I just asked a friend about your issue and he's a computer system guru. This is what he sent me back to let you know:
Since EA SPORTS College Football 27 is the series' first PC release, most Windows 11 crashes are caused by EA Anti-Cheat conflicts, controller input mapping issues, or corrupted shader caches.
Disable Controller Overrides & Background Utilities
- Disable Steam Input: In Steam, right-click College Football 27 > Properties > Controller > set the override to Disable Steam Input.
- Close Mapping Software: Close third-party controller mapping utilities like DS4Windows, DualSenseX, or reWASD via Task Manager before launching the game.
Repair Game Files & EA Anti-Cheat
- Verify Files: On the EA App, go to Library > Manage > Repair. On Steam, right-click the game > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.
- Reinstall Anti-Cheat: Navigate to C:\Program Files\EA\AC, right-click EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe, select Run as administrator, choose College Football 27, and click Repair.
- Admin Rights: Right-click CollegeFootball27.exe and your platform launcher (EA App or Steam), select Properties > Compatibility, and check Run this program as an administrator.
Reset GPU Shader Cache & Update Drivers
- Perform a fresh installation of the latest graphics drivers using NVIDIA GeForce Experience, AMD Adrenalin, or Intel Driver Assistant.
- Clear your GPU shader cache via your graphics control panel (e.g., NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings, or AMD Software) and reboot your PC.
Update Visual C++ & Disable Overlays
- Reinstall or repair the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (x64) packages and the DirectX runtime.
- Turn off in-game overlays inside Steam, the EA App, Discord, and GeForce Experience.
- Add CollegeFootball27.exe and its installation folder to your Windows Security/Antivirus exclusions list.
