FC 26 – Turkish Commentary Has No Audio (Steam – EA App License Issue)

Hello,

I purchased EA SPORTS FC 26 on Steam mainly to use Turkish commentary.

Before formatting my PC, Turkish commentary was working correctly.
After a clean Windows installation and reinstalling the game, the issue started.

Current situation:
- FC 26 is owned on Steam and appears in EA App library
- EA App says “Buy another edition” and I cannot manage the game
- Turkish commentary files exist on my system
- Turkish can be selected in Audio settings
- However, there is no commentary audio during matches (same for English)
- Crowd and other sounds work normally

I already tried:
- Reinstalling the game
- Clearing EA App cache
- Repair
- Restarting PC
- Re-downloading language packs from in-game settings

None of these worked.

EA Support informed me that this appears to be a server-side / entitlement issue and has been recorded in my case for further investigation.

I believe this is a Steam–EA App license (entitlement) sync problem.
Has anyone experienced the same issue or received a fix from the EA team?

Thank you.

    Hello everyone,

    I want to share a workaround that fixed the commentary issue for me on PC (Steam version).

    My problem:
    After formatting my PC and reinstalling FC 26, commentary did not work at all — neither Turkish nor English. The languages were visible in settings and game files, but there was no commentary sound during matches.

    What fixed it for me:
    1. In Steam Library, right-click EA SPORTS FC 26 → Properties.
    2. Change the game language to a DIFFERENT language (not Turkish or English).
    3. Close the Properties window.
    4. Steam immediately started downloading an update for that language.
    5. After the update finished, I went back to Properties and changed the language to Turkish.
    6. Closed the window again and Steam downloaded another update.
    7. After launching the game, Turkish commentary worked normally.

    It seems changing the Steam game language forces Steam to re-download the commentary audio files properly, which fixes the issue.

    Hopefully this helps others who are having the same problem.
