FC 26 – DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED crash on RTX 4070

When launching EA SPORTS FC 26 on my laptop, the game only runs on the Intel Iris integrated GPU (Power Saving mode). If I force the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, the game crashes immediately with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED. Driver version is 58129.

I have already tried clean reinstalling NVIDIA drivers, fully updating Windows 11, verifying and repairing game files in EA App, forcing RTX 4070 through Windows graphics settings and NVIDIA Control Panel, disabling overlays, and lowering graphics settings. None of these solved the issue.

My system specs: Windows 11 Pro, Intel i7 (13th Gen), NVIDIA RTX 4070 Laptop GPU (Driver 58129), Intel Iris Xe integrated GPU, 16 GB RAM.

Request: Please advise if there is an official fix for this issue. Does FC 26 support forcing DirectX 11 mode (-dx11)? Or is there a known compatibility issue with RTX 40-series GPUs and DirectX 12?

Thank you.
