FC 25 not launching

FC 25 installed via Xbox Game Pass on PC. Game launches to splash screen then crashes. Event Viewer shows EA Javelin Anticheat Event ID 1000, fc25.exe exited unexpectedly with exit code 0xFFFFFFFF. Issue started around 21-22 May 2026. Verified game files, reinstalled EA Anticheat, SFC scan clean, all drivers up to date. Valorant and other games work fine

    Some troubleshooting steps for you to try: 

    1. Fully reinstall EA Javelin Anticheat

    • Go to:
      C:\Program Files\EA\AC\EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe
    • Run as Administrator
    • Select FC25
    • Uninstall
    • Reboot
    • Reinstall

     

    2. Disable possible conflicting software

    • MSI Afterburner / RivaTuner
    • ASUS Armoury Crate
    • RGB software
    • FanControl
    • reWASD
    • Daemon Tools
    • Process Hacker
    • VPN software
    • old motherboard utilities

     

    3. Clean boot

    • Win+R → msconfig
    • Services tab
    • Hide Microsoft services
    • Disable all remaining
    • Startup tab → open Task Manager → disable everything
    • Reboot
    • Test FC25

     

    4. Repair Windows system files
    Open elevated CMD:

    sfc /scannow
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Then reboot.

    5. Reinstall GPU driver. Use:

    • NVIDIA App clean install
      or
    • DDU in Safe Mode

    I'll try to keep this brief. 

    1. Uninstall ASUS Armoury Crate
    2. Perform a clean reinstall or update of your GPU drivers. 

    If the issues still persist, you can refer to your manufacturer for info on resetting your BIOS defaults (disable XMP and GPU overclock). 

    Thank you. EA_Barry.

    Hi Barry,
    1) I don't have ASUS Armory Crate installed as my laptop is HP Envy 16
    2) Reinstalled GPU Drivers and disabled XMP and GPU overclock.
    And its still the same the splash screen comes it launchs anti cheat and then shows launching game and then just crashs instantly like the application window also doesn't come and it crashs.
