FC 25 Crashes mid game

Hi everyone,

After trying everything and almost losing hope with the constant crashes in FC 25 on PC (whether it’s a DirectX error or no error message at all), I finally found a simple solution that worked for me.

The fix is to disable startup programs, especially Windows Defender, which seems to conflict with EA's anti-cheat system (and other games like CS2).

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Open Task Manager.
2. Go to the Startup tab.
3. Disable everything, especially Windows Defender.
4. Restart your PC to ensure that the Windows Defender service is completely stopped.

Since doing this, the game has been running smoothly with no crashes. Don't forget to restart your PC after making these changes to apply them properly.

Hope this helps! Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

Still , one min into SB game to test out , game self closed smoothily without errors 

Thank you for posting tho.

After alot of going back and forth , so far one change is showing good results which ( HDR OFF ) from windows , although i have a RTX4090 with Samsung g7 144Hz screen but no thank you .

Try to switch your Windows HDR to off 

Have you sorted this issue yet, I have the same problem

you find anything? i've tried everthing i can think of or find

Ea this needs to be rectified asap.

This issue has been occurring since launch and I have exhausted all possible troubleshoot’s.

I have turned off all overclock settings in bios, turning off xmp and asus optimal. Removing msi afterburner even though my fans need to be programmed to run at certain speed to minimise overheating. I have disabled all start up apps in task manager. Gave maximum power source to the game, turning off eco power save. Running the game in Administrator & have deleted old versions of the EA app and done a fresh install. Nothing sorts this problem out.

All my graphic settings are either off or on low, w/ my refresh rate at 144hz n fps locked at 120, regardless if I lock it at 60,90 or uncap it, the game still closes w/ no error message displayed.

My system:

ryzen 7 2700x

RTX 2060 6GB

32gb 3200mhz Ram

650w psu

250gb M.2 ssd where fifa is installed

1TB hardive

My system is more than capable of managing this game and I face 0 issues w/ other games that I play and I run them on OC settings for better performance. 

I can vouch that every time that I play this game that it will crash for 0 reasoning & other than closing the game, it also has the ability to restart my PC - all in my time of gaming I have never experienced something so glitchy than this game.

You as a organisation need to rectify this issue asap, this is the first time I have purchased FC on my pc and if I knew it would be this badly optimised - I would have saved myself £70.

Do better.

Is your game on EA app?

Mine is on the EA application.

Played 3 champs game this weekend, 1 I played perfectly fine, the other the game closed before kick off and I got DNF and the other I was 3-0 up and it closed. So now I’m 1-2 because this game is absolutely terribly optimised. I give up.
