FC26 Crashing On Launch

For the past month and a half, 90% of the time when I attempt to launch FC 26 I will get the mini window that "Launching EA Anti-Cheat" and then I will be sent back to the EA window. Other times it will open the game, and the second I click on the screen it will crash. The other 10% of the time the game will launch and run fine but it may take more than 10 attempts for the game to fully launch, or sometimes it wont launch at all. I have a decently high end gaming computer with a Ryzen 7 5800x, 3080 ti, and 32 GB of RAM and this was never an issue prior to the first time it happened. As of recently there have been multiple occurrences where I've attempted to play with a friend and the game would simply refuse to launch. I pre-ordered this game within the ultimate edition and have recently not been able to play one of my favorite games. Please help me find a solution for this extremely persistent and annoying issue I am facing.

    • ​Go to the folder where the game is installed (usually Program Files\EA Games\EA SPORTS FC 26).
    • ​Right-click on FC26.exe and select Properties.
    • ​Go to the Compatibility tab and check the box "Disable fullscreen optimizations".
    • ​Click on "Change high DPI settings" and check the box "Override high DPI scaling behavior" (set "Scaling performed by:" to Application).

    Do you have BitDefender installed? I have seen others with the same issue that also use BitDefender. If so, disable it and try again.

    Hi there. Do you happen to have Bitdefender running? If so, try disabling it and then try launching FC 26 again. Let me know if this helps or not. Thanks!
