Hey Everyone, 

Thank you to those who have had a moment to try the steps I posted, I have shared this with our team. 

If possible would I be able to get a DxDiag from players running into this issue?

Cheers!

I was having the same problem. I just tried turning off 'run as administrator' on the bf5.exe properties and the game launched!!

EDIT: played a few games, had fun, had to deal with a cheater though... Kind of wish EA/Dice had a social system that dealed with cheaters. Simply make a vote system that asks "is someone cheaeting?" And without any administrator requirements, simply change the game mode or style to only allow knives or something for a limit of 5 minutes. Then allow the vote system to occur again until the cheater leaves.

Those who click no should be saved to a list as a cheater supporter in the event that the situation was later analyzed and deemed true that a cheater was present. Then allow a point system to score players on the accuracy of detecting a cheater and give those voters the combined ability to select who the cheater is and then kick which would spend a point.

It is possible to reward players who become accurate at detecting cheaters. Maybe some sort of special and unique item. 

Maybe it would be very beneficial to create a side-game out of this since there are so many cheaters.

How is it not possible to detect a cheater via overridden input signals such as impossible movements?

I swear EA/Dice are not interested in putting any effort into keeping their games fun and this is their way of saying "hey come buy the next game we promise there won't be any cheaters until most of the population purchases the game!"

Maybe just limit input data to be routed through the game and block data injection by creating a unique encryption of the input data coming from the drivers which themselves should have hacking protection. Afterwards, only an outside hardware hack could be used and then that can be just limited by simulating predetermined limits over mouse pointer data that no human could achieve.

I hope it will help a bit...

So on Monday I played Battlefield 5 in the morning and then in the evening I wanted to play again but the game doesn't launch. I press play the game shows up for a split second in task manager and then disappears and doesn't launch. The same happened with SWBF2 I tested using a single mod on FrostyModManager and it worked. I don't know what happened between the morning and afternoon. I didn't install any new software and I didn't change anything.

I've tried:

• Clearing Origin cache
• Clean boot
• Reinstalling the game
• Repairing the game
• Updating the game
• adding exceptions to the entire Origin and BFV folders
• tried running it in compatibility
• Running Origin and BFV as admin
• Updating Graphics Drivers
• Disable Origin overlay
• Disabling cloud saves
• reinstalling Graphics Drivers

I've probably tried everything on the internet now and it still hasn't fixed. I don't know what else I can do. Anyone else encountered this impossible bug?
