I was having issues launching the game.

Sometimes, it would just boot up. Other times it would crash out complaining about it being corrupt, anti-cheat not working or anti-cheat needing admin permissions.

The fix that worked for me

I've since gone into the install folder of the game and made it so the program EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe requires admin permissions to launch by right clicking on it and going to compatibility and checking the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox.

Now, when I launch, it launches normally besides EA asking if I want to allow admin permissions for the game to launch before it launches.

I had this same problem with madden 24, I turned off the flow guard and it worked fine... haven't had that issue persist after restarting 25. You may just have a buns PC dude.....

This wouldn't work for me. It still complained about anti-cheat being corrupt and or needing admin permissions. Even if you launched Steam or even the EA app as admin, it still would fail out.

Only thing that worked for me was setting admin permissions on the anti-cheat executable which every once in a while will still say anti-cheat is corrupt but relaunching always works now a second time.
