Game Not Starting

EA Sports FC 26 will not launch on Windows 11 25H2.

 

On Windows 11 version 25H2, EA Anti-Cheat service (EAAntiCheatService) will not start and remains STOPPED.

 

Event Viewer shows:

EAAntiCheatService - The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code 0xFFFFFFFF

 

The game briefly shows the splash screen, then closes and EA App displays "Failed to launch game - An error on our end".

 

Memory Integrity, Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform, and Windows Hypervisor Platform are all disabled.

Secure Boot is enabled.

 

Clean reinstall of EA App, EA Anti-Cheat, and EA Sports FC 26 does not resolve the issue.

 

System:

Windows 11 25H2

Ryzen 5 3600

GTX 1660 Super

    For me its even worse. Everytime I hit play. my pc crashes. I don't know if downgrading to 24h2 will help but its still Ea's fault because every other game works for me.
