FC 26 PC crashes when opening Ultimate Team
FC 26 UT crashes due to EA Anti-Cheat executing heap memory (NX fault). Verified via WinDbg; not hardware or config related
Platform
Game: EA SPORTS FC 26 (PC)
Mode: Ultimate Team
OS: Windows 10 x64 (Build 19041)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1500x Quad Processor 3.50GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER (4GB)
RAM: A-DATA Technology DDR4 3200 3200 8589934592
Description
Opening Ultimate Team consistently crashes the game on PC.
Other modes (Career / Kick-Off) load normally.
The crash occurs shortly after the loading screen appears on UT and is 100% reproducible.
The expected result should be that UT loads normally
The actual result is that the game crashes with no error message to desktop
Technical Findings
I analyzed the crash dump with WinDbg. The crash is a user-mode NX execution fault inside the EA anti-cheat virtualization layer.
Key findings:
Exception Code: 0xC0000005 (Access Violation) Failure Bucket: SOFTWARE_NX_FAULT_INVALID_POINTER_EXECUTE IP_ON_HEAP: Attempt to execute non-executable memory Faulting module: FC26.exe Stack includes: ANTICHEAT_VIRTUALIZE_CODEMARKER
What I Have Already Tried
- Disabled Core Isolation / Memory Integrity
- Clean uninstall + reinstall of EA Anti-Cheat
- Verified game files
- Disabled overlays
- Confirmed Hyper-V is not active
- Rebooted between changes
- Uninstall/reinstall game
Additional Notes
This does not appear to be a hardware issue
Stack trace is clean, no memory corruption
Crash is specific to Ultimate Team (anti-cheat integrity path)
Please help me fix this soon
