Game not launching with mods

[B_Hind_U_Ghost]

I played Battlefront 2 for months but when I reinstalle dit after a break the game won't launch unless I remove the -datapath ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront II\ModData'' command from the game's properties, keeping me form using mods

I recently had the same problem and found a solution. I noticed I had a "mods" folder inside my "ModData" folder in the BF2 directory. So I tried adding it to the command line arguments in the advanced options in Origin, so for me it looks like this: -datapath "D:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront II\ModData\mods".

Worked like a charm, don't rly know why but hey... I ain't complaining

No one asked for your absolutely useless input

The mods are not causing issues. The new EA app is the one causing issues. I get this error after updating from Origin and launching the game without any mods: "Display Name Field Missing from Registry" and it requests a CD code or BUY the game again. Entering the game key (as specified in the game library) is rejected. Even though it's clearly owned as it says in my library. So don't blame mods or modders if you don't know how to solve this issue.

This is the real answer, though keep in mind this folder name depends on what you called it with Frosty.

I left as default, so in my case the folder was named "default" instead.

I put the path similar to yours replacing "mods" with "default", and it allowed me to launch it straight from the Origin client.

I have Battlefront 2 set up in a specific way for mods now; Frosty should just be used for adding/removing mods or changing the order, but after the testing is done I prefer launching it straight through the client.

It's quicker, and it can help resolve issues when mods don't display correctly (something about the cached content not working as it should through Frosty compared to running with the Datapath argument instead).

how are you still using orign? it completely locked me out of the app and forces me to use EA client. Which doesn't work for me, I can't start any game no matter which one. 
I will never buy an EA game again because I can't play it.
