It just opens and closes the EA App

Hey, I'm having some serious issues with the game.

I just purchased the gam from Steam and it doesn't start at all. and I did try the PcDx12 file fix. Nothing works.

It just acts like it is starting and it lunches the EA app and then does it again X5, then it says there is problem, or I have to force stop it

My PC is better than than the recommended specs.

  • I found out the problem was on Anti-LAg on amd driver 24.6.1. Try disabling on adrenalin amd/games, nfs unbound - anti-lag Off,  If you have amd gpu.

  • I know this is incredibly late but just for future reference and for anyone who found this forum post and has the same issue:

    The thing that fixed it for me was, I went to EA's website and downloaded the EA App installer again and then instead of install I hit repair and then followed the instructions on screen. That fixed it for me.

    yo u could try running cmd as administrator and then type in SFC /SCANNOW and when i did that i found out that there were corrupted files in my system so it repaired it and i restarted my pc and i could finally see the game running. this is the link btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x92vvt_ucg. I hope this info has helped your situation!

    Hi,

    Don't know if the issue is related or not but my KAV set nfs unbound to Low Restricted in the Firewall and caused it to not boot from Steam.

    Before discovering this i tried:

    1. cleaning EA cache

    2. steam verify integrity of files

    3. updating video card driver

    4. running diagnostics check from command prompt /sfc /scannow

    TLDR

    if you have an antivirus make sure your firewall or app restrictions isn't blocking it

    Cheers,

    Pete

  • 10/31/2024 - They still haven't fixed their God awful app. Just don't buy their games, it's less stressful, you keep your sanity, you keep your money, it's profit. Anyways, going back to find bypasses, wish me luck.

    What fixed it for me was clearing the EA app's cache and launching NFS Heat through the EA app instead of Steam.
