Me too, tried on both Origin and EA app still won't launch. Disabled the background app that might interrupt the game and do some work around, almost a month trying but nothing happens. Tried play the original (cracked) once its working smooth as ever

@6pack, I can't just uninstall the game as I paid so much for it and it dose work steam needs to address this as it's what they are advertising

[ChaosKat]

@din,I have also done this aswell but still having the problem of it not working and it's a waste of money buying the game

@ChaosKat You can issue a refund, you'll get your money back in 24 hours.

Go to steam library, click the game you want to refund, press Support -> Technical problem -> game wont start -> id like to get refund -> tell what has happened in text and send it, then at exactly after 24 hours the money will be in your steam wallet and you can then buy another game that works.

@ChaosKat
Every time when ive had overwhelmingly trivial issues with games, ive got my money back in full. Every single time.

Not all games work in every systems, every pc differs from another in some way, and not everything is fixable or worth to spend time on to fix.

If you would like to give technical support a chance, you can contact them via the same route i told where to get the refund.

[ChaosKat]

@6pack technical support has said they can't do any refund as it's more the 7 days I have had the game.

Literally the ONLY way to get the game working, proof of the lack of care the game was given in patch work for PC.

Aaaaannnndd, endless crashing when loading the new game I just made, the instant I dare to simply go into the menu once it loads.

Yep, this is absolute broken trash and you have to fix it yourself, shameful.

Seems the issue is daring to try to use an XBOX CONTROLLER, since the game BLOCKS your mouse from being mapped to the camera, I DARED to use one, HOW DARE I..

Sigh, this game should be paying me for the trouble, because the fix is, to NOT launch the game with the controller on, and AFTER it launches, to THEN turn your controller on, so it won't CRASH.. Jesus.

I had the same problem with the game, it just failed to start altogether. Turns out all I had to do was disable the overlay in the garbage EA launcher and it works fine.

Game starts and when it want to connetct to the server it crashes

Also make sure AfterBurner and Riva Tuner are not running, this game does not like those.
