Can't launch the game [SOLVED]

[Gabbroche]

So I recently bought the game via Steam and I do see it in my Origin library. I downloaded the game but it just won't launch. On Origin, it says "The game STAR WARS™ Battlefront™ II does not appear to be installed. Please install it or try relaunching the game." and indeed, Origin doesn't show the "Play" button but an "Download" button.
The Origin files are on my C: disk but I installed the game on my D:. The thing is, I also have Jedi Fallen Order installed the same way and it works just fine (Origin doesn't ask me to download it)
Anybody got any idea where this could come from? Because I don't really want to download a 90 GB game again

EDIT: The issue came from my VPN, try disabling it if you have the same problem (and thanks to the nice guy who helped me!)

In origin have you tried using the "Add a game" and then selecting non origin game? IDK if itll work but worth a try

I found this on the EA forum.

Activate "unidentified game" issue for Origin games bought through Steam usually happen if you have active VPN on your system.

Shut down the VPN then restart both Origin & Steam then run the game from Steam, a window to link Steam account to Origin account will pop and then you can play the game.



However if you don't have VPN then so far I can only suggest "Run as Administrator" both Origin & Steam

I also found this. Plus im watching a video to see if maybe it has a solution for you aswell.

Set your "Install Folder" to the proper install location of your Battlefront game

If this does not recognize your game

Right click the entitlement and do a repair install

If this is not available or does not work, manually go to your registry

run REGEDIT HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/IntelliPoint/AppSpecific/battlefront.exe/Path Make sure this is pointing properly to your EXE

EDIT: Lots of horrid grammar mistakes

Note: When you first launch the game it is going to "Check Files" this can look like downloading but you can see that it is not by looking at your network usage. It quickly checks the files to ensure the game is properly installed before you can play it.

This one might have your answer.
