Hi @PhoenixKdi @Smoskr

Can we try the following steps?

Repair/Verify your game based on which client you are launching from

Steam - Verify in your library

EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery)

Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance

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, then just try running the client and game

I have the same problem, I run the game via Steam, EA App shows up and that's it. It doesn't work... I'm disappointed because I wanted to get this title but I will have to return it.

I had the same issue today. I tried out a few changes. But in the end what worked for me was to remove (or in my case simply zip and rename) the folder "qmlcache" in the folder %localappdata%\Link2EA\cache. Afterwards i was able to start the game from steam.

In addition to that I added before hand manually the EADesktop.exe and the game .exe (like "<steamlibrary>\common\Excalibur\NeedForSpeedUnbound.exe") in the windows firewall as exception (both were not explicitly in my list beforehand)

    You have to be logged in the EA app. Open the EA app and see if you need to log in again. I was disconnected and couldn't launch the game, log in the app again and now it's starting without any problem

@danielmaxsteel this worked for me, but still why tf would anyone have to fix a game for it to properly work... but we all know EA.
