FC 26 fails to launch after EA Anti-Cheat, loops back to EA App (Steam)

Hi EA Support,

I am facing a launch issue with EA SPORTS FC 26 on Steam. The game completely refuses to start.

The Problem:

I click PLAY on Steam.

The EA Anti-Cheat splash screen pops up and loads completely.

As soon as the Anti-Cheat window closes, the game does not open. It silently crashes and forcibly opens the EA App interface. Steam button just goes back to PLAY.

There are no error codes or crash messages at all.

I have already tried running as admin, clearing cache, and verifying game files, but nothing works. Please check this issue and provide a fix as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Hi there. Thanks for reaching out. I'll see if I can help with this. I'd like you to generate a DxDiag report. I'll review that for any issues that might be causing this. Instructions for gathering the report can be found in this article. Thanks!
