Possible fix for the "Crash on startup" bug.
(I say possible because as far as I know at this time it only works for me, this is why I am posting it to see if others can fix this way)
So, I have heard a lot about this bug where users are unable to play this game for quite a long period of time, or only in odd moments due to a crash where you would open origin then click the orange play button. After this happens the game would start to launch for about 5 seconds then close with no crash reports or anything. It was as if the user had simply closed the game.
Well, after a long period of trial and error, I was unable to find anyone's fixes I have seen posted on here of any help to me. Perhaps it is because I am not a very technical informed person. Heck I don't know what half of the stuff in Task Manager is showing me. But, aside that I found something that has been working for me for about 2 weeks, that is 2 weeks since this post has been made. It is not techy in nature, and extremely easy, only requires of you to do 3 simple steps. So, lets get into how it works:
- Open Origin, if already open then ok.
- Do NOT click the orange button to launch the game
- Instead, go to the game library, then right click the game. Select this play button that appears in the top of the side-bar-pop-up-whatever menu(idk what its actually called)
- Game should be launching correctly now!
Other Notes on this fix:
- If you have already pressed the orange button, log out, close origin then reopen and log back into it. Then, do the steps above.
This works for me, and has been for a good while. I hope it works for you. If it doesn't then... I guess you didn't have to go through some long process at least right?
Best of luck to you trying this!
