    Hi there, 

    If the game is showing up in the task manager but is not launching, there might be an app or program conflicting with the game/EA app preventing the game from launching. 

    In this case I suggest that you try a clean boot as this will disable any other background programs that might be causing this issue: How to clean or safe boot your computer

    Please also make sure you're running the game and EA app as admin.


    Let us know how that goes,

    This helped resolve the issue of the game immediately closing, however now I stumble upon the issue of the game being completely black, and nothing happens.

      @twustmoose Apparently the game just wanted to be slow, after waiting for around 6 minutes the game started working, thanks for the help!
