The application has encountered an unexpected error.

    I am having a serious issue launching EA SPORTS FC 26 through Steam, and I'm hoping someone here might have a solution.

How it started: When I first bought and installed the game, everything worked perfectly fine. However, I later decided to use FIFA Mod Manager and Live Editor to install some basic mods (mainly player faces, kits, transfer updates, and player edits). Right after that, the game stopped launching entirely and has been crashing ever since.

The Error: Every time I try to launch the game, it triggers the Crash Report Handler window showing a memory dump file.

What I have already tried (Unsuccessfully):

- Completely deleted all mods, Mod Manager, and Live Editor from my PC.

- Uninstalled the game and re-installed a clean version via Steam multiple times.

- Checked and confirmed that Secure boot and TPM 2.0 are enabled and active in my BIOS.

- Cleared Steam and EA App caches, and verified game files via steam.

- Completely uninstalled and reinstalled the EA Anti-Cheat service.

- Cleaned up remaining game folders in steamapps/common and checked the Documents folder.

 

If anyone has encountered this and knows how to completely fix it to get the game running again, please let me know.

 

Thank you so much in advance!

    I would like to add an important detail. I also have FC 25 installed on the same PC via EA, and I used the exact same FIFA Mod Manager to install mods there. However, I NEVER used Live Editor on FC 25. Surprisingly, FC 25 still launches and plays perfectly fine with mods. This confirms that the issue is specific to FC 26.
