For the past month I have been unable to start my copy of EA FC 25 due to a Direct X error identified as 56603. I have a Nvidia 3080 Ti card and I use the EA App. I have no problems in any other game or launcher. Since the game was released, this issue has appeared in my PC but I found online solutions that solved it and I could play it intermittently. But this last month nothing I tried worked. Nothing changed in my set-up. Only Windows and Nvidia driver updates. The temperature of the PC was checked with various software and it is correct. I downgraded the Video Card drivers to versions where the game worked but the problem persists. I need to find a solution or I will be forced not to renew my EA Play subscription. Attached is the image of the issue.

As described in the error message: The video card has been physically removed from the system, or a driver upgrade for the video card has occured”.I would advise you to do the following: Uninstall your GPU driver completely. The best way to do this is to use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller). Perform a complete removal of the drivers. Download the latest drivers for the Nvidia card in advance. After restarting the PC, cleanly install the latest drivers and restart.Then test again to see if the error occurs.As a rule, Windows should include the DirectX drivers. Alternatively, you can also use the “DirectX End User Runtimes Web Installer” on the Microsoft website.

Well, I did what you suggested but it didn't work. It keeps giving the same issue. My PC temperature is between 40 and 50. It is still the only game that crashes. And I remind you that it worked fine before the last updates of the game.

Same,
Nothing to do with your GPU. Unfortunately its common in EA games in general and in all fifas and now EA FC... All other games I have no issue and in battlefield and FIFA its always the same problem.
To bad EA is literally the worst company in providing customer support for their products so dont aspect anything....

Hi,
Guys just so you know, this error has nothing to do with the games you play.
I play multiple games like Call of Duty BO6, Madden, EA FC and many more and I get this error with every game.
After the first time I just reboot the game and I can play for almost the rest of the day or evening.
I think this has something to do with the latest Windows 11 update, which messes with your GPU settings/drivers.
I have the Asus ROG Strix RTX 3090 OC 24 GB VRAM version and it is one of the best cards on the market and I still get them ever since I updated Windows 11.
I don't know if a new Windows installation helps, I'm just going to wait for more updates.
