Recurring "Unable to connect to EA servers" error in FC 26
I'm experiencing a recurring "unable to connect to the servers" error in EA Sports FC 26 (PC via Steam), happening both when trying to launch the game and mid-match in Ultimate Team. I've already tried:
- Windows Firewall unblocked with manually created rules
- Game files verified/repaired via Steam (no corruption found)
- DNS changed to Cloudflare (both IPv4 and IPv6)
- Excellent internet connection: 750+ Mbps download, 1ms ping
- Clean tracert with no packet loss, reaching EA's servers via Akamai
- Tested without any third-party software running
I'd appreciate help checking whether this is an account-side issue or a server-side issue on EA's end. Thanks in advance.
