FC26 Unplayable – EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe Crashing Mid-Match

Hello,

Issue summary:

FC26 crashes mid-match every single time without exception. I have never completed a single match since purchasing the game.

Root cause identified via Windows Event Viewer:

• APPCRASH — EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe — Exception code c0000005 (Access Violation)

• Event ID 1000 — EA Javelin Anticheat — "Invalid argument count"

• Event ID 7034 — EAAntiCheatService terminated unexpectedly

The crash originates inside EA's own anticheat software (EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe), not from my system or configuration.

My system: ASUS ROG Strix Scar G533ZM, Intel i7-12700H, RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, 16GB RAM, Windows 11 Home 25H2.

Troubleshooting already completed:

- Multiple full clean reinstalls of FC26 and EA Anticheat

- Cleared all EA App and game caches

- Removed all other EA titles to eliminate service conflicts

- Manually deleted and re-registered EAAntiCheatService via Command Prompt

- Windows SFC scan (found and repaired corrupted files) and DISM

- DDU clean GPU driver reinstall

- Disabled Armoury Crate, PowerToys, all overlays and background software

- Adjusted GPU, Windows Game Mode, and display settings

Given that the game is unplayable due to a confirmed bug in EA's own software, and given the extensive effort I have put into resolving this without success, I am requesting a full refund. I am also happy for this to be escalated to your technical team as a bug report.

Thank you for your time.
