Squadrons Won't Launch (EA Desktop)

I downloaded Squadrons on the EA Desktop launcher through GamePass and it never boots. The Easy AntiCheat screen shows up then it just goes away and the game doesn't launch. I tried to see if I could verify the game's files through Origin (since that's a missing feature from EA Desktop) and the game didn't even show up in my library. I've tried launching the game through the Xbox app on my PC as well as opening the .exe file in my file manager and I'd still have the same issue.

    Hey, @Xenos_XN can you try a clean boot to see if any programs are messing with Squadrons and turn off any overlay programs, such as Discord or Nvidia experience.

     

    Can you add a Dxdiag so we can see what hardware and drivers you have? 

     

    Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂

    Opening OneDrive worked for me.

    I don't let OneDrive open at startup.

    Al I did was searched one drive on my desktop and opened the desktop file then minimized it and saw one drive icon in low right where wireless signal is.

    Why this works idk

    not saying this is a solution, but i was having the same issue with easy anticheat loading then game dropping, so i made another windows user and that fixed, now, i noticed on the new user, the one drive was active whereas on the previous user it was not.  Upon reloaded one drive to the user that had the problem the game worked fine.  Just a heads up if you have one drive disabled for whatever reason this might be the issue.

    Best of luck
