I have the same origin version, the newest nvidia driver and still nothing done clean boot as well.
Try to repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click "A Way Out" > Repair)
If that don't works, please create a DxDiag in text file format, also go to your Reliability monitor (Press the windows key and "R" at the same time and copy or type "perfmon /rel" (without the quotes) in > ENTER and look if it has "A Way Out" entries.
If yes double click at the last one, copy it to the clipboard, (Bottom left corner) save it to a text file and load it up together with the DxDiag.
You can do that with the "Browse" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
I have done repairing, the reliability monitor has no entries with a way out. And also i tried my friend's version (he has friend pass version), and it works on my computer with no problems. But if he tries to start my version he gets an origin error, that too many computers tried launching this game, but if i log back into my account it shows me nothing.
The error at your friend machine occurs probably because he has the "Friends" version on his machine.
There is a newer GPU driver available.
Install the driver > reboot > test.
Disable "Origin in Game" > test.
Disconnect one monitor > reboot > test.
If all that don't works, preform a clean boot and test the game afterwards.
Having the same problem. uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, origin up to date, not getting a process for it.
I'm having the same issue here.
UAC Disabled
Overlay Disabled
Firewall Disabled
Whitelisted Programs
Ran as Admin
Uninstalled and Reinstalled
Cleared Cache
Updated all Drivers
Tried Stable and Beta version of Origin
And still all I get play button greys out for a few seconds then game doesn't launch.
Hi, now it works. I don't know why but i think its because i uninstalled all display drivers with DDU and only installed the display drivers from october 17 for my GPU through windows update. Its not the latest driver but after that it works now. Maybe there is a bug in the new nvidia drivers?
Hope i can help you!
- This is the biggest joke of a thread ever lol.. gotta spend hours just to OPEN the game with 0 statements from EA besides sending you to their useless troubleshooting page.
Exactly the same for me - I could start it up yesterday, today I can't. Tried everything in this thread and other solutions given, no luck ☹️
I have the same question -black screen, only sound.
