FC 27 Lite crashes after "Launching game" - 0xc000001d

Hello,

EA SPORTS FC 27 Lite (Steam) closes by itself right after the EA Javelin Anticheat stage reaches "Launching game...". There is no error message on screen, and I return to the Steam library.

Event Viewer (Application log) shows:

- Faulting application name: FC27_Showcase.exe, version 1.0.0.0

- Faulting module name: FC27_Showcase.exe

- Exception code: 0xc000001d (Illegal Instruction)

- Fault offset: 0x000000001533d1c4

- Path: C:\EA SPORTS FC 27\FC27_Showcase.exe

My system:

- CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 (Ivy Bridge)

- Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-S2P

- GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB

- RAM: 16 GB DDR3

- OS: Windows 11 (build 26100)

- BIOS Mode: UEFI, Secure Boot: On

- TPM: not found (tpm.msc says "Compatible TPM cannot be found")

FC 26 ran fine on this same PC.

Since 0xc000001d usually means the CPU does not support an instruction, I suspect the game now requires newer CPU instructions (such as AVX2), which Ivy Bridge does not have.

Thank you.
