BF5 will not launch

★★★ Newbie

AFTER EVERY SINGLE DAMN UPDATE the game will not open and I have to reinstall it.

I try to launch it, origin minimises then origin reappears and the game never launches.  No error and no event log entry.

 

This has literally happened after every update and I have to reinstall. For such an expensive game I am losing my patience. I  am moving to a new home which annoying doesn't get fibre so downloading a 70GB for any future patches every time is not going to be a jolly good experience. 

 

I have tried:

Running as admin both the game and Origin

Disable origin overlay

Reinstalling nVidia drivers

Updating Windows

Updating Drivers

Clearing Origin Cache

Repairing the game

Updating the game

And numerous other random things from other forum posts 

 

And still it appears only a reinstall is going to fix this. 

 

Any advice for me before I just give up on this game all together? haha

Sounds frustrating what you're going through to get this game back up and running.

Have you tried performing a clean boot? If there's a program conflicting with Origin running in the background that can help identify it. Once you perform the clean boot, launch the game up immediately as administrator.

Also, do you have Origin and your game on the same drive? 

 

There's a couple solutions that worked for other customers in a similar situation that's worth a look.
