FC26 constant crashing

Almost every time I load up FC26 on PC, it crashes after a certain amount of time, just crashes to desktop and that's it.

I have tried a number of different fixes online but none of them did a trick for me, I am contemplating on reinstalling my OS once again because I really don't see what else I can do.

Did anyone have the same problem, and what did you do that helped fixing the issue?

My pc is way over the system requirements for the game and I don't think there is a hardware problem, at least not an obvious one.

    I am sorry this is happening to you, but I am glad I am not the only one, cause I was going crazy trying to solve it since last night, and nothing worked. This is the first response I have got from anyone in more than 12 hours.

  • Exact same issue for me as jegervladimir.

    Game has ran fine for months, last night I could not connect to EA servers and the game will always crash when I try. I launch the game, EA anti cheat starts up with that black window, FC 26 launches, I select my profile, try to connect online and it crashes. If I choose not to connect, play offline, I can navigate the menus fine. As soon as I try to connect online, it crashes with no error message and relaunches the EA App. I also checked performance diagnostics during game run (CPU, GPU, memory load) and it seems fine - no spikes, below 75% memory use.

    I have 5800x3d CPU, 16gb RAM, 7800xt GPU. The game has run flawlessly for months before this.

    I have tried: 

    • deleting localappdata and programdata files
    • fresh install of EA App
    • run game as admin
    • turn off firewall
    • allow exceptions within windows defender/virus detect for EA folders
    • closing all overlays, background programs not necessary
    • rollback AMD GPU drivers to 23.6.1 using AMD Driver cleaner program in safe boot mode
    • Repair FC 26 within EA App
    • My bios is fine, Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 enabled (I had to update all this to play Warzone several months ago)
    • Windows updated

    This seems like a widespread issue for many PC users on EA or Steam app. It is NOT an issue with hardware, this is absolutely an online issue or the game files or the anti-cheat when trying to connect online.

  • Can't believe no one answered to this since January. For me it started happening last night, just two hours before that I have played the game normally. For me it crashes every time when connecting to servers just after "retrieving files from servers" message. If I go play offline on startup I can get to the main menu but it crashes again after I try to connect to the servers. Have you resolved the issue?
