FIFA 23: How to fix the anti-cheat error

Reinstall FIFA 23 anti-cheat

The EA anti-cheat system should first be uninstalled before being reinstalled. You can accomplish this by taking the actions listed below:

  • Go to this location on your computer: _Installer > EA AntiCheat in Steam Library > Steam Apps 
  • You'll find an EA Anti-Cheat file there; open it. 
  • Once finished, pick FIFA 23 and remove it. 
  • Restart your computer after reinstalling the anti-cheat software in the same spot.

Run Steam or Origin as an administrator

Make sure to run FIFA 23 as an administrator, whether you're running it on Origin or Steam. Simply right-click the application and choose "Run as administrator" to accomplish this.

Turn off background applications

Even though there is no surefire method to tell if a background program prevents the game from functioning properly, you should still turn it off while not in use. This includes programs like Spotify, Discord, and antivirus software. Try reinstalling the game to see if it fixes the issue. Reinstalling the game may be a headache for some, but it may fix any corrupted or missing game files.
