Error: "fifa17config.exe has stopped working"
Error: "MSVCP120.dll missing" (when launching config.exe)
Error: Config opens but settings don't save
If you own FIFA 17 on Steam (delisted now, but still playable for owners): fifa 17 config.exe download
If fifa_setup.exe fails to launch or you want to force specific settings (common for crash troubleshooting), you can edit the configuration file directly using Notepad.
// Installation directory
INSTALLDIR = .
// Language: use "en_US" for English, "de_DE" for German, etc.
LOCALE = en_US
// Audio Language
AUDIO_LANG = en_US
// Screen Resolution
RESOLUTION = 1920x1080
// Refresh Rate
REFRESH_RATE = 60
// Window Mode: 0 = Fullscreen, 1 = Windowed, 2 = Borderless
WINDOWMODE = 0
// VSync: 0 = Off, 1 = On
VSYNC = 0
Open fifasetup.ini (in My Documents/FIFA 17) with Notepad. Key lines:
RESOLUTIONWIDTH = 1920
RESOLUTIONHEIGHT = 1080
RENDERINGQUALITY = 2 (0=Low, 1=Med, 2=High, 3=Ultra)
WAITFORVSYNC = 1
WINDOWED = 0 (0=Fullscreen, 1=Windowed, 2=Borderless)
Option 1 – Repair your game (EA App / Origin) Error: "fifa17config
Option 2 – Download from a trusted source (for advanced users)
If you have a legal license but lost the config file, you can find a clean backup from known modding communities. Do this at your own risk:
Option 3 – Edit settings manually
The config.exe simply writes to C:\Users\[YourName]\Documents\FIFA 17\fifasetup.ini.
Open that file in Notepad and edit:
RESOLUTIONWIDTH = 1920
RESOLUTIONHEIGHT = 1080
RENDERINGQUALITY = 3
WINDOWED = 0
MSAA_LEVEL = 3
If the official repair fails (e.g., EA App stuck on "Preparing"), you can obtain the config file from trusted PC gaming communities. Always scan with VirusTotal before use. Error: "MSVCP120
Trusted source example:
Nexus Mods or PCGamingWiki often host untouched game configuration files used for modding. Look for "FIFA 17 Launcher Restorer."
What a legitimate file should look like:
Installation steps after manual download:
EA released a post-launch patch that updated the config tool. You can manually download that patch from EA’s legacy update server (link example – do not click suspicious shortened URLs). Search for "FIFA 17 Official Patch 1.01" on EA’s help site. Install the patch over your existing game, which overwrites the config files.
