Proposed Title for the Forum: Star Wars Battlefront II (Steam) fails to launch / silent crash to EA App / Exhaustive Troubleshooting done Problem Description: * The game launched via Steam briefly opens the loading screen or starts the process, then closes silently without any error message. * The EA App pops up afterwards as if nothing happened. * The game does not generate any configuration files on startup. The folder "STAR WARS Battlefront II" under Windows "Documents" is completely missing. Troubleshooting steps performed (without success): 1. Launcher, Cache and Reinstallation * Complete reinstallation of Steam and the EA App. * Cleared EA App cache via App Recovery. * Completely deleted EA App certificates and temporary files under LocalAppData. * Removed old Origin folder remnants in ProgramData and AppData. * Manually restarted the EABackgroundService and verified it is set to automatic start. * Verified game file integrity via Steam multiple times. 2. System Environment and Drivers * Updated all system and graphics drivers to the latest version. * Created a new local Windows user with administrator privileges and attempted launch there. * Moved the installation to the primary system drive (C:) to rule out symlink or secondary drive issues. * Completely uninstalled and cleanly reinstalled ALL Visual C++ Redistributables (all versions from 2005 to current for both x86 and x64) as well as the full DirectX SDK and DirectX End User Runtimes (this fixed an initial 0xc000007b error with ActivationUI.exe but the silent crash persists). 3. Permissions and UAC (User Account Control) * Ran Steam and EA App synchronously as administrator. * Completely revoked admin rights for both launchers for testing. * Tested asymmetrical permissions (EA App as Admin, Steam without). * Strictly disabled compatibility mode for ActivationUI.exe and starwarsbattlefrontii.exe. 4. Folder Permissions and Antivirus * Checked Windows Ransomware Protection (Controlled folder access) and set exceptions for the game. * Disabled antivirus and whitelisted complete folder structures. * Disabled OneDrive synchronization to rule out path redirections for the Documents folder. * Manually created the folder structure under Documents ("STAR WARS Battlefront II\settings") to bypass permission issues during automatic creation. 5. Engine Workarounds and Interfaces * Disabled all in game overlays (Steam, EA App, Discord). * Forced DirectX 11 launch by manually creating the boot file ProfileOptions_profile with the parameter GstRender.EnableDx12 0. * Set Intel OpenSSL Environment Variable for newer CPUs (OPENSSL_ia32cap = ~0x200000200000000). * Manually triggered the game launch via Link2EA.exe, EALauncher.exe, and directly via EADesktop.exe. * Verified and confirmed the link between the Steam and EA account in the web browser. With this level of technical detail, I hope the developers or community managers will immediately recognize that the issue lies deep within the Frostbite engine or the API interface between Steam and EA. And yeah, I summarized everything I did with AI because I am completely burned out with this issue. It makes no sense that EA doesn't do anything about it, considering how many people have this exact problem and are asking for help on different platforms. But nothing happens.
Ewok Hunt has game breaking glitches
Ewok Hunt is completely broken and has been for several updates now — can we PLEASE get a fix? Two bugs are killing the mode: first, black screens and movement locks right when the evacuation ship is about to spawn, and second, random mid-game freezes that force you to respawn for no reason. It's not an occasional glitch, it's constant and game-breaking. A lot of us bought Battlefront 2 specifically for this mode. It's genuinely sad to see it in this state. Dev team, please acknowledge this.BF II don't start
Hello, I am reaching out to support because Star Wars Battlefront II has not been working for several weeks and I have exhausted every solution I could find. Exact symptom: the game launches, the window opens for about 2 seconds, it attempts to go fullscreen, then silently closes and reopens the EA launcher. No error message, no error code, nothing. Sometimes it accepts to launch once or twice, then stops working entirely afterwards, without any changes made on my end between sessions. System configuration: - GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT - CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X - Secure Boot: Enabled - BIOS Mode: UEFI - Game purchased via Steam, tested via both Steam AND the EA App Troubleshooting steps already attempted without success: - Full uninstall of the game (including system files) and reinstall - Clean AMD driver reinstall using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) - Disabled Radeon Anti-Lag - Installed Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 x64 and x86 - Cleared the EA App cache - Verified game file integrity via Steam (no corrupted files detected) - Reinstalled EA AntiCheat via EAAntiCheat.Installer as administrator - Checked environment variables (no GAME_DATA_DIR present) - Disabled DirectX 12 in the game config files - Checked Windows Event Viewer (no error logged at the time of the crash) I suspect the issue is related to EA Javelin AntiCheat silently killing the process, as the behavior matches exactly: silent crash with no message, random between sessions, no trace in Windows logs. I saw that both: SWB2 crashes when the game starts. | EA Forums - 13430650 and SWB2 crashes when the game starts. | EA Forums - 13430650SWB2 crashes when the game starts. | EA Forums - 13430650 seems to have the same problem, I hope you're gonna find what is wrong with it Thank you for your help in resolving this issue.
