Re: [CLOSED] How to Fix "Your Game Failed to Launch" Error in EA app?

I managed to get my game working after constantly getting dx error and failure to launch for the last 4 days... for me, I right clicked the desktop shortcut for EA app. From there at the bottom there is a button for open file location(for me it took me to C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop\EA Desktop. right click the eadesktop.exe app for the launcher and go to the compatibility tab. Half way down should be run as admin box . Make sure thats clicked. Do the same process for the game shortcut itself( my game was installed on d drive). I cant say for sure that this will work for you as well but i hope that if at least one person gets the games running from this, then im more then happy i was able to help. 

*NOTE*

Things I did try included but had no success

Unistalling app and game at least 10 times in different orders and attempting repairs. 

Windows update was up to date

Ran hard drive tests to make sure it wasnt drive failure

Used Commant prompt "sfc /scannow" to check for windows corruption

DDU my gpu driver twice in safe mode with no network

Leaving pc alone for a few days in hopes maybe ea pushed update(*PFFT  better luck winning lottery)

Smashed head into desk from exasperation

Swearing profusely at the screen

Swearing profusely at the pc tower

Swearing profusely at the ea for being useless in having any clue whats goin on

Consulted with the spirits via ouija board. Received message stating it has no helpful info

Spoke to voodoo witch who tossed bones and she said " gods say dunno your f*cked mate"

Hope this helps at least someone, and prevents growing dents in forhead from shear anger and frustration
