The Game crashes when I try to start it

Apologies for the delayed reply - unfortunately running as Administrator makes no difference. I experience exactly the same outcome (i.e. it returns back to the EA Play app game window - and reports that 'Immortals Of Aveum' was 'last played' moments before - even though the game never actually started).

Additional context - I recently installed FC25 via EA Play and this opens as expected and runs without issue. It seems to be a specific issue relating to IoA and the EA App as other my EA Games open and play normally.

I am seeing multiple threads having the same problem, and indeed so am I.  SFC doesn't fix it, running as admin doesn't fix it, clearing the cache doesn't help, reinstalling it doesn't help.  I actually wonder, based on some of the other feedback, if this isn't somehow linked to Game Pass, since that's how I am running it and so is at least one other person having the same trouble.  Weirdly, this game also worked fine for ~8 hours before the issue started.

This is pretty ridiculous, though.  The game is entirely unusable.  Is there any way to get a useful log about what's happening during boot?  An argument I could add to the boot to get some information or - even better - to fix the problem?  I see nothing in event logs that seems related; as far as the computer is concerned, it thinks it's booting as intended.  I am happy to work on this, but posting the exact same steps to every post even though no one has had any luck with them is not helpful.

Oh, and just as an additional nugget of info: this looks an awful lot like the pinned Intel CPU issue, but I am working with an AMD Ryzen.

I gave up in the end, and frustratingly, uninstalled the game. I couldn't get it work at all, despite all my other EA Games (via Games Pass) working. Shame, but had no other choice. One day it may be fixed and my savegame will be safe in the Cloud until then.
