Frequently Asked Questions – Battlefield V (v1.04)

Is Battlefield V completely free?

Yes. This pre-installed v1.04 package is offered as a free download at 47.6 GB. The original game is a paid DICE/EA title, so if you want to support the developers, purchasing it through official channels is the recommended route.

Does this version support multiplayer?

No. This is an offline version — the site admin confirmed in the discussion thread that multiplayer is not available. It's designed for single-player War Stories and offline sandbox play.

Why is bfv.exe missing after I extract the files?

This is almost always caused by antivirus or Windows Defender quarantining the executable during extraction. Add your target folder to your antivirus exclusion list, then re-extract the archive. Also make sure the download completed at the full 47.6 GB size.

The game closes immediately when I launch it — how do I fix it?

Several users reported this when running bfv.exe as administrator. Try launching it with a standard double-click from inside the game folder instead. Also install the packages in the Redist or _CommonRedist folder before your first launch.

What are the system requirements?

You'll need 64-bit Windows 10 or later, an AMD Ryzen 3 1300X or Intel Core i7 4790, 12 GB RAM, an NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB or AMD RX 580 8GB, DirectX 11, and 50 GB of free storage space.

Installation Guide

Step-by-step setup process

Game is pre-installed / portable, therefore you do not need to install the game.

Just extract the rar / zip file using 7-Zip or WinRAR.

Simply launch the game directly from the game executable as Administrator.

Important Notes

Install necessary apps from Redist or _CommonRedist to ensure game launches without problems.
Always extract game in Antivirus / Defender excluded folder to prevent false-positive file quarantine.
Always run the game as administrator.
