EAFC 26 keeps crashing – EAAntiCheatService exit code 0xC0000005

Question

Hi, I'm experiencing constant crashes in EAFC 26 on PC. The game closes after 2-5 minutes in a match without any error popup. Event Viewer shows:

EAAntiCheatService
The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005

My specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i9-13900KF
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2080 (tested with latest driver 581.42 and rollback 552.44)
- RAM: 32 GB DDR5
- OS: Windows 11 64-bit (Memory Integrity ON)

Troubleshooting already tried:
- Reinstalled EA App, EAFC 26, and EA Anti-Cheat
- Changed installation folder and drive
- Updated and rolled back NVIDIA drivers
- Reinstalled Visual C++ Redistributables (x86 and x64)
- Ran sfc /scannow and DISM
- Disabled all overlays and background apps
- Memory Integrity ON in Core Isolation

Despite all this, the game still crashes mid-match with the same Anti-Cheat error.

Please escalate this issue – it seems to be a bug with EA AntiCheat.

Same thing here, same error and EA does not say nothing, Mods here don't give answers about this problem, nothing, thousands of players spending and having this kind of basic issue.
