkbox to toggle them, and a grayed out button to restore saves).
I tried repeatedly launching the game from Steam like you said in the hopes that maybe something will change somehow but that doesn't seem to work either.

Origin won't even recognize the game for me. Everytime i try to launch it from steam it says i need to activate i using the product key. I'm currently reinstalling the game right now. I'll get back to you guys after trying all the fixes out

It's working for me now. I reinstalled origin and redownloaded it from origin library itself. I don't know what's causing it but hope this helps.

@Machlath i have tried this already and i just cant get it to work it keeps saying C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32MSVCR120.dill is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0x0000 12f.
