As you can see, the issue hasn’t been resolved just yet even if there is a workaround for it. Chances are, we might see a PC client patch released just to fix this. Once we know more about it, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
If you manage to fix it or find another workaround, leave a comment below and let us know.
Reinstall the latest Visuals C++ version then it works
PC-installation download and installation of the Season 6 update worked just fine for me, but unfortunately the game won’t start anymore.
You, me and thousands of angry fans are in the same boat. EA is the worst.
