EA APP PC - Failed to launch the game.

Bought the game last night and been seeing this message everytime im trying to launch the game. I press play, it opens up the FC 26 splash screen, then after a few seconds disappears and EA app opens up again with this message. Spent all day trying to find fixes and tried them all, however problem is still occuring. 

I have tried:

  • Repairing the game
  • Wiping EA cache files
  • Repairing them x64 and x86 files people are saying to do
  • Redownloading my nvidia graphic drivers
  • Repairing EA Anti cheat
  • Reinstalling the entire game again
  • Running the EA app and FC 26.exe as administator
  • Turning off overlays, e.g Steam discord
  • Smooth motion on nvidia app is also off

Even after trying all of these fixes, im still getting this message. 

My PC specs:

  • Ryzen 5 5500
  • Rtx 3080
  • 16gb DDR4 3600mhz

    After troubleshooting for an hour I figured out exactly what the issue is.  Turn off Smooth Motion in the Nvidia APP global settings and keep everything else as you normally have it for the global settings.  Smooth Motion is the culprit here.

    Incorrect. Smooth motion only seems to be a fix for people who arent getting the "failed to launch the game" message. Smooth motion does not fix this issue.
