Many gamers think that they will play FIFA 2013 without any problems if they purchase a licensed version of the product. Naturally, there will be fewer problems, and you can always contact technical support to get a professional answer, as well as help. However, you should not think that you will not have problems at all. For example, E1103 is an error that can occur both on pirated versions of the game and on licensed copies. Therefore, no one guarantees you that the game will work like clockwork, if you pay for it. So, if you get a similar error, you should definitely read this guide to analyze all possible solutions.
The essence of the problem
So, before analyzing ways to solve the problem, you must first understand what exactly it is. E1103 - an error that may occur when you start the FIFA 2013 game. You may see a screen with a game splash screen, but after that everything will freeze, and if you exit, you will receive a message that says just about this error. From there, you will know that the game is missing the rdl.dll file, so it can not start. What could be the reason? And most importantly - how is the E1103 eliminated, a mistake that spoiled the nerves of far from a dozen gamers?
Disabling Antivirus
If you downloaded the pirated version of the game, then you should first of all think about disabling the antivirus. E1103 - an error informing you that you do not have any file on your computer, which means that there is a high probability that it was blocked by your antivirus. When you download pirated versions, always turn off the antivirus before installation - this applies not only to FIFA 2013, but also to all other games. The fact is that they get the opportunity to run without a disk and without a license due to the fact that crack is being introduced into them - a special program that breaks protection. And many antiviruses can identify it as a threat, and then quarantine or delete it.
If the file has already been deleted, remember it, delete the game and reinstall it with the antivirus disabled. Then turn on the antivirus and add the file to the exceptions so that the next time you start the game there are no problems. In FIFA 13, the E1103 error occurs quite often, but this does not always happen precisely because of the antivirus. As mentioned earlier, this error occurs for those gamers who use a licensed copy of the game.
Installing the required distribution
Errors in FIFA 13 and other computer games can often be caused by the fact that you did not install the distribution kit necessary for the game. Previously, in order to play, you just had to install and run the game. But now there are additional side programs that need to be installed after installing the game itself, so that it functions normally. And if you do not have any dll-file, then this may mean that you have not installed the desired version of one of these side programs. Accordingly, you need to download the DirectX installer, VCRedist, as well as some others.
However, the above two programs are key for FIFA 2013, so in this case, you need to take care of them first.
File replay0.bin
Everyone may have the following situation, but there’s no point in delving into this reason why the e1103 error may occur. You will find help with the configuration in this manual - there is nothing complicated or intimidating in the correction. You just need to find the file called replay0.bin and delete it. After that, create a new file with the same name and extension, but make it empty. When you are done with this, you will need to make the final touches - save the file, and then make it read-only. This will prevent the re-recording of information in it, which causes the appearance of the above error.
Manual search
The last way to solve the problem is sometimes effective, but it is still not recommended to be used, since it is extremely unprofessional. When an error message appears on the screen, you see which file is missing. Copy its name, if possible (if not, remember it), and then go to the page of any search engine and search the network for exactly where you can download such a file. Download it, copy to the game folder and try to start it again. Remember that you do all this at your own peril and risk - you can ruin the game client or even bring a virus to your computer. But in the best case, you can achieve a positive result, and the game will work. However, it is still recommended that this step be replaced by contacting technical support, as there they will be able to provide professional assistance and advise what exactly may not be what tests to conduct and what to do next. Thus, you can solve the problem without resorting to the use of dangerous methods, the effectiveness of which is not one hundred percent and which could put your computer in danger.
