@t05oce2mawuc,

So you're also getting this from the EA app itself? That's peculiar. Can you try clearing the EA app cache in case there are old files in there preventing you from launching the game?

It seems that A Way Out isn't quite able to grab a hold of the EA app to launch. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling the EA app and then launching A Way Out through Steam.

Hey @t05oce2mawuc,

Is that the message you get when you try to launch A Way Out? Are you launching it from the Steam launcher directly, or via something else, and are you receiving any other errors?

If you could provide a bit more information, I'll do my best to help! Standard smile

I have tried to uninstall the ea app and install it through steam when launching the game but it still doesn't work. I will try to clean the cache when i get home.

My buddy is not able to.  Clearing cache did nothing. Any suggestions? This is the only game giving him issues
