My FIFA 24 Was Not Loading & This is What I Did [7 Fixes]

1. Repair Your Internet Connection

Repairing your internet connection can be a crucial step in addressing the “FIFA 24 not loading” issue.

I don’t know why this happens, but in some cases, my Xbox will refuse to launch games if the WiFi is not working. So, to get rid of the FIFA 24 not loading error, try this:

1. Check Network Equipment:

• Ensure all cables and connections from your modem, router, or other network devices are securely plugged in without any physical damages.
• Power cycle your modem and router by unplugging them, waiting for a minute, and then plugging them back in. This can often resolve network-related issues.

2. Check Your Wi-Fi Connection:

• If using Wi-Fi, ensure you’re within a reasonable range of the router and there are no physical obstructions affecting the signal.
• Consider connecting your gaming device directly to the router using an Ethernet cable for a more stable and faster connection.

3. Bandwidth Management:

• Check other devices connected to the same network to ensure they are not consuming excessive bandwidth. High bandwidth usage can slow down your internet speed, affecting game loading times.

4. Contact Internet Service Provider (ISP):

• If the issue persists, reach out to your ISP to check for any outages or potential problems with your internet connection.
• They can guide you through further troubleshooting steps and might identify if there are issues in your area affecting the connection.

2. Restart Your Gaming System (Xbox, PC, Playstation, Nintendo)

Perhaps the ideal solution you need for the FIFA 24 not loading error is to simply reset your console.

I know how simple this sounds, but hey, it works! To soft-reset your gaming system, try this:

• Wait for a few moments and then press the power button again to turn on the console.

4. To Soft Reset Your PlayStation 4:

• Press and hold the power button for seven seconds until you hear a second beep to turn off the console.

3. Clear FIFA 24 Cache Files

Did you know that you can also clear EA FC 24 cache files?

This sounds like if we were clearing the cache of a mobile game or app, but this trick works for PC and consoles too.

According to EA Sports, clearing cache files can indeed be an effective solution to fix FIFA 24 not loading.

This is how we can clear FIFA 24 cache files:

1. To Clear FIFA 24 Cache On Windows 10:

• Open the Start menu and find EA, then click the downward arrow to expand.
• Select “App Recovery.”
• A confirmation window will pop up; click “Clear Cache.”

2. To Clear FIFA 24 Cache On Origin (Mac):

• Use the “Reset Origin” tool to quickly clear the cache on a Mac.

3. To Clear FIFA 24 Cache On  PlayStation 5 and 4:

• While PlayStation consoles don’t have a cache to clear, a simple restart (“turning off and back on again”) can often help resolve issues.
• For a more thorough clean, perform a cold boot: hold down the Power button until the powering down beeps, unplug the console, wait for two minutes, then reconnect and power on.

4. To Clear FIFA 24 Cache On  Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One:

• Press and hold the Power button on the console until it turns off.
• Unplug the power cable and press the Power button three or four times to drain any remaining power.
• Plug the power cable back in, turn on the Xbox, and the cache will be cleared.

5. To Clear FIFA 24 Cache On  Nintendo Switch:

• Open the Home menu and choose “System Settings.”
• Select “System” and tap “Formatting Options.”
• Choose “Clear Cache,” select the user for whom you want to clear the cache, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Clearing cache files can often resolve loading issues in FIFA 24 by providing a fresh start and removing any temporary data that might be causing the EA FC 24 not loading bug. 

4. Check FIFA 24 System Requirements

If FIFA 24 is not loading on your PC, one possible reason could be that your computer might not meet the game’s system requirements.

If your PC is older or doesn’t meet these specifications, it might struggle to load and play FIFA 24 effectively.

Here are the official system requirements for FIFA 24 on PC:

1. Minimum FIFA 24 Requirements:

• Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-6600K (3.5GHz) or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (3.2GHz)
• RAM: 8 GB
• Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4GB) or AMD Radeon RX 570 (4GB)
• DirectX: Version 12
• Internet: Broadband connection
• Storage: At least 100 GB of available space

2. Recommended FIFA 24 Specifications:

• Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i7-6700 (3.4GHz) or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (3.7GHz)
• RAM: 12 GB
• Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD RX 5600 XT
• DirectX: Version 12
• Internet: Broadband connection
• Storage: At least 100 GB of available space

If your PC falls below these requirements, upgrading your hardware (like your processor, RAM, or graphics card) or considering playing the game on a more suitable platform may be necessary to enjoy FIFA 24 without loading issues.

