Game still not launching

I bought the Ultimate Edition of the game as a birthday present for my son before the September 19th launch, and he  still hasn't played a single minute!

 

We have tried everything in our imagination to launch the game by updating all possible drivers, running as an administrator, tried running on older DirectX-versions through Steam, closing all background tabs and so on and so forth.

 

There are two different outcomes when launching the game. The first one is a return to the EA launcher with the message displayed "Failed to launch game. An error on our end caused the launch to fail. Try again a little later". We must have tried later at least 50 times..

The second outcome is the PC blacks out, sometimes with no message, other times a scrambled, quite unreadable message saying something about DirectX. This leads to a restart of the PC.

Hopefully this will be fixed very soon, or we will have to refund the purchase and deteriorate our trust in EA as a company.

Platform: Steam

When and where it is crashing: After the screen saying "Compiling shader. Please wait until the process is done (loosely translated from Norwegian).

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics RX6400 4GB, 8GB RAM

    I've also got the same problem... so frustrating... 

     

  • All I can say is that you are not alone in having this issue, I’ve spent about 3 hours total troubleshooting my way out of that error message but still to no avail… there are only two things I haven’t tried because it’d be more worth to just refund the game entirely: either to create a new user account on the PC and installing from there, or a complete factory reset of the PC (neither of these are worth just for a single game, which is why I haven’t tried them yet)

  • The only way I have found to lauch FC26 is via the Xbox App on Windows but that means you have to start all again of FUT which is a shame

    Nope. And not a word from EA. Steam will not refund because it has been played 7 hours (every **bleep** one of them trying to start the game)

  • @ea @admin Anyone who can help a poor 13 year old who spent most of his summer earnings on this game and still have not played a single second?
