FC 26 Steam PC not launching — EA Javelin Anticheat crashes with 0xc0000374
Hello,
EA SPORTS FC 26 does not launch on Steam PC.
What happens:
EA Javelin Anticheat opens, checks/launches the game, then the game closes before the real FC 26 window appears.
Windows Reliability Monitor shows:
Faulting application: eaanticheat.gameservice.exe
Faulting module: ntdll.dll
Exception code: 0xc0000374
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\EA\AC\eaanticheat.gameservice.exe
My system:
Windows 11 Pro
Build: 26200.8737
Secure Boot: On
Platform: Steam PC
Laptop: Alienware x16 R1
What I already tried:
Steam verified files successfully.
EA AntiCheat / EA Javelin was uninstalled and reinstalled many times.
EA App cache was cleared.
Steam Overlay and EA Overlay were disabled.
Steam Cloud was disabled.
Clean boot was tested.
Windows Security did not block FC 26 or EA AntiCheat.
DISM was attempted but returned 0x800f0915.
SFC found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.
Windows Update and optional Dell/Microsoft driver updates were installed.
The issue remains.
Please escalate this as an EA Javelin Anticheat crash / compatibility issue. This is not a connection issue because the game does not launch.
