FC26 Not Launching

happened to me last night even though i’ve been playing normally every night for the past week. i think your game likely initialized on the stale Javelin and now your process is hung up on some sort of cache. the EA team didn’t know what the cause was.

I tried to diagnose and fix for hours with AI but to no avail. Claude told me to wait 24 hours to try again.

tried again tonight (24 hours after initial crash) and it worked. only thing different in the game files from last night to tonight is a different Javelin initialization code; almost as if my account was rolled back to a different EA server.

try again tomorrow night.

im getting similar issue , i had played fifa for almost 140 hrs and now it wont launch for no reason please helppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there,

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been unable to launch FC 26 for so long.

Could you please confirm whether you’ve already tried all the steps in our crashing and freezing troubleshooting guide, as well as our connection troubleshooting guide?

Please also try verifying the integrity of the game files and reinstalling EA Javelin Anticheat.

You mentioned that the game previously launched after replacing your %LOCALAPPDATA% folder, but then you couldn’t connect to the EA servers. Could you let me know the exact error message you received when the connection failed?

If the issue continues, please let me know whether Windows Event Viewer shows any related crash logs around the time it happens. You can also upload your full DxDiag report. Thanks.

Hi there,

Your description is different from the OP’s, so this may not be the same issue.

Based on the screenshot you provided, could you please try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify the integrity of the game files.
2. Add EA Javelin Anticheat and the game executable to your antivirus and Windows Defender allowlist/exclusions.
3. Launch the game as an administrator.
4. Uninstall and reinstall EA Javelin Anticheat.
5. Perform a clean boot to check whether a background application or service may be interfering with the game.

Let me know how it goes. Thanks.

Hey yeah def tried all of those and everything I could find online I'll upload my dxDiag and event viewer says "The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xFFFFFFFF" I also want to add that I have the same issue on madden 24  but other EA games like Battlefield 6 and SKATE work perfectly
