EA’s Fifa series needs no introduction, it’s been a mascot for football games for years now. Their latest instalment and probably the last in the franchise is the Fifa 23. This is the 30th game from the franchise, and this might most likely be the last one because the partnership between Fifa and EA has ended. See all good things must come to an end, but they do restart, meaning although this will be the last game with Fifa in its title from EA, EA will still be producing football games, likely to be named EA Sports FC.
Fifa 23 will be featuring new gameplay features, hypermotion 2 technology, career mode, matchday experience, pro football clubs, volta football and the crowd favourite Fifa ultimate team. EA’s Fifa series has always been boasting about its unrivalled authenticity, this time is no different, with 19,000+ players, 700+ teams, 100+ stadiums, and 30+ leagues. The hypermotion 2 technology is a next-gen technology that makes Fifa 23 much closer to reality. Fifa 23 also supports cross-play, meaning players from different platforms can play with or against each other.
Fifa 23 is developed by Electronic Arts and also published by the same Electronic Arts. Fifa 23 is available on Xbox Series X and Series S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and Microsoft Windows, though most of the advanced next-gen features will only be present on PlayStation 5, Xbox series X/S and PC, oh yes Stadia too it seems. Fifa 23 can be purchased from Steam, Epic games and Origin for PC, moreover, it can also be installed if you have an EA pass subscription.
Being a new launch, just as it happens with every other game, Fifa 23 is also bound to have several errors, glitches, performance issues, crashes, etc. But you don’t have to worry, we’re here for you, we’ll tell you exactly how to eliminate each and every problem you might be facing with Fifa 23.
But just before we begin, to prevent these kinds of problems, we strongly recommend you keep your system up to date. This means having the latest available drivers for your graphic card. Manufacturers optimize your specific GPU for the latest games and push out the drivers regularly, that’s why they’re so important.

Fix 1 Fifa 23 not starting:
This often happens when the game is not installed properly. To fix this issue:
- Try Closing and Re-opening the game. You can also try restarting your PC.
- Make sure the download has been finished completely before trying to start the game.
- Verify whether the game has been installed perfectly. Sometimes missing game files can cause the game not to open. To verify this, Repair the game from the launcher you’ve bought the game from(like Steam, Epic, etc).
- Check whether there’s enough space on the drive or disk on which you’re trying to install the game.
- If none of the above fixes worked for you, try re-installing the game completely as a last resort.
Fix 2 Fifa 23 not installing:
This error might happen when there’s not enough space left to install the rest of the game files in the drive you are trying to install. Either make more room or install the game on a different drive or disk. It is also recommended to have at least 2GB of free space left on the drive (in most cases it’s the C drive) because that’s where the game creates temporary files that are required to install or run the game. Might also occur due to a bad internet connection. Verify this possibility and troubleshoot the issue.
Fix 3 Fifa 23 crashing to desktop:
This issue might occur when your PC doesn’t have enough resources to run the game. Make sure your PC meets the minimum requirements asked by the game. You can also try reducing the visual fidelity of the game, like decreasing the resolution, lowering the anti-aliasing factor, lowering shadow detail, etc. Also check if the game needs an update, if there’s any pending update, do it and try playing the game then.
Fix 4 Fifa 23 low FPS, stutter, frame drops & more:
Solving performance issues can be quite lengthy, So I’ll just quickly mention some easy ways to make the game run better.
- Install the latest drivers available for your specific graphics card. I have given the links above.
- End tasks and unnecessary programs running in the background. You can do so from the Windows Task Manager(Ctrl+Shift+Esc).
- Lower the anti-aliasing in-game. If it doesn’t help much and you are desperate to play the game, turn it off completely, it might look choppy, but you can at least play the game. Also lower the other settings which might not bother you much by doing so, like shadows, crowd quality, lighting, etc.
- You try using an up-scaling technology like Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR if the game supports it as well as your GPU.
Fix 5 Fifa 23 black screen issue:
A black screen issue can occur when your GPU can’t handle the game. Sometimes might also happen due to the CPU not being able to handle the game. So it is important to meet the minimum requirements of the game. It might also be a simple glitch, try restarting the game. There is a chance that this issue might be happening due to overheating of the GPU/CPU or any other components. Verify this possibility and keep the temperatures in check.
Fix 6 Fifa 23 save files corrupt/not working:
The fix for this issue is the same as the above one, the one that is right above this one. The save files usually are kept in the documents folder of your PC, which is located in the C drive. Make sure you have enough space left there.
Fix 7 Fifa 23 audio issues:
If you are facing audio lag, no sound, audio distortion, etc issues here are some steps you can try to fix it:
- Check whether Game Audio is turned off by default. You can check it by heading into the game’s settings menu. Turn it on and set the volume as you please if it is turned off.
- Try running the game as an administrator. You can do it by right-clicking the game icon and selecting “run as administrator”.
- Try connecting a different audio output source. Like, try using earphones, different speakers, or Bluetooth audio devices.
- If you’re using an external sound card, you can try updating them to the latest available driver version.
Fix 8 Fifa 23 controls not working:
If in-game controls are not working or not working as they are supposed to, you can try re-assigning the keys to your preference. If all the control mapping is already somehow messed up, you can try setting them back to default.
Try using a different input device, if you are using a keyboard and mouse try connecting a controller and vice versa. Sometimes connecting simultaneous input devices can also cause this issue, so try disconnecting all the other input devices and only connect the specific controller you need to play the game.
Also, some games support only a few specific controllers like native Xbox controllers, DualShock 4, DualShock 5, Steam Controller, etc. So only use the controllers supported by the game.
