Madden 25 Wont Launch?

[Cornholio]

Click to open it says preparing game, then launches but doesnt launch. Just bought a couple days ago and it makes zero sense.

this game is trash

Same thing is happening to me. It feels like their launcher is causing the problem. I've reinstalled the game, reset their launch, turned off all overlays and tried other stuff I've seen online and still can't get the game to launch correctly more than once every 20 or more tries.

So with me. Will just not launch. Pisses me off big time.

[Killer_Weighell]

Yeh same with me, not even an error message just say it's launching and then doesn't!

Won't launch for me either. It says game hasn't installed correctly. I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, tried a bunch of other fixes and just can't get it to work. Never had an issue playing any other game, I'm just about ready to refund it at this point.

Convoluted solution for me...

Game wouldn't finish updating. Uninstall and reinstall for failure. Thought I didn't upgrade my driver which I didn't but that also failed to update. Checked what was running in the background. UltraAV, the cyber protection service that replaced the banned Kaspersky thats been lingering on my computer. (It auto installed if you still had Kaspersky running on you computer in the background) Uninstalled both, restarted computer and was able to properly update my drivers.

Then finish patching Madden, still an error. Verify files on Steam and now it works. Not sure what fixed the problem but I did all these step before uninstalling UltraAV and Kaspersky. Reattempted them after and its working now.

You could also check if Kaspersky was the issue or UltraAV was the issue.

Just my experience, now to play Madden.

I noticed the game version is 1.0.0.0 and my friend on Xbox game version is 1.0.0.67 so the game wont let us play since the different versions. does anyone have verison 1.0.0.67 on pc or are you all 1.0.0.0 after todays update

Get a refund while you can

[ExoticBlooms]

[Sedate Me]

I have to launch it 2-3x before it actually launches. Incredible they haven't fixed this ♥♥♥♥ yet.

I've uninstalled/reinstalled Madden25 four times. Updated Steam. Verified integrity of game files. Default apps page doesn't resolve either. This game will not launch. All I get is the below error. What's the Reg Fix Steam Support?

""This file "link2ea://launchgame/2582560?platform=steam&theme=madden25" does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps settings page.""

FIX FOUND, for me at least. Verify Integrity of the game, then start the game and open the EA app. The EA app had to update for me, but launched Madden 25 once it was complete.

I had the same issues. When my game finally did launch, it crashed out before I could even get a game started.
