UFC 5 Keeps Crashing and is unable to boot up

Assuming PS5, try booting in Safe mode and choose Option 5, Rebuild Database:

If the issue continues, see if restoring licenses helps:

Thanks.

@8307c07d04f79951  Have you ever found a fix that works other than deleting and reinstalling the game?

I’ve contacted Sony and EA. Each one tells me to come to the other. No one wants to fix any of the issues. I’ve done everything y’all have said and PlayStation and nothing works. I spent $96 on the game and I can’t even play it. Nor will they get me a refund. How ridiculous I’m not supporting EA in anything anymore. 

If you do these steps it should let you play the game for a little while. Let me play the game for 2 days before the problem came back.

Go to settings and delete the game off of your console. Afterward delete your save data from the console. After that redownload the game. Once the game finishes up do not launch it but put the console into safe mode where you will rebuild data base. Afterwards it should work for a while. But it’ll mess up again so yeah 

@8307c07d04f79951 EA just put out an update a few hours back, Im not sure if it fixed the issue or not, I didnt check yet, I guess if it did fix, let me know, Im doubting it did though.

The update didn’t fix my issue. I guess they are more worried about adding characters

@8307c07d04f79951 Well i guess if you hear or figure anything out, just let me know, I have filed so many reports on it hoping something would finally fix it. I have heard completely resetting the PS5 could possibly fix issues like this but thats so ridiculous that I would have to factory reset my PS5 just to get this single broken game to work, not worth the hassle or time. If I knew what i knew now, i dont think i would have bought it honestly, Payed $100 for the early access and didnt even get to play early, still cant even play. Very upset with how this has been handled, has to be a game issue as I dont have this problem with any other games. I also think that theres some sort of Bug with the "download fighter update" pop up, it keeps popping up for me but when i hit download it just keeps saying it failed, then it wont let me play online or do the fighter challenges, i feel that it may be connected to the issue possibly, its weird because when the game first came out it wouldnt download the update and after deleting and reinstalling a handful of time, some of my play time it would download it fine, this game is just a mess right now and i dont see it being in a good state for another year or more atleast, kind of like it was with UFC 4.

So I believe I have found the issue with the game. The game works and boots up every time until I download the “fighter update” it fails and I believe it results in a corrupted file. Because everything I have redownloaded the game, it worked until I tried downloading the update 

@8307c07d04f79951 Thats what I was saying too, does your Fighter Update work or does it keep failing? Everytime I try to play online or do the challenges it pops the Fighter Update up and I hit download and then usually spins in the bottom right like its downloading it until it eventually fails, I have sat there and kept trying it over and over but I still get the same result everytime. I dont know why theres noone in EA helping us with this problem, I tagged the EA guy but he never responded so.. Guess we are out of luck until they decide they want to do something. Theres quite a few problems with the game but this is one of the worst.
