Hi
Have an Acer 7750G-6645, this game used to work back before EA messed with it. Have not changed computers, DirectX not solving the issue the "Call" command manages to launch past the "unhandled exception" error to "disconnected from server" after putting in the correct name & password.
I can no longer update video drivers because I switched BIOS to unlock the dedicated video card features (AMD 7760), but processor is i5-2450m.
Leshcat's last drivers that allow manipulation of video cards is 14.4. If I mess with intel drivers it throws off the entire video card setup.
I will not mess up a well working PC just for 1 game that EA doesn't want us to play anymore.
How convenient for a ruthless corporation to dictate what you can do with your paid for software. "just go buy a new game you bum".
Thanks All.

As far as we've determined, the issue is due to Intel HD graphics cards drivers; it has nothing to do with EA. And it didn't "stop working because they messed with it" either; the game was simply never created to run on this hardware; it was created to run on the hardware that existed ten years ago. I'm fairly sure the original DVD release of the game would have exactly the same error. 🤨
There's a rather gigantic difference between "changing a game causing it to no longer work" and "no longer updating a game to make it work on the thousands of new hardware setups that are created on a daily basis". 😞
