Madden NFL 26 PC silent crash on launch/relaunch (Epic Games, GTX 1660 SUPER)

ChatGPT told me to write this based on the issues I'm having with opening Madden 26 I am experiencing a consistent crash issue with Madden NFL 26 on PC. 

The game launches once in some cases, but then crashes silently on launch or relaunch with no error message.

After the crash, the Epic Games Launcher reopens automatically.

Platform: PC (Epic Games Launcher + EA App)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER

OS: Windows 10/11

I have already tried: Clean reinstall of Madden, EA App, and Epic Games Launcher Updating and rolling back NVIDIA drivers Restarting PC and clean launches

The issue began after a recent Madden update. EA Support has acknowledged this as a bug and reported it internally.
