@EA_Barry Hi Barry, I have similar issue since a few days ago where it won't go past the splash screen. Seeing other posts in this forum with the same issues. I have played daily since launch until last week.
I have tried all of the above, it made the game not start even quicker due to EA AC error with red bar on splash screen. Turned this back on in System Configuration, rebooted and am back to original error even with clean boot.
Steam verified and installed missing files multiple times.
Reinstalled whole game and EAAC but nothing is working.
No mods made to game.
These two items are showing up in EV each time I try to start the game.
Any ideas?
