I am trying to launch the game, it worked once for some reason.

Half of the time my game instantly crashes when launching, when it doesn't crash it freezes my pc in a black screen. I have tried launching the game through different launchers, I have tried verifying my game files on steam, it says "3 files failed to validate and will be reacquired".

This is what my content_log.txt said on steam.

I tried manually reinstalling, updating and repairing the anticheat to no success. Could it be a conflict with another anticheat perhaps? Been waiting 15 years for this game, would be nice to be able to play it!

//fan since launch of the original ea skate :)

Ideas

Game crashes or freezes pc at launch
