"Failed to launch game"
I am now getting this error whenever I try to launch the game through Steam or through EA's ♥♥♥♥♥♥ launcher. How do I fix this?

Entiendo tu frustración y lamento que estés experimentando problemas con Battlefield 1. A pesar de que no has brindado demasiados detalles sobre el error que enfrentas, quiero compartir contigo una solución que me ayudó cuando tuve problemas similares. Dentro de la carpeta raíz donde está instalado Battlefield 1, a veces se genera un archivo llamado 'CryptBase.dll'. Te recomiendo buscarlo y eliminarlo. Después de hacerlo, el juego debería ejecutarse con normalidad.

Espero que esta solución te funcione. Si no es así, no dudes en darme más información para buscar otras alternativas.

It simply just won't start. The description for the error is "An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later"

The game worked fine previously, and just started happening yesterday. I have tried the following already to no avail:
- Reinstalling the game
- Verifying game files through Steam
- Running the EA app as admin
- Clearing the EA app cache

Im getting this as well, I read somewhere its due to the EA app itself, Im gonna be trying to find an installation of Origin and go from there.
Sorry, no luck on my end
Do you have Windhawk on your pc? If so, either disable it or add bf1 and anticheat to its exceptions and see if it works.
Negative I do not, never heard of it until now and no idea what its for

Day later I restarted my PC, and now the game launches. I have no idea if the problem just randomly fixed itself after the restart, but I did try reinstalling the anticheat before doing so.

Uninstall the EA app:
Start by uninstalling the EA app from your system.
Edit the Registry:
Open the Registry Editor (press Win + R, type regedit, and hit Enter).
Navigate to the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA Games
Delete the folder named Battlefield 1.
Verify Game Files on Steam:
Go to your Steam Library, locate Battlefield 1, right-click on it, and select Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.
Reinstall the EA app automatically:
Try to launch Battlefield 1 from Steam without reinstalling the EA app. The game will prompt you to install the EA app automatically and will create a new folder with the correct path.
Sadly didnt work. Uninstalled, deleted BF1 folder in Regedit, verified. Nothing

I have the same problem. Have never been able to play Battlefield 1.
I have the same problem,game instantly crashes seconds after I launch it

Can't play either. This is my 2nd game that stops running on my EA account.

So...

EA, please stop employing talentless hacks based on the color of their hair, and start hiring REAL SOFTWARE ENGINEERS to do things properly!

I am so pissed right now at this terrible, horrible, miserable company! :steamthumbsdown:
I will never buy EA games from now on. I got battlefield 1 and 2060 something but the BF1 is same issue with with me. Failed to launch the game. Its like we donated money to this guys for a game that doesnt work. I really feel like we got ripped off. Steam should ban this game now from being sold on steam coz it freaking sucks!
