False Security Violation error
-------------------------- Security Violation --------------------------- EA AntiCheat has detected an incompatible driver. Please update or disable 'c:\program files (x86)\evga\flow control\kernel\driver-x64.sys' and restart.

The EVGA Flow control is my CPU water cooling device drivers. I have checked online on the EVGA website and there has not been an update since 2022. I would not disable this water cooling device to play any game as keeping the CPU cool has priority. Please could you check the compatibility issue. Thanks Jack
FC 25 launch BSOD in eaanticheat.sys: same +0x18905d9 crash as FC 26 report
EA SPORTS FC 25 on Steam now causes a reproducible Windows blue screen on two PCs that used the game successfully for about a year. Both show SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (0x3B) naming eaanticheat.sys. The failures began at roughly the same time. On one PC I analyzed four minidumps (10 and 15 September 2026) with WinDbg. All four show exception 0xC0000005 at eaanticheat.sys+0x18905d9 and failure hash {ba758836-7880-e66a-acd0-8452c9260e6f}. The driver image in the dumps is timestamped 31 August 2026. The faulting instruction reads address 0x30 from r14=0x28. I preserved the modded game folders as backups, restored original Data and Patch folders, verified all 54.6 GB of game files through Steam, and Steam replaced one failed file. The active installation had no mod markers or mods.txt and no Steam launch options. I also reinstalled EA Javelin anticheat and stopped MSI Afterburner, RivaTuner, and RTCore64. The next FC 25 launch still produced the identical BSOD. I will not repeat the launch until a meaningful change is available because each test forces a Windows restart. This FC 26 report shows exactly the same driver offset, instruction, and failure hash on different hardware after an anticheat reinstall and clean boot: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/fc-26-technical-issues-en/reproducible-bsod-caused-by-eaanticheat-sys-%E2%80%93-system-service-exception-0x3b/13702508 EA_Barry, could you pass this additional FC 25 cross-title reproduction to the EA Javelin engineering team and advise whether a supported driver fix or safe workaround is available? I can provide the raw minidumps and WinDbg output privately on request.
FC 25 not launching
FC 25 installed via Xbox Game Pass on PC. Game launches to splash screen then crashes. Event Viewer shows EA Javelin Anticheat Event ID 1000, fc25.exe exited unexpectedly with exit code 0xFFFFFFFF. Issue started around 21-22 May 2026. Verified game files, reinstalled EA Anticheat, SFC scan clean, all drivers up to date. Valorant and other games work fine

Controller Fix
If your controller doesn’t work or the game won’t detect it (especially in games using anti-cheat like EA AntiCheat or Easy Anti-Cheat), try this: 🔧 Solution: Turn OFF Bluetooth completely on your PC/laptop Connect your controller using a USB cable Launch the game Once the game is running, you can: keep using USB or turn Bluetooth back on (optional, may still work wirelessly) ⸻ ❗ Why this works: When Bluetooth is ON, Windows may detect the controller twice: once as a wireless device once as a wired device This can confuse the anti-cheat system, which may block the controller entirely. ⸻ 🧠 Conclusion: ❌ Bluetooth ON at launch = controller not detected ✅ Bluetooth OFF + USB at launch = works perfectly ⸻ This is a simple fix, but it solves a lot of controller issues in anti-cheat protected games 👍
