Easy fix for Battlefield V not launching on the EA App.

[Tiny Trees]

...
EDIT: See post 5 - for important fix.


A few days ago, all my games on the EA App were blacked out.

I found a single simple two-step fix that solved the games being blacked out.


1. Clear Game Cache.
Use the three lines in the top left corner of the app. The burger menu as some call it.
Help>App Recovery> Clear Cache.
That should clear cache, and close the EA App. It not, close the app yourself.
Do not restart the EA App yet.

2. Open Task Manager.
Task Manager> Processes, scroll down to Background Processes. Find 'EA Background Processes', and end that task.

Then restart the EA App, and your games should all launch with no problems.


Secondly, if Battlefield V or any other game crashes to desktop on launch, pause your VPN if you have one.
That fixes issues with seven games on my EA App.

Some of my games were not launching tonight, as they were before this fix got them going again.

I tried the fix again my self tonight and it didn't work. No idea what to suggest.

I went through my EA library tonight and there are quite a few games not working.

EA need to let us roll back to the Origin app. The EA App has been nothing but trouble for most of us.

I will delete this thread very soon. Going to give you a chance to read it.

I think I found the fix for when some games will not launch on the EA App.

Turn off VPN.

It got my games going last night. Pretty sure I did the same when I got my games going last time a few days ago. that was when I posted this thread.

I saw it written on here that deleting the Battlefield V documents directory would fix the issue.

I did this, but something was preventing me from deleting all files in the folder. So I had to open my OneDrive app, THEN deleted the Battlefield V Directory and suddenly after weeks of not launching, the game finally launched! Seems like it was a OneDrive issue this whole time?? :D
It does seem to reset your single player progress though, and your settings, but I think this can be fixed by validating your BFV files through Steam.

Let me know if this worked :D

Just had a similar issue. Menus unusable, 1fps or worse. Shared screen over discord and a friend could see my menus, no issues. Voice-controlled mouse to change in game resolution to native monitor resolution, problem solved.

worked for me, thx for sharing!

I was able to fix my problem by deleting my BattleField V folder in the cloud here \OneDrive\Documents\Battlefield V"
