Epic Games Modding - A Techical Solution

[Nakaka]

I edited the thread, it should be easier to do now. If someone got it working before my edit, and the new method doesn't work, let me know!

If Battlefront doesn't launch and Origin pops up, try exiting Origin, exiting Epic Games, then relaunch Origin and Epic Games. Also end-task Battlefront 2 (it might be open in the background).

Similarly if anything is wrong about the [DATAPATH], or "ModData" folder doesn't exist, Origin will pop up and the game will not.

It doesn't work for me. But if it can help, i noticed that every time i create a ModData file with FMM an hidden file named "Update" is created and it seems that it doesn't exist and if i want to open it, it displays an "location not available" error.

This is normal, "Update" folder is a symbolic link

You may want to paste what you're entering into cmd.exe. Don't include [auth_password] or I'll steal your account

[Leodagean]

I am entering exactly this:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\EALink.exe" "link2ea://launchgame/MtMassive?AUTH_PASSWORD=0&AUTH_TYPE=exchangecode&epicusername=epicuserid=&epiclocale=en&theme=sws&platform=epic&Hotfix=go& -datapath %22D:\Origin Games\STAR WARS Battlefront II\ModData%22"

 

I tried to enter the auth_password i got with the first method, with the 0 and same with the epicusername. I hope i'm not dumb and there is an other reason the mods doesn't work. I think i will wait an official fix.

Does the game launch without the datapath portion? Try This:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\EALink.exe" "link2ea://launchgame/MtMassive?AUTH_PASSWORD=0&AUTH_TYPE=exchangecode&epicusername=&epicuserid=&epiclocale=en&theme=sws&platform=epic&Hotfix=go"

 

If it launches there might be something wrong with your mods/frosty

Some mods were messing up the game. It's working thank you so much !

Can't get the game running with .cmd files. Origin pops up, but the game doesn't start. Tried both strings from the hard and the easy solution.

 

Both works if I paste the exact same lines into CMD, so can't complain, great job!

I was able to get this to work. For anyone wondering when to press enter to find the Ealink do it right after origin opens up. At least that what worked for me

whenever i run the command, it says [0131/210635:WARNING:resource_bundle_qt.cpp(114)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale

[0131/210635:WARNING:resource_bundle_qt.cpp(114)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale

[0131/210635:WARNING:resource_bundle_qt.cpp(114)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale

in a debug file

hola

I was using this method at first, but then the game crashed when I was playing a multiplayer game, now the method does not work anymore, it says that the game starts but it does not start.
