Javelin Anticheat -1 Pointer Crash (0xC0000005) - FC26>FC27, WinDbg Evidence
I've spent 5+ weeks documenting this bug across FC26 and now FC27 with WinDbg, and I've also seen other players in this forum (e.g. the "Cannot launch EA FC 27 through Steam" thread by ColdBallerx, and nightfighter_967's comment there) independently hitting the exact same signature. Posting this as its own thread so the full technical picture is in one place. THE BUG: Javelin Anticheat crashes with Access Violation (0xC0000005) at the exact same target address — 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (-1) — in multiple contexts: Kernel driver eaanticheat.sys → full Windows BSOD (BugCheck 0x1E), reproduced on both FC26 and FC27 EAAntiCheat.GameService.dll → silent crash (fc27.exe exited unexpectedly) EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.dll_b (patch-time binary) → same pattern This exact "-1" address is the textbook signature of an unchecked INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE being dereferenced — likely in code shared between the kernel driver and its user-mode counterpart. OTHER PLAYERS HITTING THE SAME THING: - nightfighter_967 (in the ColdBallerx thread) reported the identical address 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, on a Ryzen 9 9950X3D / RTX 5090 / 64GB RAM system — ruling out weak hardware as a cause. - ColdBallerx independently found that eaanticheat.sys is missing from C:\Windows\System32\drivers even after a "successful" reinstall — I confirmed the exact same finding on my system. WHAT I'VE RULED OUT (so please don't suggest these — all tested, none fixed it): - Hardware (RAM/GPU/SSD — all verified healthy) - Windows Defender exclusions / Exploit Protection (CFG, Stack Protection) - 4 different VPN configurations + 2 different mobile carriers - EA App Offline Mode - Presence/absence of a debugger on the system - Full clean reinstall of the anticheat AND the entire game + full registry wipe (multiple times) The crash is intermittent — consistent with a race condition rather than a fixed environmental cause. I've had runs that crash instantly and one that lasted ~8 minutes of actual gameplay before crashing. STATUS: I've submitted a full technical report (case #254133022, resumed) with WinDbg dump analysis. Given this bug persisted unresolved from FC26 into FC27 and is clearly affecting multiple players independently (not an isolated config issue), I'm asking EA to escalate this to an actual Javelin Anticheat engineer rather than Tier-1 troubleshooting scripts (clean boot / run as admin / secure boot do not touch this). Happy to share raw .dmp files or my full report with anyone from EA who can actually look at the code. If you're hitting the same 0xC0000005 crash or the exact 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF address, please comment below with your specs — the more of us documented in one place, the harder this is to ignore.FC 27 EA Play Trial says I already played, but I haven't
Hello, I have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and my subscription is active. I just installed the FC 27 EA Play Trial on my Xbox Series S. I have never launched or played the FC 27 trial before. When I try to start the trial, the game immediately says something like “Thank you for playing” and asks me to buy the full version. I have not used any of my trial time. Could you please check why my trial is showing as already used? Thank you.
The player I am controlling stops running and stands still.
For years, I've been used to pressing the sprint button to apply pressure. But in FC27, when I press the sprint button, the player I'm controlling just freezes standing still for 2 3 seconds and the opponent takes advantage of it to run forward toward the goal.disconnected every 5 minute
i got disconnected every 5 minutes in the game, no matter am i in the games or on the main screen,i would get a information that i couldnt get connected with the EA server. its pissing me off because i ve been looking forward to it and i cant even finish a single game. i get disconnected during matches against AI, i tried all the ways, like playing with a privite network and playing with VPN on, i still would be kicked out of the online service every 1-5 minuteNo loss glitch of course FC27
I was a top player in FIFAs Season Mode, but I often experienced matches being ruled as No Contest, meaning that even though I won, the match didnt count. This is incredibly frustrating. Sometimes, I get so shaken by this that I lose my next match. This issue has been around for years, and although it was patched at the end of FC24, the bug has reappeared in FC25. Throughout FC 26, EA turned a blind eye to this bug. Even though countless players reported it, it was never properly fixed, and people are still dealing with it today. After one update, it did feel like the chances of a match being voided midway through were reduced, but I cannot say that for certain. I bought FC 27 hoping this bug would finally be gone. My guess is that the problem lies deep within the game’s underlying architecture, and I can imagine how difficult that must make things for the team responsible for updates. I genuinely sympathize with them, but that does not justify ignoring the issue. You had an entire year. Why did no one make fixing the underlying cause of these voided matches a priority? Even the timed-finishing indicator bug is back. Nothing has improved. Why does this bug exist again? Why does a football game invalidate a match even when I win? The cause seems to be that when an opponent, after losing, turns off their console, there is a certain probability that the match will be nullified. Every time a match gets disconnected, I feel extremely anxious. I even tried quitting through the pause menu to avoid the bug. My proposed solution is to change the system so that, instead of forcing players to return to the lobby, the game takes the time to load and log the match situation immediately after a disconnect. This way, the result can be processed and finalized within the match itself.Locked out of evolutions
I accidentally deleted the player that was submitted to the one-time “Intro to Evolutions” Evolution. The Intro to Evolutions is now unavailable on my account and my First Team Dreams “Chalk Talk” objective remains 0/1. I need the Evolution restored/reset so I can complete the Foundations progression and I cannot now enter the transfer market
Connecting to football ultimate team is not possible
I purchased an EA Play Pro subscription specifically to play EA Sports FC 27 Ultimate Team, but I have been completely unable to access the mode for over 24 hours. Every time I try to enter, I receive the error message: "Connecting to Football Ultimate Team is not possible at this time. You will return to the main menu." I have already attempted all standard troubleshooting steps (restarting the game, logging out of the EA App, checking server status, verifying network connections), and nothing resolves the issue. Given that I have paid for a subscription service (EA Play Pro) and cannot use its primary feature, this is completely unacceptable. Please provide an immediate fix for this account connection issue or process a full refund for my EA Play Pro subscription. Account Email:[edit: email address removed] Platform: PC (EA App) Looking forward to a prompt resolution.Deconnexion en plein match
Bonjour, Je signale un problème récurrent de déconnexions en cours de match sur EA SPORTS FC 26, mode Division Rivals, sur PS5. Détails : Plateforme : PS5, connexion Ethernet filaire (PYUR) Deux déconnexions consécutives le 19/09/2026 à 00h11 et 00h17 (heure locale), toutes deux en Division Rivals Mon Connection Quality Report pour ces deux matchs indique : Ping 17-19ms, Jitter ~1ms, Packet Loss 0%, score 99/100, qualité "Great" (captures d'écran jointes) Ce problème existait déjà sur EA FC 26 et persiste sur EA FC 27, uniquement sur les jeux EA Aucun problème similaire sur d'autres jeux en ligne exigeants (Call of Duty Warzone, F1 25) sur la même connexion filaire Comportement du bug : si je mène ou suis à égalité au moment de la déconnexion, le match est compté nul ; si je suis mené, il est compté comme défaite Ma connexion étant certifiée "Great" par vos propres outils de mesure au moment exact des déconnexions, je pense qu'il s'agit d'un problème côté infrastructure/matchmaking P2P EA plutôt que d'un problème de connexion de mon côté. Pourriez-vous investiguer et me confirmer s'il y a un incident connu sur les serveurs Rivals à ces horaires ? Je souhaiterais également que ces matchs ne soient pas comptabilisés négativement dans mon classement Rivals. Merci d'avance pour votre aide. Cordialement,
