However, we’ve found that the following steps fix the issue where FIFA 23 packs crash immediately after opening because of the game’s spray graphics.
1. Check the PC’s graphics card driver.
The most common issue causing FIFA 23 packs not to load is an issue with your PC’s graphics and drivers. The issue is common, especially for players using Radeon RX Vega and NVIDIA 1000 series graphics cards.
The manufacturers behind these graphics cards haven’t addressed the issue yet. However, ensuring that your graphics card is updated to the latest version can help you take advantage of later updates that may fix the issue.
2. Skip the pack animation
You can skip the pack animation to stop FIFA 23 game from crashing by pressing the X button on your console pad. That way, the spray graphics will not stop the normal running of the game.
The two solutions mentioned above are temporary, and you will still experience pack crashes when opening the Gold or Special Pack. So what remains is for the players to be patient for an update or solution from the official EA Sports.
