Game refuses to launch (steam)

Hey @LilaWaffle @Sjonny30 

Thanks for letting us know what your running into with Volume 7, if you haven't already can we try the following?

• Default your PC to the dedicated Graphics card: Troubleshooting Graphics issues 
• Try running the client and game as an admin
• 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  
• Restart your device in Clean Boot mode first then try again.

If this continues would it be possible to get a DxDiag file? 

Здравствуйте, у меня тоже не запускается игра! Вчера когда игра обновилась, игра работала) Позже было еще одно обновление!  Еще у меня обновились драйвера видео карты,  после этого игра перестала запускаться, может все дело в драйверах! Подскажите, что делать и как быть! За ранее спасибо.

Hello, the game won't start for me either! Yesterday when the game was updated, the game worked) Later there was another update! I also updated my video card drivers, after which the game stopped starting, maybe it’s all about the drivers! Tell me what to do and how to be! Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your response.

Sadly nothing of those are working, I let it sit for a day to try again, now its asking me for administration permission everytime I try to launch and then kills the process afterwards (Game already has the checkbox for administration permission checked in the properties)

OK, so here are two very odd workarounds that I just found out.

Workaround 1: Run EA app as admin even though it has admin rights. Then launch the game NOT from the Installed games tile button and NOT from the bigger "Play" button. Go to "Library" then launch from the tile button on the bottom right corner of the square card thing under "Installed".  See the attached "Untitled-0" image.

Workaround 2: Run EA app as admin even though it has admin rights. Then follow the process of preparing the game files and when you get the pop-up dialog box with the "Launch" and "Dismiss" options click on Launch instead of running it from somewhere else. See the attached "Untitled-1" image.

Check if this helps. Any other way to launch it still doesn't work.

Нет, ни каких ошибок, игру запускаю она делает вид, что грузиться но не загружается ... Идет загрузка, а потом просто сброс, как будто во время загрузки ее отключили! Из трех или пяти раз, она может зайти в игру после того как ты проверил игру в Стиме на целостность файлов! Как то так!

I even reinstalled the game just now but its doing the same thing.

When launched, it opens the EA app then asks for permission and then kills the process

I too have this issue.

I've tried clearing caches

Running as admins

SFC/Scannow to fix anything there

Using my phone as a hotspot for faster internet as I'm on a <5mbps broadband connection.

Reinstalling EA app and the game, which took DAYS as again, slow broadband connection

Using a .bat file to wipe caches and run the game from the .exe

preying to the gods of old

Sacrificing a cat

Restarting my PC before launching it

throwing my wallet at the PC

getting cross

It does run, but once every 10-30 attempts. Today it ran first time. I fired up the PC, hit play and went to make food. 20 minutes later I was looking at the Press A rain screen =)
