happened to me last night even though i’ve been playing normally every night for the past week. i think your game likely initialized on the stale Javelin and now your process is hung up on some sort of cache. the EA team didn’t know what the cause was.
I tried to diagnose and fix for hours with AI but to no avail. Claude told me to wait 24 hours to try again.
tried again tonight (24 hours after initial crash) and it worked. only thing different in the game files from last night to tonight is a different Javelin initialization code; almost as if my account was rolled back to a different EA server.
try again tomorrow night.