5. Check FIFA 24 EA FC Server Status

Checking the FIFA 24 EA FC (Electronic Arts Football Club) server status is an important step to determine if server issues might be causing problems with the game not loading or connecting properly. 

The EA FC servers are crucial for online features and gameplay in FIFA games, and this is how you can check them:

1. Visit Official EA Website: Go to the official Electronic Arts website. 

2. Navigate to Server Status Page: Look for a section related to server status, server health, or current server status. EA provides a dedicated page or section where you can check the status of their servers for various games.

3. Check FIFA 24 Server Status: Locate FIFA 24 within the list of games, and check if the servers are marked as operational, experiencing issues, or undergoing maintenance.

By checking the EA FC server status for FIFA 24, you can determine if any server-related issues might be affecting the game’s loading or performance. 

6. Run FIFA 24 as Administrator

Running FIFA 24 as an administrator is a troubleshooting step that can help resolve issues related to permissions or access rights that might be causing the game not to load or run properly. 

I know how ancient this trick is, but it can be the ideal solution you are looking for – do this to run EA FC 24 as administrator:

1. Locate the FIFA 24 Executable:

• Find the FIFA 24 executable file, usually named “FIFA24.exe” or something similar.
• Typically, this file is located in the installation folder of the game.

2. Right-click on the Executable:

• Right-click on the FIFA 24 executable file.

3. Select “Run as administrator”:

• From the context menu that appears, select the option that says “Run as administrator.”

4. Confirm Administrator Access:

• If prompted by a User Account Control (UAC) window, click “Yes” or enter the administrator password if required.
• Running the game as an administrator grants it elevated privileges and can potentially resolve loading or performance issues caused by restricted access or permissions in FIFA 24, so give it a try. 

7. Reinstall FIFA 24

FIFA 24 Failed to Load, What Do I Do?

If you follow all the steps mentioned before, and still FIFA 24 is not loading on your system, then there are three more things that we can try.

1. Try To Download FIFA 24 on Another Gaming Device

Trying to download FIFA 24 on another gaming device can be a last-resort solution to fix the loading issue. Here’s how you can go about it:

To Download FIFA 24 On Another Gaming Device:

• If possible, access a different gaming device such as another PC, console, or Nintendo Switch.
• Log in with the same account you used to purchase FIFA 24.
• Navigate to the game store for the respective platform (e.g., Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Nintendo eShop).
• Search for FIFA 24 and initiate the download.
• Wait for the download and installation to complete.

If FIFA 24 loads successfully on the new device, you can consider playing it on that device or troubleshoot further on the original device – there might be a problem with your old console, and hardware issues can only be repaired by experts.

2. Disable Your PC Firewall and Antivirus

Disabling your PC firewall and antivirus can be a last-resort solution to address FIFA 24 not loading issues, especially if these security measures are overly restrictive and interfering with the game’s functionality

To Disable Your Firewall On Windows:

• Press the Windows key + S to open the search bar and type “Windows Security.”
• Open Windows Security and click on “Firewall & network protection.”
• Click on your currently active network (e.g., Private, Public).
• Toggle the switch to turn off the Windows Defender Firewall.

To Disable Your Antivirus:

• The method to disable your antivirus may vary based on the antivirus software you’re using.
• Typically, you can find the antivirus icon in the system tray (bottom-right corner of the screen).
• Right-click the antivirus icon and look for an option like “Disable,” “Pause,” or “Turn Off.”

Run FIFA 24:

• Once both the firewall and antivirus are disabled, attempt to launch FIFA 24.
• Check if the game loads without any issues.
• Only disable your firewall and antivirus temporarily for testing purposes.
• Make sure to re-enable them immediately after testing to maintain your PC’s security.
• If FIFA 24 loads successfully after disabling the firewall and antivirus, you may need to configure them to allow the game through while still keeping your PC protected.

3. Contact EA Sports FC 24 Support Team

Maybe there’s something wrong with your FIFA 24 account – are you sure that you have been playing the game by the rules? A while ago, we made a guide about how to report FIFA 23 hackers, so we hope you are not engaging in these practices!
