FIFA 13 Demo (PC) Download:

You need Origin to download the PC demo!

Fixes for FIFA 13 PC Demo Bugs
  • If you experience lag use D3DOverrider and enable/force tripple buffering and vsync on FIFA 13 exe. Also enable/force antialiasing on AMD Vision Engine Control Center (AMD/ATI) or Nvidia Control Panel (nVidia).
  • For those with the Direct X crash issue please update your Direct X! Go here to find out how.
  • If your controller has problems with the demo please download these Xbox360 controller files and put them in your main FIFA 13 Demo folder.
  • For the keyboard users that have difficulties with the keyboard setup for the demo go in My Documents -> FIFA 12 and copy the file “buttonDATAsetup.ini” and paste it in the FIFA 13 folder from My Documents and FIFA 13 Demo folder.
  • If you have this problem, turn off the Anti-aliasing and V-Sync from your graphic card Control Panel OR set Anti-alising mode to application-controlled.
  • If you get the “APPCRASH” error select the fifaconfig.exe and FIFA 13 Demo.exe go to their Properties > Compatibility and select Win XP SP3 as compatibility mode.
  • Try the next solution if the demo crashes before launching: Open C:/My Documents / FIFA 13 Demo / instance0, select “replay0.bin”, right-click, Properties/ Check read only. Thanks to FGB for the tip!
  • If the game crashes before you start a match, go and update your graphic card drivers! nVidiaAMD/ATI
  • If the demo crashes at the language page you need to re-install Windows Media Player! Tutorial here. The intro can’t run without WMP, so the demo crashes.
  • Temporary fix for corners/penalties/freekicks crash: When you get a freekick or a corner, after the referee blows the whistle, press ESCAPE (ESC), then go to SETTINGS -> CONTROLLER -> and set it from KEYBOARD —-> to KEYBOARD+MOUSE, then resume the game, take the corner or the freekick with the mouse and then go back to settings and set back to KEYBOARD and continue playing with your settings! Thanks to cla13b for the solution!
  • For those with heavy stuttering/lag:
    From the fifaconfig.exe disable MSAA Options and Vsync and thick “Disable Windows Aero Theme”.For rendering quality is up to you how to set it but remember that an old PC would never run FIFA on High! Now follow the next steps:
    Nvidia:
    Go to your graphic card control panel (right-click on desktop), go to Manage 3D Settings,Program Settings and add the FIFA 13 demo exe and set these settings for it. (At Texture Filtering – Quality put High Performance)

ATI: Get RadeonPro make a profile with the FIFA 13 Demo,select it,click on Profile > Visual and add these settings: Anti-Aliasing = Application Controlled, Anti-Aliasing Filter = Multisampling, Anti-Aliasing Mode = Multi Sample, Anisotropic Filtering = Application Controlled. From the Advance and Tweak tabs turn OFF Vsync & Tripple Buffering.

Note that these are only standard settings and will not fix your problem 100% because everyone has different specs. You can change and tweak the settings yourself until you reach an optimal configuration for your game and the lag and stuttering will stop. Also don’t forget to use the D3DOverrider!

  • A fix for corners/penalties/freekicks crash is available here!
  • Another optional fix for the corners/penalties/freekicks crash can be found here.
  • If you still get the crash before you start a match after you updated your graphic gards drivers try to ALT + Tab before you click play match,return to the game and enter the match.
  • Another fix for the start up crash is to download msvcp100.dll & msvcr100.dll and place them inside “FIFA 13 Demo\Game” directory(where fifa13_demo.exe is there). Thanks to blade for the fix!

    Damien:


    hunter:

    hey i got some problems with the game. whenever i click on the play button, the game starts, but sometimes freezes when messi is shown. when it actually get throught the messi screen, the game closes itself and nothing happens. any tipps?

    Try the skip intro patch from the post.

    doesnt work. it keeps freezing on the first messi picture where the little thing with origin overlay comes. i have a gt 650m

  2. For all you guys thinking the end product will be like this demo then you are wrong. This demo is just a taste of the game and doesnt mean the full game will be exactly like it. I just hope the keyboard settings can be altered in the full game like in 12.

