EA Games keep crashing sometimes with no error messages and sometimes with random DXGI errors like device_hung or invalid_call and "application has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware". I've had these crashing issues only while playing , Battlefield 1, Fifa 21, NFS Heat and Battlefront 2. I can play heavy games like Red Dead 2 without any problems or crashes on Steam. I've tried repairing-reinstalling the games, updating my drivers, updating Windows, updating DirectX, playing on lower graphics etc..

Please help so i can play these games without them crashing every 3 minutes.

I have

RTX 2060

32GB RAM

Ryzen 2600x

All non-OC'ed

  • This is happening to me also, I'm on a fresh installation of Win11, everything's updated. ANY EA game crashes after I run it. It's pretty sad this is from 2021, and it still exists!

  • High end PC here can't run 1 EA game sucks too cause I do enjoy the NFS franchise.

    -Gigabyte RTX 4090

    -32 GB Corsair 6400 DDR5

    -E-ATX Z790 AORUS XTREME

    -13900K Intel i9

    I've ran in in a custom startup with bare bones and anything EA related still crashed. There is no way this is from a lack of system resources.

  • FIX FOUND!!!! (at least for me)

    After a few weeks of trying to fix this, I finally found something that worked. I was having the same issue as everyone here where games from EA App would crash constantly with no error message and this fixed it for all games I have tried so far (i've tried 3).Here are the steps:

    1. Go to game that you want to play in EA App

    2. Click Manage, then View Properties, then Browse

    3. Find the Anti Cheat application (mine is titled "EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher")

    4. Right click on that file, then click Properties

    5. Go to Compatibility section (on the top)

    6. Click "Run this program as administrator" and click Apply

    Now your game should (hopefully) run normally if you had the same issue as me.

  • I am not sure if I am adding to the thread correctly, but I am also having this issue. Every game from steam runs just fine as long as it is not made by EA. I have done multiple complete computer resets and reinstalled windows with no luck. I feel like EA does not care about the quality of their launcher or they would have fixed this issue a long time ago. I have not been able to play 2042, BF4, Apex, or Battlefront II. I am at a loss. Thanks for any help.
