How to fix PS5 FIFA 23 CE-108255-1 error code?

If FIFA 23 keeps crashing on your PS5 and showing the CE-108255-1 error code, here are the solutions that you need to try:

Fix #1: Restart the game.

Sometimes, all it takes to flush out a minor bug in the system or in an app is by closing and starting the app back up. If you haven’t done this, make sure that you restart FIFA 23 and see if that will work.

Here’s how it’s done:

1. Go to the Home screen or Control Center.
2. Highlight the FIFA 23 game tile and press the Options button on your controller.
3. Select Close app.

Fix #2: Reboot your PS5.

If closing and restarting the game won’t work, the next step for you is to refresh the console itself. To do that, you need to restart it. 

1. Press the PS button on your controller.
2. Select the Power icon at the bottom.
3. Select Restart PS5 option.

Fix #3: Install game updates.

Keeping FIFA 23 up-to-date is essential because no video game is perfect. Again, this isn’t a big deal for people whose consoles already have internet connections. The game itself requires continual updates because it is always communicating with the servers to update your data (achievements, progress, etc.).

It’s not going to hurt to check for updates manually every once in a while.

Fix #4: Check for PS5 software update.

You also need to update system software from time to time in order to fix known bugs and to prevent new ones from appearing. Some users may be experiencing a PlayStation error code or game crashing issue that has nothing to do with the gamebut is instead the result of out-of-date console software.

If you’re having trouble with FIFA 23 on PS5, updating your console’s OS may help.

1. Make sure that your PS5 is connected to the internet.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Go to System.
4. Go to System Software.
5. Go to System Software Update and Settings.
6. Go to Update System Software.
7. Once the update is finished, restart the PS5 and check for the PS5 error code CE-108255-1.

Fix #5: Disable HDCP.

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection is the abbreviation for HDCP. It’s a method of protecting digital media files against being duplicated on multiple gadgets. You won’t be able to use a game capture device such an Elgato if you enable such a feature.

While this HDCP function shouldn’t affect gameplay in most cases, it may cause problems with video recording and capture software and may cause the PS5 error code CE-108255-1 Turning off HDCP may help your PS5 console function normally again.

Here’s what you must do:

1. Go to your PS5 Home screen.
2. Select System Settings.
3. Go to System category.
4. Select HDMI from the left pane and toggle the button for Enable HDCP.

Fix #6: Clean the game disc.

If you bought the disc version of FIFA 23, make sure that you take out the disc and clean it with a clean microfiber cloth. Sometimes, fingerprints, smudges, dust, or scratches may cause reading issues with your PS5.

Then, once you’ve wiped the disc clean, run FIFA 23 again and check for the CE-108255-1 error message.

If you have the digital version of PS5, simply ignore this suggestion.

Fix #7: Reinstall the game.

One of the effective ways to fix weird crashing issues or this particular error code CE-108255-1 is to reinstall the game. If FIFA 23 is still crashing or keeps showing the error code CE-108255-1, delete the game and reinstall it afterwards.

Selecting Clear Cache and Rebuild Database will cause the PS5 to perform a full system scan and generate a brand new database for all of your data, hence effectively eliminating possible corrupted game files or cache.

1. Turn off your PS5 console by pressing the Power button and waiting for the LED indication to stop flashing.
2. Once the console has been switched off, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until you hear two beep noises, which may take six to seven seconds.
3. Connect a controller to the console with a USB cable, then press the PS button to view the menu.
4. Select Rebuild Database option.
5. Select OK when the“The database will be rebuilt. Rebuilding the database may take a few hours” prompt appears.
6. When you hit the OK button, the console will begin resetting the data, and a status bar will display the progress and remaining time.

Fix #9: Factory reset.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has advised that resetting your PS5 to factory settings is your last resort in fixing this problem. In order to do that, you must re-enter Safe Mode and choose Option 6 from the menu (Reset PS5).
