FC 26 Crashing on startup

For the past two months, FC 26 has been crashing nonstop after about 1–2 hours of gameplay. Now, after two months of dealing with these crashes, I can't even open the game anymore. When I launch it, it gets to the loading screen and then crashes. Please help me.

    Hey dzidzka3​,

    Sorry to hear that the game has been crashing on you over the last two months. 

    If you haven't given these a try yet, here are some troubleshooting steps that might address the crashing:


    Let us know if the crashing persists afterward, thanks! 

  • Hello EA_mplsnow​ Thank you for reply

    I've already tried all the common fixes: closing background apps, updating my graphics drivers, performing a clean boot, reinstalling FC 26 and the EA App multiple times, repairing the game files, and enabling V-Sync.

    However, none of these have helped. As I mentioned, the game now crashes on startup—it gets to the loading screen and then immediately crashes to desktop. Any help would be appreciated.

    No problem dzidzka3​

    Just to confirm, please make sure none of the .exe files related to EA, the game, or anti-cheat are running on administrator mode. After that, please try the steps below to continue troubleshooting: 

    • Disable all overlays (Discord, Steam, EA App, NVIDIA, etc.) 
    • Reinstall EAAntiCheat
    • Reinstall Microsoft C++ Redistributables 
    • Temporarily disable anti-virus software, or add EA-related .exe files as exceptions to your anti-virus software and Windows Defender 


    Some players have found rolling back their drivers to an older version helpful as well. 

    If the crashing continues, please upload a DxDiag report and keep us updated, thanks!
