    incase someone comes upon this thread, go into Properties of your Game in the EA-App and add -NOSPLASHPRELOAD
    Idk what it does i have it from a Steamfix for this game and it also works in the EA-App. I can start the game finally now.

I am a win11 pro user

I too had this issue and none of the suggestions worked. I then noticed in the taskbar another window was running for EA App. I was able to open it by clicking on it and it was the "provide permissions" I clicked yes and the game launched.

The window does not make itself apparent and should not be coded to be minimized or behind the EA app window. This is obviously poorly written code on behalf of the developer.

The window needs to be apparent and set to be "on top" and or just automatically go into the game.

    Thank you, I never thought to look on the taskbar!! I used to play this on my old Windows 10 pc but the permissions window always popped up. I half guessed that it was a amin permission thing. Thank God you have sharp eyes!!! Definitely solved my problem, thank you once again!!
