Community ManagerGreat to hear that you got it fixed @RedbeardDNignog, for any older title it is best to run those exes from the install folder as a lot of newer DirectX installers lose parts that older games need.

I am having the same issue. I am getting this in my log:
[0x00002424]:11-02-2022 18:45:14,631| XMLDatabase::Read -- File open failed on '.\Data\Misc\APFINFO.xml'
EA Support has given up and will not continue via chat or email, they do not know why their installer is broken and refuses to help.
The Misc folder is missing entirely. I have done the following:
1. Ran CCleaner
2. Reinstalled game (several times)
3. Repaired game (several times)
4. Ran pc with all non-microsoft services disabled, then reinstalled EA App, reinstalled game, repaired game
5. Searched the web for answers
6. Gave EA app admin permissions before install
7. Gave all the launcher.exe's admin permissions
8. Attempted to run in Win XP/Win 8 compatibility
9. Cleared cache of EA App and reinstalled everything again
10. Attempted to run just the .exe's
11. Installed the game on another machine
After all of this, neither game from the launcher will work, on either machine. The launcher itself will open. It ALWAYS SAYS THE SAME THING, the XML directory is missing.
