Stuck in validating Loop

[serenity192]

When i try to launch gets stuck in validating loop, have tried every solution i have found, uninstalling, reinstalling and clearing every cache i can find

[Sultryhag]

Do you have the EA app and account?. Computer specs?

[serenity192]

yes to both and my computer is well within specs. The EA app lauches but doesnt do anything

Same here. This game will not load whatsoever. Completely broken.

I just solved this issue. Quit the EA app and quit steam. Then run EA App as administrator. Then run Steam as administrator. In that order.

I'm now able to play the game.

Did you try my solution? I've got an M.2 for my OS, a secondary SSD for random games, and a primary 3tb hdd. I've installed this on my HDD. That said, it shouldn't make a difference if you try why I suggested.

I recommend ssd for the game if you was playing OG copy then hdd is good.
Two stuck if that kind of loop means something is blocking it.
I had that issue before and found out that something was blocking it.

I’m playing the Legendary Edition that’s currently on sale with Steam. HDD is working flawlessly. And there are no issues with long load times.

Yes, not allowing Steam and EA to run in administrative mode blocks the writing of a specific file that’s needed.

Nope never had that issue. No need to run it as admin really.
You really should rarely run as admin really.
It will tie it to Level 0.
Not safe to do.

I don't run steam or ea as admin.

Then you’ve never experienced the endless validation loop. Quit giving bad advice. Running admin privileges for specific instances is harmless. Especially in this case.

Yes I did and like I said if you bothered to read was something blocking it as in anti virus or what not. It's commonly known not to run stuff as admin cause it really not good to do but then again not my hardware so do what you want. Do you even know what Layer 0/Level 0.

So when you run an app as an administrator, it means you are giving the app special permissions to access restricted parts of your Windows 10 system that would otherwise be off-limits. This brings potential dangers, but it is also sometimes necessary for certain programs to work correctly.

But like I said most of the times it was something blocking it.

OP check if something is blocking it as windows defender or some anti virus.
It should be in the logs and also check windows event viewer sometimes that helps.

It’s NOT antivirus that’s stopping it! Good lord. A simple check of the Logs folder then content_log will tell you what’s being blocked from being written. This isn’t a anti virus problem, but a admin privilege problem.

Done arguing with you when you’re so obviously wrong.

Follow my advice Serenity if you want to play this game.

And you've now been permanently blocked. Can't stand folk like you. I have been PC gaming for 35+ years. Get over yourself.

Ok kinda funny that was my exact issue before so I am not here to fight.
Also if that was true all games would do that lmao.
Also everyone's pc is different so OP should follow both cause both is good advice.
My last comment to you will not reply back.
