Hey everyone. If you are still experiencing these issues, could you please confirm if you have all the latest Windows updates installed? You can check the Update History in the Windows Update tab to confirm the current version installed.
This error is mainly caused by two recent Windows Insider Preview updates ( KB5064075 and KB5064071). Uninstalling those updates resolves the problem for most players. You can check our main post for more information here.
Share your EA Error Reporter in case of any further issues and confirm your Windows version.
Let us know if you are launching the game registered on Steam or from the EA app directly.Thank you.
