Re: Failed to launch error

The game was working fine for me when I got up today and installed the emergency hotfix patch (March 18th 2026) so I played a bit, took a break, and then tried to boot up the game and I got the “failed to launch” message saying something went wrong on their end. It shouldn’t be my mods bc I didn’t add any new ones during my break so I don’t know what’s happening! Uninstalling and reinstalling the game didn’t work. I tried closing the EA app through task manager, then clearing the app cache, then repairing the game, THEN trying to play the game and it didn’t work.  I just don’t understand how sometimes it’ll boot up and other times it won’t without me making changes to my mods. I am in desperate need for some help please!
