Does anyone know what it means and how to fixt it?

Ty in advance

  • meikeroos0105  Are you getting this same error or a different one?  If it's different, please post a screenshot of it.

    Either way, please also provide a dxdiag.  Click Windows key-R, enter dxdiag in the run box, wait for the scan to finish, click "Save all information," and save the file to your desktop.  From there, you can attach it to a reply using the paper clip (Attachment) icon included with the other formatting buttons.

    meikeroos0105  Where is your game installed?  You can see in the EA App under View properties.  And what antivirus do you use?
