wont launch past splash screen, i've tried every fix i could find in the internet. Eventviewer gives this error, The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0x186AA.
Troubleshooting already completed:
Fully uninstalled and reinstalled EA app
Fully uninstalled and reinstalled the game
Repaired and reinstalled EAAntiCheat.GameService using EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe (both Repair and Uninstall All then fresh install)
Confirmed EAAntiCheat.GameService.exe is present, correct file size, and has a valid digital signature
Confirmed no missing service dependencies
Confirmed Secure Boot is enabled with updated 2023 CA certificates present
Confirmed TPM is present, ready, enabled, activated, and owned
Updated motherboard BIOS to the latest version (Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX V2, F42b, updated AGESA)
Tested with all non Microsoft startup services and apps disabled in a clean boot, same crash still happens
Ruled out overlay software conflicts including Discord, GeForce Experience, MSI Afterburner, Razer Synapse, and RGB software
The game worked correctly on this exact Windows installation and hardware as recently as November, no major hardware changes since then
System info:

Gigabyte B650 GAMING X AX V2 motherboard. i’m sure this would be helpful in some way even though it doesn’t matter cause there’s so solution to this error code
i know previously you had mentioned to OP that they were on a windows 11 build version, i’m also on that version, i’m not sure how this could ever be a problem considering it had previously worked with all my current hardware
