FC 26 crashes immediately on launch - black screen then closes

Hi, I've been playing FC 26 for 3 months without any issues, but suddenly the game stopped working. When I launch the game, a black window appears for a few seconds and then closes immediately. The exit code is 0xFFFFFFFF.

In Windows Event Viewer, I found this error:

  • Faulting application: EADesktop.exe
  • Faulting module: ntdll.dll
  • Exception code: 0xc0000374 (heap corruption)

Things I have already tried:

  • Reinstalled the game multiple times
  • Reinstalled EA App
  • Reinstalled EA AntiCheat
  • Updated/reinstalled Visual C++ Redistributables (x64 and x86)
  • Cleared EA App cache and AppData folders
  • Updated Nvidia drivers
  • Disabled Windows Defender real-time protection
  • Ran sfc /scannow - no issues found
  • Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic - no errors found
  • Added -dx11 launch argument

My setup:

  • Windows 11
  • Nvidia GPU
  • HP Victus 15
  • Game purchased on Epic Games, launched via EA App

Please help, I have tried everything I can think of.
