problem to launch EA FC 26 on PC
the game closes itself right after the loading screen, with this message: "An unexpected game shutdown was detected. Please restart the game or contact EA Help if this continues. (0xFFFFFFFF)"
In Windows Event Viewer, the only related log entry is this one:
Source: EA Javelin Anticheat
Event ID: 1000
Message: "The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xFFFFFFFF"
there is no "Application Error" event with a faulting module attached — the anticheat simply terminates the process without any further detail.
What I've already tried,:
- Updated the GPU driver
- Installed Visual C++ Redistributables
- Installed DirectX Redistributables
- Fully reinstalled the game
- Ran Windows Update until no updates remained pending
- Confirmed Secure Boot is enabled and BIOS Mode is UEFI
- Confirmed Core Isolation / Memory Integrity is enabled
- Checked Windows Firewall exceptions for EA processes
- Repaired the game files through the EA App
- No third-party antivirus, VPN, only default Windows Defender
- Tested launching the game in windowed mode
