Community ManagerThanks for trying. Try these next:
- Run the System File Checker. Open an elevated Command Prompt and run sfc /scannow. When that completes, run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.
- Perform a Clean Boot of Windows. Disable every non-Microsoft startup service. Razer, Nahimic, MSI, RGB software, Logitech, ASUS Armoury and Corsair iCue.
If you still crash, look for logfiles at C:\ProgramData\EAANTICHEAT\ and C:\Program Files\EA Games\FC26\__Installer\EAAntiCheat\. You can also look in the Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application. Find the error for fc26.exe and then get me the faulting module, exception code and fault offset.
that seemed to do something but the game still wont launch.
this was in the eventviewer

i tried it a few times and it always gives these two.- EA_Aljo
Thank you.
Completely reinstall the EA App. Don't just uninstall it. After it's installed, delete these:
- C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\EA Desktop
- C:\ProgramData\Electronic Arts
- %LocalAppData%\Electronic Arts
- %AppData%\Electronic Arts
- EA Background Service (check in Services for this. It may or may not be there)
Launch the EA App directly and check for it to open normally. Can you browse your library and click on FC26 or does the launcher crash?Temporarily uninstall or completely disable these. Also, make sure they are not running Task Manager
- Razer Synapse
- MSI Afterburner
- RTSS
- Discord overlay
- NVIDIA Overlay
- GeForce Experience overlay
- Overwolf
- ReShade
- OBS
- Medal
Close these:- OVRServer_x64.exe
- OVRService
- Meta Quest Link
Disable the Meta Virtual Monitor and rebootUnder Windows Security, temporarily disable Controlled Folder Access
Try bypassing Steam. Go to ...\Steam\steamapps\common\EA SPORTS FC 26\ and run fc26.exe
If none of this helps, get me a WER report. Look in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive or C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue. Look for a folder that starts with AppCrash_EASteamLauncher... There should be a file named Report.wer. Just attach it to a response.
none of them seemed to do anything, so here's the wer report, i had to change it to a text file since i couldnt attach it to the reply for some reason.
this also is from last night since i couldnt access the ones for today, hope it still helps.
