Battlefield 5 Won't Launch [ Edited ]

[Mauling-Maul]

So at the start SWBF2 and BFV didn't work. I've tried every fix I've seen on here. I've also tried downloading an entirely separate game on origin and it worked fine. I tried SWBF2 with a mod through FrostyModManager and it worked fine. But BFV is still failing to launch. To my knowledge there was about a space of 5 ish hours from the time it worked to the time it stopped working. I didn't download anything new to my knowledge I didn't even install the new Nvidia Drivers to that point. 

Also no offence but this is why Steam are the undisputed king of PC game platforms because you let stuff like this happen and let it go on for far beyond the reasonable time. Like I can understand a couple days but this is ridiculous. The discussion was first posted 3 weeks ago.

Ok. I tried something, maybe help to others as well...

First. Uninstall everything (EA Beta app, Origin, BF V). 

Second . Delete everything what left after uninstalls: files, registry datas ( Help is here  ), AND very important, if you using OneDrive, delete everything from there as well! Files, Folders (All EA, Origin, game folder, file!!!).

After I just installed EA Beta app trough the Xbox app, and installed game. Worked well, no problem at all. 

Good luck and have Fun for everyone!

See I know that would work but I don't want to risk doing something wrong in the registry. But we shouldn't have to do anything like this. We shouldn't have to fix their game bought by our money just so we can play it. They've done the same with SWBF2 broken game for all and aren't fixing it and its been weeks for BF2. Now we have the same here where some not all but some players aren't able to play the game. Its just stupid. I'm willing to bet they won't provide a fix for this at least 3 weeks and at most they will never fix it.

While the new match’s timer was counting down, two players in my squad switch to the other team. All three of us were in the new match together, in the same squad. As we were the match prior. The other team had about 5 more players before my squad mates switched teams. They didn’t even leave the server to do it. They were able to switch teams in-game, to a team that had far more players. How is this possible? I thought switching teams is impossible in BFV? Playing on PC by the way.

I've also tried installing BF1. I can only play Battlefield 1 if I run it through FrostyModManager same as SWBF2 without any mods. This is getting beyond ridiculous. Are you even fixing it at all? Its been like 4 weeks now since someone first posted about this issue. We've all given pretty extensive knowledge of what happens and what doesn't work.

When will we get a fix? It is currently impossible to run the game from steam.

QUICK FIX: Start the game on ea desktop and once in the game, close it. Close ea desktop and run the game from steam.
