ERROR ON EA APP LAUNCHS

[Dangai İtsugo]

[SOLVED] Error on EA App Launch
After months searching for a solution for the launching problems that appeared after the mandatory migration from Origin to EA App, finally a conclusion.

I believe that this solve the 2 most common errors while trying to launch the game - "You don't have access" and "Error on our end". Without further ado:

1. Type "RegEdit" on your search bar (without the quotation marks, obviously);
2. Open "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE";
3. Open "SOFTWARE";
4. Locate and open the "EA Games" folder;
5. Open the Battlefield V folder;
6. At this point you should have some register entries on the right side, one of them is the "Install Dir", double click on it;
7. Now you just need to paste the path where your Battlefield V is installed, seems like the EA App is not able to map that directory for itself;
8. Close the Register Editor and it should do the trick.

That worked for me (forget the "downloading Apex" stuff or unlinking your EA account to Steam and linking a new one - I've done that and all I have now is an empty multiplayer progress, and I can only relink my original account in 6 months).

Let me know if this worked for you, found it on the EA discussions, can't remember the author of the solution, I'm just spreading the word.

I DID IT.
1. First if you don't have string value "Install Dir" create it (right click->new->string value->value name - (your path to install directory somewhere at C:\ or D:\)
2. Open EA app and log in. And follow this: EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
And that's all. Just run the game through Steam.

Read my post above.
Create with right click String value and name it Install Dir and put the path of your install location.

Do this: 2. Open EA app and log in. And follow this: EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)

Could you explain the first Step a bit better? I'm stupid so it might help.

8. Close the Register Editor and it should do the trick.

BUT, if you don't have Install Dir than you should do right click - new - string value - name it "Install Dir" and then open it by double click :) In "Value Data" add the location where the game is installed. Mine is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield V and then click OK that's it .

I have followed the prescribed method above carefully, as well as reinistalled my game twice and even my EA app twice and repeated these steps again but it still doesn't work :/ I wonder why this is? I am glad this method works for most of you but it really bums me out that it isn't working for me

Try this.

It fixed all my games in the EA App that would not launch. It also fixed it when all games were blacked out and could not see my library.
