Fix for the error message “The Application Encountered an Unrecoverable Error”—FIFA 23

With the introduction of FIFA 23 yesterday, users have already discovered a lot of flaws and bugs which render the game unusable on PC. The message “Application Encountered An Unrecoverable Issue” is an example of this type of error.

The fact that players are unable to play the game normally as a result of this issue might be quite frustrating for them. If you are experiencing the same problem with your game, you may fix it by following the instructions below in the order given:

First Approach: Turn off any and all Overlays

The first step in correcting the problem is to ensure that any overlays on your computer are turned off. It’s possible that turning off overlays like Rivatuner, NVIDIA GeForce Overlay, Discord Overlay, Origin Overlay, and EA Overlay would solve the problem. Disable all the Overlays, launch the game, and it should function just fine.

If this solution didn’t cure the issue for you, then move to the next repair.

The second method is to uninstall EA Anti-Cheat and then reinstall it.

Some users have reported that removing and then reinstalling EA Anti-Cheat has resolved the issue for them and that they did not experience any problems before making this change. It’s possible that not everyone will have success with this approach, but it’s still worth a go. The method might be a little confusing, but you can accomplish it by following the instructions below:

1. To begin, launch EAAntiCheat by navigating to Steamlibrary > Steamapps > Common > FIFA 23 > _Installer > EAAntiCheat.
2. Next, launch the EA Anti-Cheat program by double-clicking on the associated file.
3. You should now see the window for the installation appear in front of you. To choose FIFA 23, use the arrow adjacent to the drop-down bar and select it with your left mouse button (Installed).
4. After that, select the Uninstall option, and then wait for the program to complete removing itself.
5. When you see the message “Uninstall Succeeded,” click the install button to reinstall it after you have already removed it.
6. When the installation is complete, you may then exit the window and play FIFA 23. The game ought to be functioning normally.

But regardless of whether or whether this solution resolves your issue, you should go on to the next one.

The third method is to play the game in administrator mode.

A number of gamers have reported that the problem may be resolved by starting the game in administrative mode. You are putting an end to the game client (Origin or EA). By right-clicking, you may exit either the Origin or EA application. After right-clicking on the application, select “Run as Administrator” from the menu, and the game ought to function correctly.

If, despite this, the game continues to malfunction and display the same problem, you should probably hold off until an official fix is released before continuing to play.
