Game crashes when I try to connect to online services

Game has ran fine for months, last night I could not connect to EA servers and the game will always crash when I try. I launch the game, EA anti cheat starts up with that black window, FC 26 launches...

That's understandable. I was just noting someone else's solution that could possibly help. Here are some suggestions after reviewing your DxDiag.

  1. Reinstall EA AntiCheat. Don't just repair it. Make sure it's fully reinstalled. Go to C:\Program Files\EA\AC\EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe. Run this as an admin and select FC 26. Then uninstall AntiCheat. Reboot, run the installer again, install AntiCheat and reboot again.
  2. Disable all nonessential USB/HID devices before launch. 8BitDo controller, Logitech receiver, Razer Huntsman hooks, multiple HID virtual devices. Before you launch the game, unplug the controller and logitech receiver. Close synapse completely, disable Razer services temporarily and disable Steam input if using Steam. Test using only keyboard and mouse.
  3. Clear the FC Online Profile Cache. Delete Documents\EA SPORTS FC 26\Settings and C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26. Then, launch the game offline. If that works, launch it online.
  4. Reset the Windows networking stack

    </>

    netsh winsock reset
    netsh int ip reset
    ipconfig /flushdns

    Reboot

  5. Disable IPv6 temporarily. This can be done under the properties for your network adaptor
  6. Skip the cloud sync. In the EA App go to settings > Disable cloud saves. Then, delete local FC profile/settings again. Launch offline once then try online
  7. Use DDU to install a known stable driver. 24.8.1 or 24.5.1. Use DDU in Safe Mode to do this. Also, disable Windows automatic driver updates temporarily so it's not automatically updated. Reboot and try again.
  8. Perform a clean boot. Hide all MS services and disable all remaining services. Startup tab > disable all startup apps. Reboot and try FC 26 online.
  9. You can also try creating a new Windows user. Run the EA App from there and start the game. If this works, it's a corrupt profile issue.
  10. If you still crash, check the Event Viewer and look for FC26.exe, EAAntiCheat, amdxx64.dll, ntdlll.dll, and kernelbase.dlll. Let me know what the faulting module name and exception code are.


Give these a shot and let me know what happens. Thanks!

    Thank you. For future reference, everyone's DxDiag is going to be different and the suggestions I have pertain to their system only. Since most everyone's PC isn't the same, it's best to let us review your DxDiag and make suggestions before trying someone else's. Anyway, here are some suggestions based on yours.

    1. You have a very new Nvidia driver. Try a clean reinstall of it or rollback to a known stable, Game Ready/Studio driver
    2. Your Windows build looks like it's non-standard or new. Is it an Insider build? You should try the latest sable Windows release
    3. See if there's an update for your MediaTek MT7921 driver. You could try testing using a wired connection. If that works, it could be that MediaTek driver since that's for your PC's Wi-Fi.
    4. It looks like you have Nahimic audio components, OBS Virtual Camera and Lenovo camera/effects. Disble or uninstall overlays and virtual devices temporarily. Overlays from the EA App, Discord, GeForce, OBS virtual cam, Nahimic/Sonic audio enhancements.
    5. Also, repair the EA App and FC 26 files. Then, reinstall EA AntiCheat


    Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
