Crashing on Startup

I had the same crashing problem and indeed AVG is the issue.

I just puchased and installed the game of the year edition.  Here is my report.

Please let me know if anything jumps out as being off.

I just solved the problem.  If you are using AMD video cards, it could be that the game is trying to launch using Mantle.  I found the solution on how to fix it here.

It is working great now.

Hi @Bittuldrago,

You have two cards : Intel(R) HD Graphics Family that is not meeting the minimum requirements and AMD Radeon HD 8670M. 

Make sure to try this solution or that the game doesn't launch with the Intel card instead of the AMD one.

Tried disabling AVG, that did it.  Thanks!

What worked for me was I made an exception for DAI in my anti virus instead of disabling it. Then ran it in window mode. Before it crashes to desktop I click on my desktop stopping it. I think this is due to the game trying to load too much at once. This way it has time to slow it's self down and load. It'll take longer to load doing this but for me it at least loads. Not sure if this will work for others but it does for me and I wanted to share.
If you don't have it in window mode yet, delete your save folder and load it, make it window mode, close game then go to recycling bin and restore your saves and give this a try.

Processor AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor, 4000 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s), NVIDIA GTX 1080 376.33 drivers no errors, just crashes to desktop, everything in this forum tried..Another quality EA game that doesnt run on 90% of the hardware out there.

Right now, the defective Geforce driver, # 376.33 has shot to the top of the problem list.  Get the Hot Fix driver, # 376.60, and choose the CLEAN Install option for it.

If you aren't allowing the AVG anti-virus to ruin your fun, the bad Geforce driver is certainly killing it!
