Disable Antivirus & Windows Firewall
While the Windows Firewall and Anti-virus programs keep you secure from malicious threats, they can interfere with the running game. So, we suggest disabling them temporarily. Now, launch FIFA 23 to check if any launching issues persist.
Update your Graphics Drivers
You can encounter launching issues if your installed graphics drivers are not updated. You need to make sure that your graphics drivers are installed to their latest version. For that, you can head over to the official websites of AMD and Nvidia to download the latest drivers. Once you have installed the updated drivers, launch FIFA 23 to check if the issues persist.