Galactic Assault camera locks after objective completion, forcing respawn
When you complete a team objective the characters in the servers on pc force your character to stare in one direction and no matter what you do or move your mouse you cant move, you have to respawn for it to work normal again. but does it multiple times in the game. Please fix this issue EA and update the game. CM: Edited to update thread title to include more contextCampaign Milestones Stuck after Server-side Reset
Since EA has disabled its customer support email (and since that hasn't been very useful in the past anyway), I thought I would try bringing up an issue here. Any thoughts at all on what I could do would be appreciated. The problem: Two campaign "Scavenger" milestones (find every hidden item in a mission) are stuck as incomplete in the Career > Campaign screen, even though the corresponding Select Mission screens show those hidden items as already found: - Under Covered Skies: Scavenger: Career shows 3/4, but the mission's collectibles display as unlocked/found - Until Ashes: Scavenger: Career shows 1/2, but the mission's collectibles display as unlocked/found Root cause: Some time ago, an EA server-side event reset milestone progress on my account (and others; this was widely reported at the time): any milestone not already completed was zeroed out. Critically, that reset zeroed the milestone counters but did NOT clear the per-mission "item found" flags. This left my account in a contradictory state across two of EA's data fields. Why I cannot fix this through gameplay: Because the items still register as found in the mission, the game will not let me re-collect them, and the milestone counter only increments on a fresh collection. On console, this would be fixable by deleting local save data to force a campaign reset, but the PC/EA App version stores this progression server-side with no player-facing way to reset it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and playing offline, but neither of these methods worked. Is there any way to get EA to do one of the following (any of these options would resolve the issue): Manually credit the two affected milestones to complete (Under Covered Skies: Scavenger 4/4 and Until Ashes: Scavenger 2/2), or Perform a reset of my campaign progression for these two levels so I can replay and re-collect every item cleanly, which will re-feed the milestone counters correctly, or Perform a full reset of my campaign progression so I can replay and re-collect every item cleanly, which willre-feed the milestone counters correctly.(I'm fine with losing campaign progress, as long as online progression, unlocks, credits, and other earned milestones are preserved.) Alternatively, is there anything else I can do on my end? Thank you to anyone who can offer comments or guidance.
Star Wars Battlefront II – Old progress visible, but unlocks are missing
Star Wars Battlefront II – Old Progress Visible, but Game Treats Account as New Hello everyone, I can see that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue, but after hours of research and even a phone call with EA Support, I still haven't found a solution. I'm experiencing what appears to be a progression/account synchronization issue in Star Wars Battlefront II. My account still displays parts of my old progression from the Origin era, but at the same time the game behaves as if I'm playing on a completely new account. What I can still see Parts of my old progression are clearly still visible: Old class levels are displayed Old hero levels are displayed Previously completed challenges still show completed progress bars Various indicators suggest that my historical progression data still exists What is no longer working Despite the old progression being visible, the game no longer recognizes it correctly. The following systems are affected: Class levels Hero levels Star Cards Weapons Skins Milestones / Challenges Achievements Example One of the clearest examples is the achievement/challenge system. Many achievements and challenges still show completed progress bars, indicating that I completed them in the past. However, the overall achievement counter shows 0/23 completed (see attached screenshots). In other words, the game appears to remember that the progress once existed, but it no longer treats it as completed or unlocked. The same pattern can be seen throughout the entire progression system: old progression data is still visible, but the game behaves as though I am starting from scratch. Additional information Platform: PC IGN: Ergonax No error messages I am using the exact same EA account that I used during the Origin days I have never changed my EA account email address I have never changed account ownership I have never linked a different EA account I have never created a new account I have reinstalled the game I have tested the game on multiple PCs The issue remains identical on every installation Because the problem persists across different devices and fresh installations, I do not believe this is related to local files, cache, hardware, or game installation issues. At this point, it feels as if the game is referencing two different progression states at the same time: one containing my old progression data and another functioning as the active profile. Has anyone experienced something similar? Were you able to recover your progression, and if so, how? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
