A "failure to Launch" fix

[StickWillett]

Ok guys I tried this fix idea to get our EA games, especially BF V to start launching again and IT WORKS! I Googled our problem and wahlah some guy has a YOUTUBE how to fix this video for this issue. I followed it step for step. First he has you try and create a new start icon that makes sure you "run this program as an administrator". He has you delete the old start icon ...but for me this wasn't enuf to get it to work so then he said to then just uninstall your "EA app" program from your PC and then reload on a new "EA app" from the "EA.com" website. It loads in and then prompts you to restart your PC which I did and then go into your new EA app file and right click on the application file and open your properties and see if your "run as administrator" is now checked on. If so, go ahead and close this file and click on your new EA app icon on your desktop and fire it up. If not, click the box to allow it, and apply it and exit it. It should work now and no more "failure to launch" blocks! I noticed when I checked to see if I had "run as administrator" checked it already was for my the new app program I just loaded so I didn't have to check that box. So obviously, a few weeks ago when I started getting this "failure to launch" block in the EA app I must of had some update somewhere on my PC (probably a STEAM update) that corrupted my original EA app.
Good luck guys and get back to playing...just don't be one of those many cheaters that have been spoiling our online fair playing!
