On August 11, Microsoft issued an update to users in the Windows Insider program. This OS-level change is causing some EA games to fail to launch on PC for some users.
Many games that use anti-cheat (at EA and beyond) require a valid certificate to verify the system environment. The update that was sent to Windows Insider users created a problem in which EA Javelin Anti-Cheat is unable to validate that secure system environment required to deliver game entitlements, preventing some games from launching as a security precaution. EA Javelin Anti-Cheat is functioning as intended to protect your gaming experience, but certain users experiencing this problem will be unable to launch certain games with that update.
If you are unable to launch a game and are part of the Microsoft Insider program, please update to the latest version here. If you do not know if you are part of the program, please check this FAQ.
