EA Javelin AntiCheat Error 0xC0000005 on Windows 11

Hi everyone! Is anyone else having trouble launching EA SPORTS College Football 27 on PC because of EA Javelin AntiCheat?

Whenever I try to launch the game through Steam, I get an unexpected game shutdown error (0xC0000005). I've spent over 7 hours trying to fix it, reinstalled Windows twice, reinstalled the game and AntiCheat multiple times, and followed all the troubleshooting steps suggested by EA Support. Nothing has worked.

I'm running Windows 11 26H2, build 26300.9711, with a Ryzen 5 5500, an RX 580 8GB, and 16GB of RAM. The AntiCheat service also fails to start properly and reports Error 87.

EA Support told me that other players are experiencing similar issues and that the team is investigating. I've also found reports of Javelin compatibility problems with recent Windows Insider builds.

Has anyone else experienced this exact issue? If so, have you found a fix that actually works? I'd especially like to hear from anyone using the same Windows build.

Thanks!

    Technically, this is an unsupported insider or preview build of Windows. Ideally, you would switch to a regular retail Windows install. Thank you. EA_Barry.

    Hi, thank you for your response. However, I would like to clarify that College Football 27 was running perfectly fine on my PC, and I had already played over 100 hours without any issues. This problem appeared suddenly, out of nowhere, and the game stopped launching with the EA Javelin AntiCheat error 0xC0000005.

    Since then, I have formatted my PC multiple times, testing different Windows ISO images and different motherboard BIOS versions, among many other troubleshooting attempts. Nothing has resolved the issue.

    Furthermore, EA Support representatives informed me via live chat that they had received numerous reports from players experiencing the same error over the past few days. They told me the issue had been forwarded to the studio team for investigation, but they could not provide an estimated timeframe for a fix or a confirmed workaround.

    Given that the game was working perfectly before this issue suddenly appeared, and that other players have reportedly been experiencing the same error, I would appreciate it if this could be investigated as a potential issue with EA Javelin AntiCheat rather than simply attributed to my Windows installation.

    I have already spent countless hours trying to resolve this problem. I just want to play a game that was working perfectly a few days ago. Any clarification or update from the team would be greatly appreciated.
