Same error for me with Battlefield 1. Tried verifying files, go to Menu -> Help -> App recovery and reboot.
//Edit: solution for me here: Failed to launch game - error on our end | EA Forums - 12494514
Do you own the game or are you trying to play it as part of ea play?
I recently bought the game so I own it and I’ve never been able to launch it.
I've also been struggling with EA app the past 4 days. Problems started after BF6 Open Beta, then i was unable to launch BF2042 after that. I went thru 6 EA support technicians, and nothing works to fix this. Now it only says Failed to launch the game. And for all other older EA games i get this message: "Game license is invalid, the app couldn't read the game's license file, so we suggest relaunching the game in online mode. If the problem continues, try clearing your cache."
Everything has been cleared, reinstalled, clean reboot, nothing works. Support tells me to just wait another 3-5 days, and maybe it will work again.
I own it on Steam, which redirects me to the EA app and still gives the same failed error.
//edit: Tried uninstalling and installing just now. But that also didn't fix it.
//edit: Solution for me: close RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS). Be 100% sure it isn't running any more by checking the process list for RTSS.exe. Or set "Application Detection level" to "none" in RTSS for bf1.exe. Months ago it worked fine together, now not any more. 🤷
Thanks this fixed it for me.. unsure what's happened as I was only playing FC25 / SKATE last couple of days with RTSS enabled.
(windows did update today with 2025-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5065426) (26100.6584)
which is none of the stated above.
[Problem solved]
After communicating directly with the user, the problem was solved by following these steps :
- Disable EA Overlay
- Disable AMD Anti-lag
Have great game NickelNaH !😄
Thanks this also works disabling Anti lag while keeping RTSS on AGAIN WTAF have EA done? :) this was working perfectly fine yesterday
so RTSS - Enabled = Need anti Lag off
RTSS - Disabled = Anti Lag works
typical EA - is this another EA Anti CHEAT issue?.
