EA FC 26 - Cannot launch game on PC
I cannot load up the game. When I press launch, the splash screen comes up, it says the anti cheat is loading, then the splash screen goes away and a couple of seconds later the EA app pops right back. A week ago it was fine, I was able to play, but now I cannot even load up the game. This is the third day it won't let me on the game. I tried everything, closed the EA app through task manager, reinstalled EA app, EA FC 26, pressed repair, nothing seemed to work. I have also secure boot turned on in my BIOS.
Does anyone else have this issue and if so does anyone have a fix for it?
Thank you for help.
Hey there!
Yes, there are many things to try and make the game work again.
First things first:- Please disconnect every unnecessary USB Device. Keep Mouse and Keyboard for now.
- Check for Windows Updates, if there are errors there, try to sort those out. You'd be surprised how many times this actually does the trick!
- Drivers: Try a clean install of GPU Drivers.
Now that this is done, if you are still experiencing issues, we can start to get a bit more technical:
- First, try with a Safe/Clean boot.
- If the game still fails, you may want to repair EA Javelin.
- This guide should have everything you need to troubleshoot potential errors that EA Javelin throws at you.
- Try deleting some settings files:
- Go here: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26 (note AppData is a hidden folder)
- Delete files and folders named "fcsetup", "settings" and "Umcache".
Consider reviewing our Technical Guide for FC 26, which may include additional steps not shared here.
