Re: Game won't launch
Hey, I might have a fix for this. My friend had the same issue recently. we both had the game working for ages and the sudden switch from Origin to EA caused both our games to break and stop launching. Whether you had one or the other installed, after re-installing, game not locating, or after installing EA manually, where it removed origin as part of it's installation.
I don't have enough datapoints to say this is a reliable 'solution' as such, but what I do know is it fixed both our games completely and allowed us to play again. We thought the game was going to be dead for ever but there are a lot of players active on Steam so we were determined to find a way.
Install Frosty Mod Manager. You can use mods or not, makes no difference.
Then install 'FrostyFix' from github /dyvinia.
run both these applications as administrator.
FrostyFix may ask you to download an additional file from Microsoft dotnet, download and install it.
Choose the appropriate options for your setup from Frostyfix and then launch the game via frosty mod manager.
This should get you up and running again. We are both using Windows 11 with the latest updates.
From what I can tell, there is some sort of issue of unknown origin that messes up the game's datapath and these modding tools work around that.
If this doesn't work for you DM me here or add me on EA 'CommandoJigga' and I'll try my best to help you out futher! I only joined EA answers to troubleshoot this game.
