Game Not Launching From Steam FC26

"Hi, I'm having an issue launching EA Sports FC 26 on PC. I purchased the game through Steam. Every time I try to launch it, the EasyAntiCheat briefly runs but then the game immediately closes and sends me back to the EA App with no error message.

I have tried the following steps but nothing worked:

  • Verified game files on Steam
  • Repaired EasyAntiCheat service
  • Reinstalled EA App completely
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled FC26
  • Ran everything as administrator
  • Updated Windows and all drivers
  • Launched from both Steam and EA App directly

The game shows as installed in my EA App library but it never launches. This has been the case since I first installed it, it has never worked once. Please help me resolve this issue."

    Hi, thank you for the response! Here is the DxDiag file as requested. Also I wanted to ask, could this issue be caused by my PC not meeting the compatibility requirements for FC26? The game has never launched even once since I installed it, just wanted to rule that out. Looking forward to your help

    I also noticed multiple LiveKernelEvent 141 errors in my DxDiag which I have since fixed by doing a clean GPU driver reinstall using DDU, however the issue with FC26 still persists after the driver fix.

    Looking at your system you seem to meet the specs, so that shouldn't be the issue.

    I'm guessing that the error (or lack thereof) hasn't changed at all since you did the clean GPU install either?

    Could you try using the system file checker to repair potentially corrupt system files that could be causing issues?

    Also, just to check: are you having issues with other games as well, or is it just FC 26?

    I ran the system file checker and it did find and repair some corrupt system files, however FC26 still does not launch — the anti cheat briefly runs and then it just goes straight back to the EA App with no error message. Also to answer your question, all my other games work perfectly fine, it is only FC26 that has this issue.
