Battlefront II Crash On Loading Screen & Loads Forever

[SWVIII]

Decided that I'm gonna re-download the whole game. Hoping for the best.

Already tried that. The game was somewhat functional for about 20 minutes then it went back to the never ending loads, crashes and terrible performance. Check other threads, something went wrong with eh Geonosis update.

@Azanure In that case, I'm gonna cancel the download, it's gonna be a waste of data to download 70GB and not have a game that works.

Just because it didn't work for someone else doesn't mean it won't work for you.

Still, a Dump would tell us more about the problem.

• Create a new Windows user account. (Administrator)
• Reboot > Log in to the new windows user account > Test.

If the game still don't works, try to create the Dump again.

If it fails again, no virus scanner at all is not a good idea.

Enable the Defender and scan the entire system. (Malwarebytes will not detect any virus on your system, it is simply not made for that.)

Hey, do you play on a data hotspot as well?

[SWVIII]

@WaterWelon Nope.

Just noting that I'm seeing this problem as well.  Cannot launch the game, crash at launch.

Nothing special with my setup, using NVidia Driver 417.22.

I'm trying to launch the trial, as part of EA Access.

Tried a completely different computer.  Crashes there as well. 

Two wildly different systems, crashes on both.  Win7 on one, Win10 on other. Three different OS installs.

1) Win10 1803, Driver 417.22, i7-8700K, GTX 1080-ti, 16G

2) Win7, Driver 417.35, i7-6700K, GTX 980, 16G

3) Win10 1809, Driver 417.22, i7-6700K, GTX 980, 16G

There are crash minidump files in the user/documents/starwars folder, but the info is not helpful.  It's an invalid memory reference, no stack crawl.

Did Repair on both computers, all files validate.  DxDiag shows no errors. No other games have any problems.

Does this game work at all?

I stumbled across this on Twitter. Does this help fix it for anyone else?

"Turning off cloud and deleting the files highlighted in the image fixed it for me. DICE must have changed something in the profiles making them incompatible with the new version of the game. Origin needs to delete these 3 files when updating to fix the issue."

I deleted that entire settings folder at each test, so that the game would recreate it. No change, crashes in every scenario I've tried.

Also of note- all this testing just burned up an hour of my 'trial' time. Super not happy to spend my valuable time debugging, and getting charged for it.
