Last update from my side.. I have taken the following measures:
Updated BIOS, chipset drivers, NVIDIA GPU drivers to latest versions
Performed clean reinstall of NVIDIA drivers using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)
Tested FC 26 with NVIDIA drivers completely uninstalled (Microsoft Basic Display Adapter) – still crashing
Fully reinstalled FC 25 and later FC 26 (clean install)
Repaired and reinstalled EA AntiCheat multiple times
Ran EA App and game as administrator
Tried running EA App and FC executables in Windows 8 compatibility mode
Changed Windows power plan to High Performance and set CPU minimum and maximum processor state to 100% (to avoid C-state sleep)
Tested with controller disconnected (HID devices removed)
Monitored CPU/GPU temperatures, clocks, voltages with HWiNFO – no throttling or overheating observed
Stress tested with other games (Cities Skylines 2, F1 25)- no crashes
None of the above measures changed the behavior.
FC 26 still freezes the entire PC after approx 3–4 minutes, requiring a hard reset every time. This happens consistently in menus or in matches, while CPU/GPU load remains low and system temperatures are normal. Other demanding games run completely stable on this system.
Once Windows created a Minidump, I will attach it here too.
I hope EA fixes this ASAP because the game is just not playable at this point.
EDIT:
I Finally found the reason:
SYMBOL_NAME: eaanticheat
MODULE_NAME: eaanticheat
IMAGE_NAME: eaanticheat.sys
STACK_COMMAND: .process /r /p 0xffffda099451f0c0; .thread 0xffffda09b3dc4080 ; kb
BUCKET_ID_FUNC_OFFSET: 8b0ef2 FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:
CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT_INTERRUPTS_DISABLED_eaanticheat!unknown_function
OSPLATFORM_TYPE: x64 OSNAME: Windows 10
its clearly the anti cheat
So what is the fix exactly? What do we do?
