AntiCheat Crash on Launch - EA FC26

I think I have the same problem as you. I had error messages after the July 14th patch in event viewer, but after a small patch on I think the 18th, it still crashes. Only difference is there are no error messages in the even viewer anymore.

ik bro it sucks

same problem bro.. today bought the fc26 and i cant start it..

EA_Aljo​ please reply afap,

thanks

Hey EA,

I try to launch fc from steam, anticheat pops up, loads like 1 min and then it just closes. no error mssg.

i have tried launching it through ea app. Ive tried launching as admin. Cleared cache. verified files. uninstalling and reinstalling the anticheat. to no help

theres no real error mssg in event viewer either, it just says fc26 crashed. 

i have tried absloutely every solution you guys posted on here for the same problem and still no luck it launches that screen where is says launching stuff and when it comes to launching the game is just closes.

and here is my DxDiag file attached aswel.

you got a fix for this?

I've had multiple problems with this application and like every time I have to fix it by myself because the "support" EA gives is literally nothing. This time, I can't fix it by myself.  Now when I try to start the game, EA Javelin Anti-Cheat says "Launching Anti-Cheat" or wtvr and then without even notifying me creates an error pop up that hides behind the anti cheat screen. the error is Exception code: 0xc0000005.

I've tried everything. And do you know what I hate the most? THE FACT THAT I CAN'T EVEN ATTACH THE DMP FILE HERE. NOR ANYWHERE ON THE SUPPORT PAGE. 

Here is the full error message:

I'm so sick and tired of this problem solving. I bought the game to play football not go searching in the darkest corners of my PC.

Oooh yes I love being told to create a memory dump when I can't even do it😁

The game was working fine this morning, but now I'm getting this error whenever I try to launch it. I've already verified the game files through the launcher and attempted to repair the anti-cheat using its repair option, but the issue still persists.

I've been having the same problems for 2 days.

The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005
--------------
Exception code: 0xC0000005
Exception address: 0x149651BC0
Faulting module name: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FC 26\FC26.exe, base: 0x140000000
Fault offset: 0x9651BC0

FC26 Is not launching from steam, given a crash report.

Have tried clearing cache, re-installing Anti-Cheat ec.

The same thing happens to me, man. I had installed Live Editor and FIFA Mod Manager to get a better Career Mode experience, but the mods didn't work properly. I uninstalled all the mods so I could play Pro Clubs with my friends, and FIFA wouldn't even open anymore. It always crashes when the anti-cheat is initializing. Eu já entrei em suporte com a EA, fiz todos os passos em que me mandaram e mesmo assim nada funcionou.
