So in 2019 still the same nonsense. Downloaded the game now that it's free. My drivers are all up to date, and it's literally impossible that my pc shouldn't be able to play multiple instances of this game. Simultaneously even. WTH?

Did you try all the suggestions here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/PLEASE-READ-Unrecognized-Video-Card/m-p/7600612#M13596...

 

Is windowed mode working for you ?

@lizzie1217_panda Your card is a bit below specs but you should be able to run it on low settings.

Does it run in windowed mode ?
