0% Downloading
Direct X 12

-- READ FIRST SECTION / Begin :P --

RE-INSTALLS
Any time you do an uninstall and reinstall, reboot after the uninstall, before you start reinstall. Also, make sure to;
Move the "STAR WARS Battlefront II" folder from "C:\Users\UserName\Documents\STAR WARS Battlefront II", to the desktop (Uninstall, doesn't remove the folder).
Finally, run the repair tool, after new install completes.

Some people that installed the Trial versions (Not Early Access, but Trial Versions), will need to uninstall completely and reinstall from the now
preload/download link (make sure to remove folder listed above too, the uninstall doesn't remove it).
Additionally, FYi - This will reset your in-game settings.

at bottom)
1B.) Move the "STAR WARS Battlefront II" folder from "C:\Users\UserName\Documents\STAR WARS Battlefront II", to the desktop, restart computer and run repair
tool.
1C.) This fix was via Chat Support (It didn't help me, maybe it will help you
1.Completely log out and close down Origin
2.Hold down the Windows key and R

4.Now open the Origin folder.
5.Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for LocalContent (do not delete this one)

2.)Specifically Error 770 / 0% Downloading / *maybe crashing or not starting too

SOLUTIONS:
2A.) Try a clean boot - if that allows the game to launch, then it may be AV/Firewall software not allowing the game to start, and maybe also port forwarding
needs added.

*From the AV/Firewall software, remove the game, reboot and re-add the game/origin to whitelist.

*Connection, Port Forwarding, DNS Flush and Additional Troubleshooting Tips - listed in links at top of post.

2B.) Changing the power setting to high performance in the Windows power options (*I would verify the same settings for your vid card are set via it's control
panel too).

* 0% Downloading - Ongoing thread -https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Stuck-in-INGAME-download/m-p/6424509#M685

3.) DX12 - If applicable, disable, switch to lower DX version.
I am not currently aware of a link to a settings file if you haven't (or are unable to) launched the game yet, I would contact support chat, followed by ask in
forums.
