Game freezes on loading screen

[Piniorek]

Game freezes on black screen with FC25 and EA logo. Loading bar should appear there, but it doesn't. I think I tried everything but still can't play.

Can anyone help?

### Step-by-Step Guide to Fix the Issue

#### **1. Make Hidden Folders Visible**
- Open **File Explorer**.
- Go to the **View** tab at the top.
- Check the box for **Hidden Items** to make hidden folders visible.

Example path:
```
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local
```

- In this folder, locate the **EA SPORTS FC 25** folder and delete it.

#### **2. Close Conflicting Anti-Cheat Software**
- Ensure that any anti-cheat software, such as **Riot Vanguard**, is fully closed. These programs can interfere with the process.

#### **3. Navigate to the Game’s Installation Folder**
- Go to the drive where the game is installed.
- Locate the **Steam** folder, typically found here:
```
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common
```
- Find the **EA SPORTS FC 25\__Installer\EAAntiCheat** folder.

#### **4. Run the Anti-Cheat Installer**
- Open the folder and find the file named **EAAntiCheat.Installer**.
- Right-click on it and select **Run as Administrator**.

#### **5. Follow These Steps in the Installer**
- In the window that opens, select **FC 24** from the dropdown menu.
- Perform the following steps:
1. **Uninstall:** Click the uninstall button to remove the current anti-cheat.
2. **Install:** Reinstall the anti-cheat software.
3. **Update:** Update the software.

- Once you see the message **"Update success!"**, close the installer.

#### **6. Adjust Nvidia Settings (If Applicable)**
- Open the **Nvidia Control Panel** (if installed).
- Go to the settings for **EA SPORTS FC 25** and make the following adjustments:
- **Resolution:** Set it to **1280x960**.
- **Display Mode:** Select **Windowed Mode**.
- **Power Management Mode:** Set it to **Maximum Performance**.

#### **7. Launch the Game from Steam**
- Open **Steam** and launch the game.

---

#### **Important Note:**
- Ensure that all background applications, especially anti-cheat software like **Riot Vanguard**, are completely closed before starting this process.

These steps should resolve any issues you're facing with the game. Let me know if you need further assistance! 😊
