I can't get my steam install to play. It will load menu, then crash once I try to actually play a race. Tried repairing, reinstalling. Waste of time.

I know it's been a while, however is the issue fixed in the meantime?
If not, have you tried changing the way the game is launched?
Sometimes, booting the game in Windowed mode directly might help, as it doesn't overwork the computer (requiring less resources to start). I see some of you are trying to boot it from EA Desktop, Origin and Steam. I will leave the steps below, under the spoiler:
⤷ Origin / EA Desktop (Steps to be performed outside the client):
- Right-click on the game desktop shortcut.
- Select Properties.
- In the Properties window, open the Shortcut tab.
- You should see a field called Target. The target field contains the original location of the shortcut with other parameters.
- Add the following parameter to the end of the target after the quotation mark:
–windowed - Click Apply and OK to save the changes.
- Launch the game using the desktop shortcut and it should open in the windowed mode.
and
⤷ Steam (to be performed within the Steam client):
- Open Steam if not already running.
- Open the Game Library tab.
- Right-click on your game and select Properties.
- Open the General tab.
- Click on the Set Launch Options button.
- It will open a new window with advanced user warning.
- Enter the following parameters to open the game in windowed mode.
- –windowed
- Click OK to save the changes and close the Properties window.
- Try launching the game and check if the game launches in windowed mode.
- If not, open the Launch Options window again and type the following parameters:
- –windowed -w 1024
- Click OK to save the changes.
- The above parameter will force the game to launch in windowed mode with a set resolution.
As long as the game boots with these settings, you will be able to change them in-game afterwards ^^.
Don't forget to let us know how it went xD
Wishing you good luck 🤞 and a nice rest of the week!

I do not work for EA. I am just a player helping other players.

My problem is I can get in the game, adjust video settings however I want, queue into a lobby, and as soon as the lobby is supposed to start, it crashes. It can't seem to load a race. Nothing posted fixes that.
