EA Games Issues

grumpy_dog666 · Nov 21, 2008

Been outta games for a few months now, and just got the urge to play some good old sports. EA SPORTS!!!

but ever since getting my 4850, i can't seem to run ANY EA Sports Game. NHL, NBL, Cricket. They all fail to load and crash back to Windows before i even see the crummy EA video at the start.

now i know the Vid Card works, cause i can play World In Conflict no probs. Anybody got any suggestions?

Do the games have any patches available? What year are the games?

one is 07 the others are 08.

they work on my other computer which is a quad bore, just not on my dual.

I've heard rumors that ea games don't like multiple HID?

Have you tried launching them with just a mouse and keyboard attached?

grumpy_dog666 · Nov 22, 2008

yes......

but it was difficult as my keyboard and mouse are seperate, not a combo....

so running through two USB points.

grumpy_dog666 · Nov 23, 2008

tried that - lots of dead ends.......

grumpy_dog666 · Dec 6, 2008

update - just tried NFS Undercover.

FAIL

but CoD5 working fine.....

is this an ATi possible issue, have read alot of issues with Spore

hmm, for some reason, i cna't run FEAR as well on my ATI gpu. even after i downloaded the latest patch. i'm in the same situation with you. maybe it's something Driver related. like, it's always been a bug and has never been fixed or looked at. and OMG, you're melbourne based as well. (off topic) dyou get all your parts from Pccasegear?

grumpy_dog666 · Dec 6, 2008

used to - now they won't let me pickup.......

scorptec....now exclusivley

grumpy_dog666 · Dec 7, 2008

ok - so now i'm really ******ed!!!!!

a full reload of the computer and no change.......the only HW i have changed is the video card and a keyboard and mouse. nothing else.

and the games work on ALL other systems I own and games work on this one, just not EA Games.

CRAP!

LOL! yeh sorry i didn't get that either dfgfghbd. could you please explain? grumpy dog, are you running the latest ATi drivers?

TUK101 · Dec 16, 2008

Do you have the latest version of DX installed with the latest drivers. I have had that cause problems in the past.

grumpy_dog666 · Nov 21, 2009

OK - I'm sorry for digging this thread up afer OH SO LONG, but i've only just figured out the reason.

All EA Games were failing because of my overclock. Every other game worked fine, and worked well, except the EA Games.

ANNOYING!

An unstable or "unstable" OC has been the cause for many a game or app not running properly for ages now. Some games are more prone to this issue than others, some games just don't like to run with OCed hardware. Good to hear that you figured out the source of your problem.
