Okay, so, I've downloaded The Force Unleashed 2 a while back when it first came out in the vault, and it's never been able to launch properly.
I open the program, a black screen pops up, I hear what sounds like a lightsaber noise and a weird 'eh' like someone was jumping around with the lightsaber, which I'm assuming is the logo/intro, but the screen is still completely black, then it just stops, the black screen is no longer in full-screen mode and then goes away.
I've tried having origin repair the game, I've tried setting the compatibility to SP3 like a forum post on steam suggested, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling about six times, I've tried updating the game, I've tried restarting my computer before launching it, I've tried running as administrator, I've tried changing the screen resolution, I've tried tinkering with services while trying to open up the game in case any other programs were interfering but no cigar.
I'm on a dell laptop using windows 7, everything is fairly updated and my computer has never had any problems running the Force Unleashed 1, or any other games I've gotten from Origin.
I'm not too tech savvy so I apologize if any other information is needed to help with the problem.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey @Mozarthecat sorry to see that you are having issues.
As STAR WARS: The Force Unleashed II isn't an EA game then it may be a case that you need to speak with the team behind the game. That said, we can take some time to go through some basic troubleshooting steps to see if we can't get it working.
I know in the past that I have seen people report that disabling desktop composition can help with issues relating to the game crashing.
Can you try disabling it to see if it helps:

Hey @APonmyleft the best thing that I can recommend is to try the steps I posted above and if the issue continues you will need to speak with the game's developer/publisher for further assistance.
