Crashing

Hey,

My game Fc 26 has started crashing so much that it's basically unplayable. The game crashes for no apparent reason, often in the middle of a match and sometimes even in the menu. I play the game on a PC and my drivers, updates, and everything else are fine. I haven't had any problems with other games on Steam. I tried to find information about the game's problems that started after the turn of the year, but I can't find a solution. Is it because of updates to the game? Is there anything I can do about it?

    Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. Do you ever get an error message or does the game just crash and send you back to the desktop? 

    It would be good to get a DxDiag report from you. Instructions to gather one are here. I'll look it over for any issues that could be causing the crashing.

    Steps completed:

     

    1. Clean Windows 11 25H2 install
    2. Verified system: Secure Boot, UEFI, TPM 2.0
    3. Updated all drivers (GPU, chipset, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Realtek, NVIDIA, AMD System drivers, Logitech USB, Alienware firmware, etc.)
    4. Rolled back NVIDIA RTX 4080 driver from 591.86 → 591.74 (clean install)
    5. Attempted other driver versions (591.59, 591.44)
    6. Verified GPU is recognized correctly; confirmed driver installation
    7. Ran EA App as Administrator
    8. Cleared EA App cache
    9. Deleted all local FC26 folders in Documents and AppData (Local & Roaming)
    10. Tried a new Windows user account
    11. Tried multiple other devices (PCs)
    12. Disconnected all linked devices and consoles
    13. Verified FC25 works perfectly on same PC and same account
    14. Verified FC26 works perfectly on a different EA account on the same PC
    15. Tested letting the game compile shaders fully
    16. Tested lowering resolution / changing fullscreen settings
    17. Reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables
    18. Reinstalled DirectX
    19. Reset Windows Firewall to default
    20. Checked and corrected system time/date settings
    21. Changed DNS settings (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1, Google 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4)
    22. Attempted Beta Unicode UTF-8 locale fix
    23. Attempted EA demo launch
    24. Attempted different EA App installs
    25. Unlinked Steam and re-linked
    26. Tried multiple volumes for installation
    27. Tried both USB and local installs
    28. Verified cloud sync options and attempted deletion
    29. Tried both “Set up as new PC” and in-place update options
    30. Verified nothing blocks authentication (Firewall, Admin, network)
    31. Checked Windows Event Viewer for errors multiple times
    32. Attempted to switch accounts in-game (did not work)

     

     

    Observations:

     

    • Crash happens only on main EA account in FC26.
    • FC25 works on same PC and same account.
    • FC26 works on another EA account.
    • Splash → black screen → EA App return.
    • Local troubleshooting fully exhausted.

     

     

    Request:

    Please escalate this issue and reset my FC26 cloud/profile data on your servers. This is clearly account-specific, not hardware, Windows, or driver-related.

    Mine is doing the same thing, but on PS5. Takes a few minutes and then “there was a problem connecting to the FUT servers. Please try again later”. I have changed my network settings, deleted and redownloaded, nothing is working.
