this image +1 more new - back at support :P that's not counting crash dumps removed from reinstalls, and fresh os install...
I dont have as many as you XD I gave up waaaay earlier lol
No we aren't D measuring, it's CrashLog measuring :P
I make jokes to not be as frustrated 
*EDIT - support update, my vid card on gaming notebook doesn't cut it :S and i don't have the $$ to build a new rig right now, cause laptop nvid is integrated into motherboard --- so I had to refund, since I can't play it :S maybe back in a couple months or something.. GL
Update. Still not working. I'll try and be as comprehensive as possible.
Steps taken so far.
- Updated to latest version of windows 10 (windows Update). I understand there is no manual way to update DirectX for windows 10 other than with windows update. Please correct me if Im wrong.
- Uninstalled all files relating to Battlefront II (2017) (will refer to this as 'BF2' from here on out). This was originally installed on a windows 10 software raid 0 drive (my L: drive).
- Uninstalled all other local game files relating to any and all origin games
- Deleted and removed any instance of any ea / origin files and folders including the BF2 folder in my documents, appdata, program files, and program files (x86) located on my primary (C drive.
- Complete uninstall of origin and reboot.
- On reboot, check for any new windows update (there were none).
- Download and install clean version of origin from EA, now direct to the default directory C: drive (my primary drive, a 500GB SSD)
- Started download of BF2 (again). Paused after file structure is built on the C drive.
- Copied across local previously downloaded and saved 'installation' folders within the Data\win32 and Patch\Win32 sub folders previously downloaded. This forms 98% of the total approx. 56 GB data download.
- Let the download resume - after 3-4mins the Origin downloaded recognised the files and jumped to 98% complete - finished downloading the remainder few hundred MB of data.
- Reboot PC then run repair on game files (double checking) - no additional files were downloaded.
-On launch of game it still only starts the arcade mode on Star Killer base. No full game is launched. When in the arcade / starkiller base game window, the 'launch full game' option is greyed out showing '0% installed'
At this stage now need some serious feedback from EA technical support. I don't particularly want to be going down the lines of a refund as this game looks awesome but dont have the time to test every possible iteration and nuance of setting. Every other game I've ever installed on this machine has worked first time, no problems.
Next step for me is a complete uninstall and removal of all EA / Origin / BF2 files (again) and completely re-download the whole 56gb install overnight. Will post another update when that is complete.

Update: In live chat Que now......
OK So Live chat was a bust, Told me to Update and then repair the game, I updated it and it downloaded an update, but hung at 99% and stopped all activity. So I cancelled that update and ran the repair, Now its Downloading ANOTHER 16gb of files. It did this same thing earlier today. Starting to think im going to have to scrap the entire thing and delete both the game and Origin and start again. Grrrrrrr Australian internet sucks * and to have to Download ANOTHER 55gb.... sigh
**EDIT** That is Indeed what the EA chat guy suggested too, HE gave me a link to install REVO Uninstaller and to completely get rid of all traces of Origin and Battlefront II and start again.
Will Advise it it fixes anything
