I just bought FIFA 18 on Origin. After installing the game does not launch and does not provide me with any error. I contacted EA Support and performed these steps.
Run application as administrator
Clean Reboot
Reinstall game
Reinstalled Origin
Reinstall graphics drivers
Windows Update
Disabled all startup programs
Disabled Firewalls and white listed the game on Windows Defender.
Ran system file checker.(sfc/scannow)
These steps were guided by EA's customer support.
I received an email later saying it is a KernelBase.dll error after submitting a 'msinfo' document to EA.
They told me to contact Windows Support as it was a 'major system file'
After approaching Windows Support, I performed these steps.
Windows In Place Upgrade
Advanced chkdsk repair
Still the problem persists. I have no clue what to do next.
While EA said it was a KernelBase.dll error. Error Reporting on my PC says it is a .NET Runtime 1026 error.
These are the errors I get when I try to launch the game:
