Community ManagerIt seems like the Webroot anti-virus software may be causing this.
Disable that software temporarily and check if you can then play, thanks.
Turning off Webroot does not resolve this issue... others with this issue have resolved it by uninstalling which is straight up unacceptable for a AAA title with as much * going wrong to now require me to remove a computer protection just to play.
THIS IS UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE !! ASK US TO MAKE OUR PC's VULNERABLE SO WE CAN PLAY A GAME.
CLEAN UP YOUR MESS, IT WORKED BEFORE TODAY !! YOU HAVE AN ANTI CHEAT THAT ONLY PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM PLAYING NOW !!
I got it to work by completely uninstalling webroot.
@Tomkicker157Congrats
This is ridiculous, EA is killing their game even more. I'm not uninstalling my security features to play your game. EA fix yourself.
Same here. Disabling it did absolutely nothing, adding to allow files did nothing. I really don't want to not have antivirus uninstalled. Worked completely fine prior to patch
I fought and kicked and screamed and fought and did everything. I read until my eyes bled and to no avail... Until i uninstalled Webroot. Instant gratification. I emailed them, told them their program blocks mine. It also would not allow my Firefox to launch.
I am back in the good hands of Bitdefender. and it feels good.
Thanks for the share. ;-]
Its not EA actually, as I thought the same thing, Webroot was clocking everything on my brand new comp. webroot is what the company that built my system uses. It is unfortunate that it blocks so much. /sadface
