EA Link crashing and game not launching
Hi. I recently upgraded my rig to a Ryzen 5 2600X and a new motherboard, and ever since JFO has been refusing to launch when it would open fine previously. I purchased the game from Steam, and it wil...
Alright, well after some experimenting I got it working and the solution was so simple I feel kind of dumb having not done it earlier. I just had to set EALink.exe to run as administrator.
You can find it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\EALink.exe" (or wherever you have Origin itself installed, not the game on Steam). Right click, Properties, go to compatibility and check "Run this program as an administrator." Launch the game from Steam and click yes when it asks for permission to run EALink.
I can now play the game again and it runs like a charm now. Hope this can help anyone else who might have had this problem.
