EA Staff (Retired)Do you get an error message when you try to launch MELE or what is happening?
Also to check, do you own it via Steam, the EA app, or an EA Play subscription?
When you have a moment, we can try the following if we want to wait on trying a new Windows account.
- EA app - Repair your game via the EA App - Repair (Library > Tile Dots > Repair)
- Steam - Verify the game in via your Steam library
- EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
- Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
- Close other running applications on your device
- Run the System File Checker tool, then Check for Windows and GPU updates
- Repair or Install the VC++ files for your game (Guide here)
- Check Drivers, Default to High-Performance GPU: Troubleshooting Graphics issues
- Restart your device in Clean Boot mode first then try again.
Thanks!
I get the 'prepping game' loop, where I try to launch, and just says prepping game for a few minutes then stops
I have the steam version
- EA app - Repair your game via the EA App - Repair (Library > Tile Dots > Repair)
- Steam - Verify the game in via your Steam library
Game is for steam thus I do not see this option in the EA launcher I believe, but i have done so in steam.
- EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)
I have done this step a few times when trying.
- Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
- Close other running applications on your device
- Run the System File Checker tool, then Check for Windows and GPU updates
- Check Drivers, Default to High-Performance GPU: Troubleshooting Graphics issues
- Restart your device in Clean Boot mode first then try again. I have tried these together, clean boot was the last part support had helped with.
I have gone thru these as well with support, last step being clean boot before they sent me here.

I had not tried this step, however, all were currently existing.
Did try a few steps again but still no launch. The "launching game" pop up shows, then "prepping game", then they don't actually launch the game or launcher. I try running the ME launcher manually too but that will do the same thing.
I don't want to do a new windows account as if its something to clean on my PC I'd rather learn to do that than leave remnants.There are several possible workarounds posted in this thread.
If nothing in there helps create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
After trying most steps, Nvidia setting reboot, license move (which the folder is still empty if that means anything), only thing I hadn't been too sure on was the RealTek porition, I have RealTek but didn't see any Nahimic;
now loading the ME:LE Launcher tells me
"Origin is not installed, and is required to play your game. Please install Origin."
So I shall now try downpatching to Origin, but may try this when on an internet connection as opposed to my current hotspot.
