How to Fix EA Sports FC 24 When It Won’t Install – Download Issues

by Fernando Diaz / Articles, EA Sports FC 24 / 02 Feb 2023

So, you just copped the latest EA FC, FC 24, but it’s not installing, huh? I feel you – it’s like you’re all pumped for some soccer action, but the universe has other plans. Major buzzkill, for real. But chill, I got your back. This guide’s gonna help you smash those installation issues & get you back on the pitch in no time.

Storage Check: First off, make sure your system’s got space. FC 24 needs a whole 100 GB, so take a peek at your storage settings. If you’re maxed out, time to ditch some of those old games or files gathering digital dust.

Internet Connection: If your net’s being all wonky, it might be throwing off your download vibes. Give your router a quick reboot, or, for the real deal, hook up an ethernet cable. Still no dice? Might be time to slide into your ISP’s DMs.

Stay Signed In: Here’s the deal: if you logged out or switched accounts mid-download, FC 24 might throw a fit. Double-check you’re on the right account, and you’re golden…

Server Issues? Chill: If EA’s servers are having a moment, you’ve just gotta ride it out. It happens, especially when there’s a new drop or a massive update, and everyone’s rushing to get it. Keep tabs on the server status here: https://help.ea.com/en/help-top-issues/?product=fc-24.

Refresh and Reboot: If your download’s done but FC 24’s still not playing nice, try pausing the download, giving your system a quick refresh, and then rebooting. Just power it down, unplug it, chill for a minute, then fire it back up. Works wonders for those pesky little glitches.

Account Check: Make sure you’re on the right EA account – you know, the one you used to cop the game. If you’re drawing a blank, no sweat, just log out and log back in, piece of cake…

Software Update? You Bet: If your PC or console is stuck in the stone age, that might be throwing a wrench in the works. Hit the restart button, hunt down any updates, and get everything current. Then, give that FC 24 install another whirl.

Check the Specs: If you’re a PC player, double-check your rig’s got the muscle for EA Sports FC 24. Scope out the game’s minimum and recommended system requirements and stack them up against your PC’s specs. Don’t get stuck with a game that’s too beefy for your machine…

Clear That Cache: Last up, clearing the EA app cache could be the magic bullet. Pop open the EA app, hit those three little lines in the far-left corner, scroll to Help, tap App Recovery, and then smack that Clear cache button.
