Tips & Fixes for FIFA 15 PC

– Be sure to check out the FIFA 15 PC specs before running the game!

– Check and update your graphic card drivers: nVidia – AMD/ATI.

– If you experience lag use D3DOverrider and enable/force tripple buffering and vsync on FIFA 15 exe.

– Update your Direct X version if you encounter a crash related to it! Go here to find out how.

– If you controller buttons don’t work properly try to download these Xbox360 controller files and put them in your main FIFA 15 folder.

– For those with .NET Framework error please install the latest edition of it for Win 7 or 8 from here.

– Your graphic card must support Dirext X 11 in order to run the game!

– To fix the FIFA 15 EA logo lag disable Origin in-game (Right-click on FIFA 15 in Origin library> Properties > Disable Origin In-Game)

– If you get the following message while installing the game, “VC++ runtime redistributable package was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue.”, go to Origin Games\FIFA 15\__Installer\vc\vc2012Update3\redist and run the vcredist_x64.exe. You can return to your Origin library and install the demo.

– If you still have the .Net Framework error try to install this Repair Tool for it and run it!

– If the game crashes at the language page you need to re-install or activate Windows Media Player! Tutorial here. The intro can’t run without WMP, so the game crashes.

– FIFA 15 is currently unable to support special characters (such as àéñõü). If your PC name (or your Windows username) contains at least one of these characters, it will cause FIFA 15 to crash. We suggest you to rename your PC name or your Windows user name by following these two solutions.

– Still can’t start the game? Go to Documents and create the FIFA 15 folder and add these 2 files in it. You can tweak your own settings in the fifasetup.ini! Another solution is to create a Documents folder in your /C disk and target the files there. (Go to original documents folder, right-click, properties, target and select the new documents folder which you created in disk /C ).

– If your graphic card is weak for the game to start, download and run dxcpl.exe (go to start menu and type “dxcpl.exe”), go to Edit List…, add the fifa15.exe and fifaconfig.exe and click ok, set 11_0 at Feature Level Limit and tick Force WARP, click apply and ok. Note that the game will run very very slow!

– Make profiles for the demo on both nVidia and ATI graphic cards! For nVidia go to your graphic card control panel (right-click on desktop), go to Manage 3D Settings,Program Settings and add the FIFA 15 exe. For ATI download RadeonPro and make a profile with the FIFA 15 demo. If you experience heavy lag you can tweak settings on both profiles until you reach an optimal configuration for the demo to run smooth!

– If you get the 0xc000007b error download and copy these dll files in your Windows\System32 folder.

– If you have two graphic cards in your computer and the game won’t start please follow the next steps: 1) Run your graphic card control panel and add/make profiles for fifaconfig.exe and fifa15.exe! 2) Run regedit (Click on Start Menu and type regedit in the search box), now change value from 1 to 0 in these two keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows\RequireSignedAppInit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows\RequireSignedAppInit

– If your players and gk run to stay in midfield during gameplay is because your PC name has four characters or less! Please rename your PC using more than five characters.
