FC26 Doesn't Start?

Hi everyone,

I bought FC26 yesterday as i wanted to get back into football games. But for some reason, everytime i launch it, the splash screen pops up, says the game is about to start, check task manager its there, then silently crashes and dies. Why? No error code, nothing informing me of what is causing this crash. I uninstalled vanguard, reinstalled GPU drivers, downgraded to 24h2 and every other little "fix" like verify game files.

I am stumped. Can someone help me?

  • Okay found a fix, make a new user account and have it be administrator. I believe some sort of windows optimising tutorial a lot of people go through disables some things which cause these issues.
    So make new user on your computer, give it admin, login and see if it works.

    Same, I tried to make a new user as said in the "solution" answer, but the same thing occurs. I run the game, the anti-cheat pops us and instead of launching the game, the EA app opens again. I legit quit this game for 3 months and came back because the boys wanted to start clubs again, but this just reminded me why I quit this game in the first place

    I tried this as well, unfortunately doesn’t help with the issue I’m having. it still crashes out to EA App home page every time.

    I’ve had a similar thing, game start from EA App but crashes instantly, I don’t even get into any menu. Tried everything. I have a thread in here too explaining what I’ve done with no success.  

    seems EA Forum mods do not reply in here either with suggestions.

    Nope, nothing yet. I was thinking of putting pc into safe mode, uninstalling and reinstalling anti cheat. I believe its the only reason why we cannot start.
