17 hours agoHi there, and thanks for joining our forums. Here are some steps you can try first if your game does not launch on Steam.
- Fully close Steam, EA App, and FC 26 in Task Manager.
- Make sure you don't launch the game in compatibility mode with any older system version.
- Go to C:\Users\<your Windows username>\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26 and delete fcsetup, settings, and Umcache. (AppData is a hidden folder.)
- In Steam, run Verify integrity of game files for FC 26.
- Repair or reinstall EA Javelin, then restart the PC.
- Try launching again with overlays/background apps closed first (Discord overlay, MSI Afterburner/RTSS, Xbox Game Bar, mod tools, VPNs, other anti-cheat tools). If needed, also try running Steam and EA App as administrator.
- Run a clean boot mode.