  3. I hope it should be better and that keyboard setting will be than before if not then it is not point for me to buy this game…

  4. I have tried all the solutions but the game still crash when i have to take a corner, freekick or penalty?

    Have any of you still the same problem?

  5. Water f#ck ea , this demo is shit , when i get a free kick or corner my game crashes.

  6. i have de Germany store and Fifa 13 is not on store……

    How can we solve the crash problem when the beat kicks or corners.

    There is no solution for the moment. http://forum.ea.com/uk/posts/list/1919446.page

    Check your internet connection. Restart your router.

    Go in the FIFA 13 Demo main folder and click on the uninstall.exe.


    Rajarshi:

    Lagging on 4 gb RAM & ATI 5770 HD. But it shouldn’t. Whats wrong ? I’ve applied the vsync & triple buffering. NO SOLUTION :(

    Will try later to make a complete list of fixes for the lag.

  9. Hi there,

    I encounter an issue. When i try to download Fifa 13 demo from store.origin.com the link appears to be broken or something like that. I have tryied with IExplorer and Google Chrome, I have deleted the cookies and the cache memorym but still nothing. This is the message I receive:

    Ooops! Google Chrome nu s-a putut conecta la store.origin.com
    Sugestii:
    Accesaţi origin.­com
    Încercaţi să încărcaţi din nou: store.­origin.­com/­store/­ea/­en_US/­home/­ThemeID.­718200/­ccRef.­en_GB

  10. I open Fifa 13 demo and it show e0001 error
    I found on google that i have to change grapphic to medium or high but when i do it fifa is slow and it has so much lag…HELP!!!

  11. invalidargument=value of ‘0’ is not valid for ‘index’.

    What is this? Can you help me please?!

  12. please can we get a direct download cos the Origin is slow and a mess for me

  13. please can i get a direct download because when i log in at origin i cant go online and therefore cannot download it

  14. Game works fine for me, the only issue is the keyboard controls. Awaiting a fix, so we can play with traditional keys

  15. hello everyone! i’ve got a trick to skip the crash when you take a corner or a free kick… when you enter the game, normaly set your own button configuration and then start the match, when you’ve got the free kick or the corner, after the referee blows the whistle, press the ESCAPE, then go to SETTINGS -> CONTROLLER -> and set it from KEYBOARD —-> to KEYBOARD+MOUSE, then resume the game, take the corner or the free kick with the mouse and then go back to settings and set back to KEYBOARD and continue playing with your settings! I think it’s a little bit anoying but also i think it’s better then getting the crash! 😉

    I had the same problem and I managed to solve it. Here is what you have to do:
    1. Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
    2. Open with Notepad the file named “hosts”
    3. Delete any address that contains “origin”. (e.g. “127.0.0.1 store.origin.com”)
    It seams that this thing is blocking you to access the Origin store.

    You need Origin to download it. A direct link won’t do anything.

  18. when i click play it say that fifa 13 demo has stopped working. I downloaded the game in D:/Downloads, not in the C disk, because i only have 800 MB free space.
    Can you help me?

    my pc components are:
    processore: AMD Athlon II X2 240
    graphics card: Nvidia GeForce EN9500 GT
    ram memory: 1 GB
    windows 7 x64 bit

    Probably because you downloaded it into Downloads instead of the C drive. Delete some stuff off your C drive and install it again. That might fix it.

  20. If I want to update my ATI card driver do I need to have the latest net.framework?

  21. my fifa13 crushes everytime i try to change controls!
    even if i change the mouse-keyboard to keyboard only.
    has anyone found a fix for this??
    plz heeeeelp

  22. I have found a great solution on how to play on keyboard, and it won’t crash when you use the arrows:
    1. Go to EAS FC MATCH DAY.
    2. Press KICK OFF.
    3. Select the Teams.
    4. Press Controller.
    5. At Control Device, select Keyboard Only.
    6. After that, go to Attack (next section) and change the Preset from Classic to Alternate. That’s it, if you select this, you will be able to play with the arrows, without crashing. You can change the keys if you want to play like in FIFA 07 or FIFA 12.
    7. Click Esc and Select Temporary Configuration.
    8. Click Play Match and Play the game.

    P.S.: Sorry for my bad English, I am Romanian.

    There is no option for that in the demo.

    No fix for that. You need to set your controller everytime you start the demo unfortunately.
