Loader closes instantly on the EA app but works fine through Steam
Closed thread Closed by archiveTwo installs on this PC because I share it, don't ask. Steam copy runs the loader no problem at all. EA app copy, loader opens, sits for about two seconds, closes. No error, no message, nothing in the log.
Admin rights already on. Antivirus exclusions already done, did those before I even installed. Is the EA app doing something the Steam version isn't? Same build as on the FC 27 cheat page—troubleshooting after an update is the next read if overlay fixes fail.

Replies are closedEA app has its own overlay and it fights everything. turn it off in the EA app settings, it's under the in game overlay bit
yeah overlay's the usual suspect there. also check the EA app isn't running as a background helper before you launch, it likes to reopen itself
"because I share it, don't ask" and then doesn't get asked. respect
steam works because steam's overlay behaves. EA app is genuinely one of the worst launchers going, this isn't a cheat problem
if turning the overlay off doesn't sort it, run the preflight check in the loader before you launch anything. if a security setting has drifted it'll tell you there instead of just closing. DMA-side stacks are on the Cloud DMA page if you're on that build.
@5 there's a preflight? never noticed one
it's in the loader before you hit launch, small button. runs through secure boot, tpm, hvci, core isolation. takes ten seconds
didn't know that either and I've had this a month, my own fault for clicking straight past it
for what it's worth EA app has been fine for me for two weeks straight. might be your install rather than the app generally
@9 could be, but I'm not reinstalling a 60gb game to test a theory. overlay first, preflight second, if neither works it's a ticket
^ that's the right order. put the preflight result in the ticket if you end up opening one, saves a day of them asking
