  • Pre-ordered. I have GamePass, other PS5 and Xbox Friends are on. Actively playing right now but when I try it says upgrade to unlock.....ive already purchased it. Ive got the 10hr demo as well. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled so many times Ive lost count. 

  • Hello, so since the end of FC 25 I have the same problem and I don't know what to do anymore, I enter the game and the game simply crashes my entire PC I can't exit or enter or anything so I turn off the PC, then I did EVERYTHING I could the methods I did several searches support opened I went to the forum and nothing solved my problem, and the problem is not my PC I tested several games that are more difficult than FC and it ran smoothly, when I go to validate the two games on Steam 3 commented files appear in both games and it doesn't exit, I believe that is what is causing the games to crash. 

  • Hello, While playing Draft on the PC platform, we constantly encounter cheaters and unfairly lose our limited entries. Honest players are losing while cheaters keep winning, and EA doesn’t seem to fix anything about this issue. When will this problem be resolved? Or does no one care about the loss of our Draft entries? Please help, EA. ???????

     

  • Any word on when the inability to start the game will be fixed on PC?

    On PC, I checked the history log and it says that Anticheat.exe is problematic for some reason... 

    I have tried to start it as 'run as administrator', updated, patched etc (there is a 16 step tutorial on youtube about it) I have done everything but the game won't start. 

    Note that other games, new or old, all start as soon as I download and install them, but for some reason this one doesn't... 🫠

     

    What you need to know about the environment: 

    I have an EA play subscription (obviously for the 10 hour trial).

    My computer is an ASUS TUF: Windows 11 Pro version, Nvidia GTX 1660TI GPU, Ryzen 7 CPU, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB Samsung SSD. That's pretty much what it looks like and this configuration plays everything except FC 26. 🤷🏼‍♂️
