Battlefield V launch only with Origin
Hello. I'm having a little problem. Whenever I launch Battlefield V with a Steam, it pops for a moment that I actually play via Steam, but then it starts only with Origin (it's showingthe "play" button again, not the "stop" one). The game starts without any problem but I'm a weird person who like when in-game time rises. So it's pretty important to me for Steam to record my playtime.

Do you buy it from Steam or Origin?

It's a game that requires Origin to run, so it has to start the Origin process.

If you are playing it as a NON STEAM GAME, ie: bought it only on Origin and want to launch it through steam, but did NOT purchase it via steam, it will not really count anything nor will you get any steam achievements.

I purchased it on Steam. Actually I already have some achievements. I already played for 4.5h without this problem in the past but something happened that it launches only with Origin

are you on the correct account? Because ... unless you've hidden it from view somehow, it's not really visible on your recent or much played list.

When did you purchase it? When did this start happening?

I only have one Steam and Origin account so yeah, it is the right one. I bought it a month/month and a half ago. I haven't played for a few weeks, I came back to it 3 days ago and this started to happen.
What do you mean by hiding it from view?

Well. that's strange. I tried the same thing as yesterday and it worked this time. I launched it through the Origin first. Weird, because I was doing it yesterday and BF kept launching only with Origin.
