Re: Black Screen Launching FC 25 PC

Hey everyone, I just resolved this issue a few minutes ago, and I thought it would be helpful to share my experience here. First off, the issue wasn’t related to my computer specs or any settings on my PC. I spent over 10 hours searching for solutions and trying various configurations, but nothing worked. Eventually, I had my friend log into my EA account on their computer, but they also couldn’t play, which confirmed for me that the problem was with my EA ID.

The way I fixed it was by remembering that I had logged into the game on my laptop before, and when loading the save, it gave me the option to choose between 'Local' or 'Cloud.' I selected the local save, which was from about two weeks ago. I’m not sure what data might have been rolled back, but I’m fairly confident that Ultimate Team (UT) doesn’t rely on save data from that selection, so my UT should be safe. After selecting the local save (as shown in the picture), the game launched normally, and the black screen issue disappeared.

P.S. I’m sure the whole problem was caused by a corrupted game save. For those who haven’t logged in from another computer, I’m unsure how you could trigger the Cloud Sync screen to appear.

If anyone has additional insights or alternative solutions, please share your knowledge with others facing the same issue as me. Hope everyone can fix this issue. Good luck!

    Can any support help with this, I have this same problem and I don't know how to get the option to choose between "Local" or "Cloud" save.

    When my PC abruptly restarted while the game was on, I cannot enter the game anymore, I get the same black screen. Also my EA app shows that I have 10 minutes playtime, which means the playtime reset on the EA app but stayed at 92 hours on the Steam app.

  • Ok I found the solution to my problem, it was to delete the settings profile after launching the game.

  • how did you delete the settings profile after launching the game, if the game has a black screen when it opens? pls help me

  • @AyrisX I thing that @Isabrat means to delete it by select ths "s" option when that game starts. I did it, it solved but only for the first time that the game loaded. When i tried to play nect day, the black screen appears again.
