FIFA 13, still having issues

[bewarned]

Hi,

On my desktop PC, I have never been able to run FIFA 13 normally, it always fails to launch after the EA Logo screen. All the updates released have not changed a thing. The only way I can get it on is to change the FIFA.exe for the crack version, it then comes on but does not connect to game online properly. Just wondered if anyone else had any issues at all?

It runs fine on my 3XS laptop.

This could possibly be the DEP settings stopping it.

On Vista & 7 go into : Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings (Top Left)

Now Advanced Tab on the Window that opens and click settings by performance

On the next Window that opens click the Data Execution Prevention tab

In there add the exe files associated with Fifa 13 and then click apply then try running the game again.

Hi,

Thank you I will try that later.

Much appreciated!

Theres a few games that require the same thing to make them run.

Few others that come to mind are :

Divine Divinity (Videos wouldn't start) - Steam
Tomb Raider : Anniversay & Legend (Crashed to desktop after intros) - Steam
Populous 2 (Wouldn't save) - GOG

I have also added Dosbox to that for the GOG games that use it to make sure I have no issues in the future

Hi,

I tried it, but when I try to add fifa13.exe it says 'This program must run with DEP enabled. You cannot turn off DEP for this program.

Any other thoughts?

Try uninstalling the game and when it goes through the installation change the directory to a root, something like C:\Fifa13 for example.

When you install a game to the standard Program Files location it forces the UAC on the directory where DEP is enforced.

Okay, thanks.

I currently have it installed on my D:, but I still have it under Program Files there so maybe it still applies the rule. I will give it a go thanks.

You could also try disabling UAC if you haven't done so already.

Good idea, i'll give that a go. Dam game, it's normally my most played title but hardly played it for 10 mins with something going wrong. lol.
