If you're experiencing a black screen during the beginning or middle of a match — where the game becomes unresponsive but you can still hear the audio — try the following steps. This solution has proven effective in resolving the issue:
Remove the game’s local cache data:
- Navigate to: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 25
- Delete the entire EA SPORTS FC 25 folder.
💡 Tip: You can access the folder quickly by typing %localappdata% in the Windows search bar.
- Go to your EA SPORTS FC 25 installation folder.
- Right-click on the main game executable (e.g., EASPORTSFC25.exe) and choose Properties.
- Under the Compatibility tab:
- Check "Run this program in compatibility mode" and select Windows 8.
- Check "Run this program as an administrator".
- Click Apply, then OK.
- Open the EA App.
- Find EA SPORTS FC 25 in your library.
- Click the three dots (…) > View Properties.
- In the Advanced Launch Options, add the following command: -dx11
- Open Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics.
