Your game failed to launch An error on our end caused your launch to fail

I could play Fifa 23 on origin, never on EA app. Now today origin forced me to install EA app.
There is just no way I can play fifa, I've tried everything I could find on the internet and at this point I have the feeling I'm the only one who can't launch Fifa 23.

I'm getting pretty frustrated, I paid way too much anyway on this game and now I can't even play it?!?!?

    I have found the solution -->

    C: / Program Files / Electronic Arts / EA Desktop / EA Desktop
    Once in there instead of launching the "EALauncher", right click on the "EADesktop" shortcut and in properties, in the accessibility page, tick the "always run as administrator" option, now run that program and the error should not appear again as long as you're using "EADesktop" instead of "EALauncher".

    After that I started the FIFA23 from the app, and its working.

  • @ElSpoocho Sami issue here, have been avoiding E play like the plague and now I forced to use it and I can't launch FIFA!

    Still having this issue... Tried all possible workarounds, but none of the 23 games in my library can be launched.

    i am having the same problem since the update.
    after the update, the game won't start - i changed nothing before.
    i tried uninstalling, repairing, reinstalling...every other fix out there (almost) and nothing yet.

  • @ElSpoocho It's January 26,2023.. I am currently combing the internet looking for a fix for this as well. Downloaded EA app and FIFA23 just fine. Worked until game update a week ago. Same error everytime, YOUR GAME FAILED TO LAUNCH "An error on our end caused your launch to fail. Try again a little later." It has nothing to do with the anticheat I've gone through every troubleshooting matrix online and still no fix. Ran .exe as admin, uninstalled and reinstalled fifa multiple times, uninstalled and reinstalled Ea app multiple times, still no fix. This is insane I payed for the ultimate edition as well. Very disappointing. Hope @EA reaches out soon.
  • I finally got it to work, had to remove "run as admin" on EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher and uninstall the anticheat, after that the game reinstalled the anticheat and it finally worked again.

    I also removed everything EA related on my C drive and reinstalled before that, not sure if that was necessary though.

  • @ElSpoocho Same problem since the game came out, with downloading origin bring the only workaround…. Now we’re stuck on the ea app 3 months later and they still haven’t fixed it. Unacceptable.
  • I cannot even download the AP as I have no internet connection at home so I cannot play games I have spent £100s on.
