Thanks for all the help. It wierdly fixed itself after I updated to 23h2 on windows, and only then so it was something to do with the lack of compadability with that windows version 22h2.
I have done both of these and niether have worked. I have as well attempted to run EA desktop as an admin as well as ea services. As to the install location it is installed on the steam de4sktop and into the EA games section of EA desktop. (I copied the files in an attempt to fix the problems)
EA Staff (Retired)Apologies to confirm when you mentioned:
"install location it is installed on the steam de4sktop and into the EA games section of EA desktop"
Did you try installing it in 2 different locations, or do you have 2 installs of TF2?
Also, when you have a moment can we try the following?
Cheers,
I have done all these steps, and none have worked. I installed it in 2 different locations and it shows up as installed on the ea app and on steam. I have done a clean boot of the EA app and have also done a file checker (thorough and from windows) for GPU and windows updates. I recently did the vc++ updates as well and have scoured every other corner of the internet to find what i wrong. One thing that happened directly after installing it was a file named MSVCP120.dll was missing and I am unsure of a reputable source to get this file from. I currently have it downloaded from a link I found on a trusted youtuber page, but any kind of ideas would be good here.
EA Staff (Retired)Apologies for the delay, To confirm you will only want one install at a time on your machine to prevent any file conflicts.
Uninstall both versions, then install it from the client you wish to play from.
For missing DLL files, these would be tied to Windows in which case we could try the following:
Tried these just now and won't work. I am still getting the error message that the game needs permissions. I have given, admin, read and write permissions to EA desktop and to Titanfall 2 application. I have uninstalled and reinstalled on steam, and nothing has changed the EA app error message. It would be amazing if EA didn't force you to use the stupid app because clearly if this were so the game would launch fine. I checked task manager and is the EA app's fault that it won't launch. I did a clean boot of my system as well as a reinstall of the EA app and a repair of all the files mentioned.
