FC26 PC launches Javelin AntiCheat, opens black window, then closes to EA App

FC26 will not launch on my PC.

What happens:

  • EA Javelin AntiCheat loads normally
  • FC26 opens as a black window
  • After a few seconds, the game closes
  • I am returned to the EA App
  • No error message or error code appears

F1 25 launches normally through the same EA App, so this appears to be specific to FC26.

Troubleshooting already completed:

  • Reinstalled FC26 completely
  • Repaired the game files
  • Cleared the EA App cache
  • Reinstalled EA Javelin AntiCheat
  • Ran the EA App as administrator
  • Confirmed BIOS mode is UEFI
  • Confirmed Secure Boot is enabled
  • Confirmed TPM 2.0 is ready
  • Performed a clean boot
  • Disabled overlays and unnecessary background software
  • Removed VPN software
  • Reset/renamed the FC26 local settings folders
  • Repaired/reinstalled both x86 and x64 Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables
  • Restarted the PC after each relevant change

PC details:

  • Windows 11
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
  • Secure Boot enabled
  • TPM 2.0 enabled

EA Support has confirmed that the issue has been reported as a potential bug, but no fix has been provided yet.

Is anyone else experiencing the exact same Javelin AntiCheat → black window → return to EA App issue? Please upvote or reply with your PC specifications and anything that fixed it.

    Hey there. Thanks for getting in touch. I saw your other response, but didn't want to clutter up that thread since it pertains to someone else's issue. I reviewed your DxDiag. Here are some suggestions:

    1. You don't have much hard drive space available. You're at about 16 GB free. Try freeing up another 30 - 40 GM of space
    2. There are multiple virtual audio devices on your PC. Try disabling these as a test: Voicemod, SteelSeries Sonar, Oculus services, VB Audio Cable, OBS Virtual Camera
    3. Exit Meta Quest Link completely and disable the Meta Virtual Monitor Device. Then, reboot and try FC 26 again
    4. If you started having this issue after updating the driver, perform a clean installation of the current driver or roll back to the previous Game Ready driver


    Let me know what happens. Thanks!
