trouble launching FIFA 20

Is anyone else having trouble launching FIFA 20? I downloaded and tried to launch the game yesterday because Ultimate Team Revival was announced. For me, it only launches once every 30 attempts (honestly, that’s just a random guess). In other cases, the process appears in the Task Manager list but vanishes after a minute or two. I should add that the Event Viewer indicates the fifa20.exe crash is caused by error 0xC0000005. I also checked if the game launches on another, less powerful laptop(ryzen 5500u & Vega 7) at home, it does launch, though unfortunately, it's unplayable on that machine. My main PC's specs are: RX 7900 XTX, i9-14900KF, and 64 GB of RAM (3200 MT/s, CL13). Interestingly, many people recommend running the game as an administrator or in Windows 7/8 compatibility mode, but when I do that, not only does the game fail to launch, but the launcher itself won't start either.

    Hi YaBoiSchlieri​ 

    0xC0000005 is an access violation error. It tells us that fifa20.exe is crashing, but unfortunately it doesn't identify one specific cause by itself.

    A few things I’d try first:

    1. Remove the administrator/compatibility settings you tested.
      Right-click fifa20.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility and make sure Run this program as an administrator is unchecked. Since Windows 7/8 compatibility mode also makes the launcher fail for you, return that to the default setting as well.
    2. Repair FIFA 20 through the EA app, then clear the EA app cache through Help -> App Recovery > Clear cache.
    3. Update Windows and your AMD graphics driver, then try launching again. If you're using any manual CPU, GPU or RAM overclock/undervolt, temporarily test at default settings as well.
    4. Disable the EA in-game overlay temporarily and close other background applications/overlays before launching the game. A clean boot would also be worth testing if the behaviour stays the same.
    5. If it still crashes, run the Windows DISM and SFC system-file checks, restart the PC and test again.

    Since you already found the crash in Event Viewer, could you also open one of the fifa20.exe errors and post the Faulting module name shown there? Please also include your Windows version and current AMD driver version.

    czyszczenie cache zarówno EA APP jak i gry oraz reinstalacja, zarówno na ten sam, jak i na inny dysk również nie pomogła
