If you're experiencing a black screen during the beginning or middle of a match — where the game becomes unresponsive but you can still hear the audio — try the following steps. This solution has proven effective in resolving the issue:
1. Delete Local AppData Folder
Remove the game’s local cache data:
Navigate to: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 25
Delete the entire EA SPORTS FC 25 folder.
💡 Tip: You can access the folder quickly by typing %localappdata% in the Windows search bar.
2. Adjust Executable Compatibility Settings
Go to your EA SPORTS FC 25 installation folder.
Right-click on the main game executable (e.g., EASPORTSFC25.exe) and choose Properties.
Under the Compatibility tab:
Check "Run this program in compatibility mode" and select Windows 8.
Check "Run this program as an administrator".
Click Apply, then OK.
3. Add Launch Option in EA App
Open the EA App.
Find EA SPORTS FC 25 in your library.
Click the three dots (…) > View Properties.
In the Advanced Launch Options, add the following command: -dx11
4. Set Graphics Preference to High Performance
Open Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics.
Click Browse and locate the game’s .exe file.
Once added, click on it and choose Options.
Select High Performance, then click Save.
After performing these steps, the black screen issue no longer occurred. The game ran smoothly and remained responsive throughout matches.
