installation error battlefiled V

[Bossel1969]

Just got a new update to PC version of Battlefiled V and as normal it it starts to installing the game. After some time it pop up a window saying that I have to answer Yes to some windows questions (allowing it to do system changes). The only option I have is to close the window, after that nothing more happens...
I have tried not to close the window and the same result. Turn off local anti-virus and firewall and still the same result, anyone that might have a suggestion on how to solve this issue?

Hi and thanks,

I'm not done with everything yet but can give an quick update.

There is a new update (was running 10.5.56 before and are now on 10.5.57) for Origin so I have updated that first without any success but the update for Battlefield have change from being around 85 GB and are now down to under 1 GB.

It is also extremely slow (4-135 KB/sec) and not even close to my normal speed that is around 7-10 MB/sec. This means that I'm not sure when it will be finalized...

If the "new" smaller update don't work I will remove Battlefield V and do a new installation of.

Will let you know as soon as step one or two are done!

Hi,

I had the same - never a problem beforehand.  I tried deleting the Origin Cache as noted in many places but that totally caused issues with the Origin frontend.  I tried un-installing BFV and re-install with the same error.   Then I un-installed/re-installed Origin and BFV is now downloading.

In summary I would try removing the Origin front-end and re-installing first BEFORE removing BFV unless you have decent internet (85GB download).

It worked after the Origin update so it must have been a bug :-/

I have the same Issue, after pre the update is not starting and the same pop up window comes out "waiting for permission"....

I have tried update the origin but I have the same problem.

I had to uninstall Origin and reinstall it and after that it worked for me.

@Bossel1969 Thank you,
I have tried too but another pop up window says " Windows blocked our attempt to download game content. If you'd like to allow Origin to download content to your computer, select "Retry" below. When prompted, grant permission within the User Account Control pop-up.".

Do you see if the upgrade now is close to 1 GB or if it is still the larger?

Have you rebooted your PC between the upgrade?

You should not have to disable your firewall or anti-virus. If it worked for you before, then it should work again. All modern software and hardware firewalls will accommodate internet access for Battlefield V.
