THAT DID IT!
I installed the k-lite codec pack 11.9.0, and now the game seems to work just fine!
btw, be careful when installing the codec pack, if you don't decline on two of the installer-pages, it'll install some toolbar-stuff no one wants
Is this your first time starting up the game or have you successfully started it before?
This is the furthest I get, the first time, or 8th time I try. So no, never gotten to start it properly.
I know your issue is different from the ones where the game is crashing but it might be worth updating/removing the K-Lite Codec Pack if you have that.
Maybe just different symptoms of the same issue ?
Yeah, me too :D
Tomorrow should be more people around to help figure this out.
It seems that the K-Lite codec pack is already installed on my pc. when i tried to install it, it told me so
Can you uninstall it ? It might be the source of the issue.
ok, i read your post AND the installer wrong. i only downloaded an update pack, and it denied installation, not because i already have it installed, but because it's an update pack, and i do not (!) have it installed. i'll try installing it now

Installing the k-lite codec pack worked for me as well. Now it launches and no dots at all and just shows an EA logo and go's to the game.
Thanks for figuring this out.
I don't know if this might have been part of the issue, but when it installed, it said it found an error, or left over in the registry from another codec. For me it was the Windows 10 store audible app.
That is great to hear.
Enjoy your Demo.
