FC 24 game no longer starts! Although everything was working fine last night.

Until yesterday evening (02/20/2024 20:00 GMT) the game started and worked fine, I played without any problems for about 3 weeks. But the game intentionally froze in some menus, and I exited it via ...

Yay! I think I may have found the solution:

The game started to run after I turned on "Disable Full screen Optimization" in FC24.exe properties!

Although I had already tried to disable this "optimizations" in Windows Preferences before, and it didn't work.

Only one thing is frustrating: in order to solve this problem, it took me VERY MANY hours to complete the previous 14 attempts to solve the problem; to talk in EA chat with two different technical support consultants; to write messages here on the forum… And nobody told me that the problem with launching can be solved in a couple of seconds by enabling only one checkbox in the file properties!

  @Equinoxx1308, I have Ukrainian localization of Windows and I don't know how this menu item is called correctly in the English version.
  
  Just right-click on FC24.exe, then open file properties, then go to the 2nd tab (Compatibility), and there it is the next option after the 640x480 screen resolution.

    also had the similar issue with FC24 (EA App) and tried out all the mentioned solutions but nothing worked
    I went with the following approach
    
    1.disabled the antivirus
    2.disabled the firewalll
    After doing that, FC24 launched
    I allowed the file \EA Games\EA SPORTS FC 24\FC24.exe on the firewall and excluded it from the antivirus scan. Somehow the game is currently launching without any issues.
    Will continue tryiing it out and i hope this solved the issue.
