Hi there. Thanks for including the DxDiag. Here are some suggestions that may help with this issue.

  • You're on a non-mainstream Windows build. Switch to a more stable version of Windows and make sure it's updated
  • Your Nvidia driver is very new. Try rolling back to a previous one
  • Disable overlays for the EA App, Discord, GeForce Experience/ShadowPlay, Steam, MSI Afterburner/RivaTuner, Overworld, Reshade and any capture/OSD tools


Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions and for taking the time to check my DxDiag.

I’ve already tried rolling back my NVIDIA driver (I rolled it back to the oldest version available on the official website for my laptop), and I also disabled overlays and some background tools as suggested. Unfortunately, the issue is still happening so far.

Regarding Windows, this system came preinstalled with my laptop and has only been updated through normal Windows Update. I haven’t joined the Windows Insider Program.

I haven’t reinstalled Windows yet, but I might try that later if nothing else works.

Anyway, thanks for the help, bro — I really appreciate it.

    Thanks for trying those. Check the Memory Integrity. Go to Windows Security > Device Security > Core Isolation > Memory Integrity. Let me know if this is on or off.

    Also, do a clean remove of the EA AntiCheat with these steps:

    1. Uninstall FC 26
    2. Go to C:\Program Files\EA\AC\ and run EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe
    3. Select FC26 > Uninstall
    4. Delete C:\ProgramData\eaanticheat\ and reboot
    5. Reinstall FC 26


    Let me know what happens. Thank you.
