EA AntiCheat (Javelin) crashes on Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200)
Hi,
I'm unable to launch EA FC 26 on PC (Steam) due to an EA AntiCheat crash every time I try to start the game. I have analyzed the generated crash dump files and can confirm the following:
• Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005)
• Faulting module: EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.dll
• Exception type: DEP/NX violation at the DLL's own base address
• OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2 (Build 26200.8328)
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• GPU: AMD RX 9070 XT
Steps I have already tried without success:
• Uninstalled and reinstalled EA AntiCheat multiple times
• Disabled Discord overlay
• Added FC 26 folder to Windows Defender exclusions
• Verified game file integrity via Steam
This is a known incompatibility between EA Javelin AntiCheat and Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200), reported by many users across FC 26 and Battlefield 6 threads. The game worked correctly before updating to 25H2.
This is not a user-side configuration issue — it requires an EA AntiCheat driver update for Windows 11 25H2 compatibility. Please prioritize a fix.
Thank you.
