EA Sports FC 25 won’t launch – “Error on our side” message

Hi everyone,

I’m having a serious issue launching EA Sports FC 25 on PC (Steam version).
Every time I try to start the game, it opens in windowed mode, stays on a black screen for a few seconds, then closes automatically. After that, EA App shows a message saying there was an error on their side.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

Cleared EA App cache
Reinstalled both EA App and the game
Verified game files on Steam
Created and linked a new EA account to my Steam account
Checked drivers and Windows updates

Nothing worked — the game still won’t start and keeps showing the same “error on our side” message.
Could someone from EA please help me reset the link between my Steam and EA account or check this issue on your end?
It looks like a problem server-side rather than on my PC.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

System info:
Windows 11
Intel Core i5-6300HQ
12 GB RAM
GPU GTX 950M

    I recently started having this same issue on Asus ROG Ally. It worked a couple of weeks ago, now I get the same black screen and then the error message saying it couldn't open due to problem on EA side.

  • The problem isn't yours; EA Sports isn't paying attention to these issues because they haven't achieved the sales figures they want on PC. The game hasn't worked on PC for a week, and it hasn't been fixed. This problem has occurred before, and it's persisted for weeks. The FC series on PC is a disaster. The game has never run smoothly, and now it's completely lost again. Even though the system was sufficient, we had to configure it enough to become computer and coding experts throughout the year. Now, releasing FC 26 and rendering FC 25 inoperable on PC is truly outrageous.
