1 day agoHey WhysoS4LTY — thanks for joining our forums.Here are a few things worth trying on PC if the game isn’t loading into a match:
- Disable overlays/background apps: Turn off overlays and anything that hooks into the game (Discord, GeForce Experience, Steam overlay, Xbox Game Bar, MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner, etc.).
- Reset graphics settings: Delete the game’s settings/config folder so it creates a new one on the next launch.
- Update (or roll back) drivers: Make sure Windows and your GPU drivers are fully up to date. If you updated recently, try rolling back to a previous stable version.
- Run as admin: Right-click the game .exe and select Run as Administrator. You can also try disabling Fullscreen Optimizations in the Compatibility settings.
- Add exclusions for the game and the EA app in your antivirus and firewall.
- Repair anti-cheat: Run the EA AntiCheat installer/repair, reboot your PC, and then try again.
- Reboot your router, try a wired connection, disable any VPN/proxy, flush DNS, and optionally test public DNS (1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8).

hey EA_Pulsar so the things you mentioned, the only thing that works intermittently is disabling MSI Afterburner overlay, very inconsistently though, why would an overlay displaying cpu/gpu usage and temps cause the game not to load though?
