The same thing is happening to me and a lot of others on the forums I see, I launched Battlefield V from steam and the link2ea app pops up then closes and I get the something went wrong on our end message and if I try and launch the exe file as administrator it says I dont own the title . I played it for almost 15 hours and suddenly when I was forced to install the EA app my EA games on steam wont launch
If I click play on my battlefield 5 in steam it will not launch it will just open my EA launcher and say there was an error on our side please try again later and then it will proceed to cancel my process of opening the game and it makes me repeat this process and it just never opens never had this problem with origin just the EA launcher which is awful
I just bought BF4 on steam and I already have it installed on my computer on an origin account. Is it possible to make steam recognize my already installed game or to copy it into the steam library and recognize it, so that I won't have to redownload the whole 64 gigs of the game?
I posted this question here after trying several times and failing and this is how. I initiated the install in steam, it started downloading. A folder was created for BF4 in my steam library like this:D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Battlefield 4. Then I exit the steam and copied my installed files in the above folder. And then I reopened the steam and it started downloading the game where it did leave it before exiting, from 10 MBs.
I did the above step a couple of times and failed each time in letting steam recognize my game files, then I thought that steam doesn't actually download the games into their folders directly but it downloads them to a separate folder as this: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\downloading, so third time I copied my installed game files in this folder instead and yet it was same result, no recognition of game files by steam.
The developments in artillery and propulsion led to another key innovation: the ironclad. Realizing how tremendously vulnerable wooden ships were to destruction by long range, explosive cannon fire, naval architects began to dramatically improve ships' defenses by plating them with iron or steel. This casing made shells bounce off the ship, allowing ironclads to survive repeated direct hits. Ironclads were extremely heavy, so powerful steam engines took the place of sails, which were weaker and vulnerable to enemy fire.
"Would never in a million years have thought a battlefield game made by a huge studio could ever be this bad," opined another. "It's just unplayable. The rubber band the desync is just insane. UNPLAYABLE! I hope they will fix this ASAP! for now, it's not worth buying...Sadly..."
