- Go to the following address on your system: Steamlibrary>steamapps>common>FIFA 23>_Installer>EAAntiCheat
- Open the EA Anti-Cheat file you’ll come across there
- Once done, select FIFA 23 and uninstall it
- Reinstall the anti-cheat system from the same location and restart your system
Run Steam or Origin as an administrator
Whether you are using Origin or Steam to run FIFA 23, ensure you run the application as an administrator. To do this, simply right-click on the application and select the “Run as administrator” option.
Disable background applications
Although there is no guaranteed way to determine if a background application stops the game from running correctly, you should still disable those not in use. This includes applications such as Spotify, Discord, or antiviruses.
If the problem persists, try reinstalling the game. This might be a hassle for many, but reinstalling the game could take care of any corrupted/deleted files for the game.
