Community ManagerHi 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.
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

Thanks for sharing your DxDiag report.
Please try:
- Free space on the C: drive.
- Install all available Windows updates and restart your PC.
- Delete the machine.ini file, then try launching the game again.
- Right-click the game’s executable file and select Properties. Go to the Digital Signatures tab and manually reinstall or update the relevant security certificates if available.
- Open Windows Defender Firewall settings and manually add an inbound rule/exception for the game’s main executable.
- Disable fullscreen optimizations to rule out rendering conflicts during startup. Right-click the game executable, select Properties > Compatibility, and enable Disable fullscreen optimizations.
- Repair the Windows system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. Once that completes, run:
sfc /scannow
Please let me know whether any of these steps makes a difference.
Unfortunately no change after trying those steps
