Game black screens when loading into rivals game

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:

1. Delete Local AppData Folder

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.

2. Adjust Executable Compatibility Settings

• 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.

3. Add Launch Option in EA App

• 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

4. Set Graphics Preference to High Performance

• Open Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics.
• Click Browse and locate the game’s .exe file.
• Once added, click on it and choose Options.
• Select High Performance, then click Save.

After performing these steps, the black screen issue no longer occurred. The game ran smoothly and remained responsive throughout matches.
