FC 26 Crashing on startup

So every time I launch the game it crashes a bit after the shader loading phase, where it says the club is yours.

Sometimes it crashes and opens the ea app and lets me play and sometimes it crashes and i have to wait like 5 minutes before it realizes it crashed (task manager doesn't affect it at all).

I tried repairing it but nothing changed

I have to try to load it (and for it to inevitably crash) atleast 7 times before being able to play at all

My systems specs are:

Ryzen 73700x

Rtx 2060 Super

16gb ram

I set my max fps to 60

    Hey Jon1Kastr​ You can try deleting your old settings folder* — it might’ve gotten corrupted. Then, go through the steps mentioned in this post and see if that fixes the issue.

    *Make a copy and delete the existing settings folder from this location C:\Users[Username]\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26 (AppData is usually a hidden folder, so it can be made visible from the View dropdown.)

    Since the update last week i haven´t been able to launch FC26 at all... it crash 20 seconds in got something to do with my account since the same thing happened when i logged into my account on my friends computer. Something with EA launcher and my account is off, i think many others have this problem

  • UPDATE: 
    Not only does it still take forever to load
    as of today I literally havent been able to get to the game after 5+ hours of trying
    it just opens the anticheat and after a few minutes without launching the fc26.exe app basically it just opens the ea app and makes me launch it again
    repaired the game, restarted countless times, running everything on administrator
