Similar boat except now it just shows EAFC loading antijavelin and then exits off to EA APP again. Absolutely ridiculous when EAFC 25 works totally fine.

Hello, try putting your PC offline then uninstall and reinstall EA Javelin anti cheat then connect to the internet again and check if it works, if it doesn't work you can try clearing the cache of the EA app, if it still doesn't work you can first make a backup of the EA SPORT 26 folder (located in C:\Users\your user\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26) then delete the original folder so as to force the game to recreate clean data from the last update.

Also I recommend installing the Latest supported v14 (for Visual Studio 2017–2026) and the 2015 package, which are what Anticheat needs to work best.
