FC 26 Launch Error – Javelin AntiCheat Error 87
Hello EA Team and Community, I have been unable to launch EA SPORTS FC 26 on my PC for several weeks. Whenever I click Play in the EA App, it gets stuck on "Launching game…" and FC26.exe never starts. My PC specifications: Laptop: ASUS TUF Gaming F15 CPU: Intel Core i5-12500H GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3050 Laptop GPU (4 GB) RAM: 16 GB OS: Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.9457) Errors reported: EA Javelin AntiCheat service terminates with Error 87 (0x57): "The parameter is incorrect." Windows Event Viewer – Service Control Manager Event ID 7023 reports that EAAntiCheatService terminated with the same error. EA Javelin AntiCheat – Event ID 1000 reports "Invalid argument count." Troubleshooting already performed: Repaired EA Javelin AntiCheat using the official installer. Verified the AntiCheat service installation and registry ImagePath. Ran EA App as Administrator. Restarted the PC and installed the latest Windows update. Confirmed UEFI mode and Secure Boot are enabled. Checked Windows Event Viewer and AntiCheat service logs. The AntiCheat installer reports successful installation, but the service still terminates with Error 87. FC 25 launches and works normally on the same PC. The issue appears specific to FC 26 and its Javelin AntiCheat initialization. I have also submitted an EA diagnostic report. Report ID: f2397719-a552-4b74-a678-b9c00d3ec9b9 Could EA's AntiCheat technical team please investigate this issue? Is this a known Javelin AntiCheat compatibility problem, and is there a confirmed fix or workaround? I would appreciate any help from EA Support or other players who have experienced the same errors. Thank you.EA SPORTS FC 26 Crashing at Menu Stage - EA Javelin Anti-Cheat Event ID 1000
Hello,My game is consistently force-closing back to the desktop without an error message right at the main menu stage. The game executes fine past the initial splash screen, but as soon as it transitions to the menu, it drops. This happens in both online and offline modes.Checking the Windows Event Viewer, the crash is explicitly triggered by the anti-cheat system with an Event ID 1000 Error.Crash Details from Event Viewer:Source: EA Javelin AnticheatEvent ID: 1000Description / ExitType: 0xE1C9DA25E2F11756 (0x9280E62316CE2839)System Specifications:CPU: Intel Core i9-9900KGPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING (BIOS version 3005, Secure Boot enabled in Windows UEFI mode)OS: Windows 11 ProTroubleshooting Already Attempted:I have already spent extensive time trying to rule out local configuration issues, including:Re-installing the EA Anti-Cheat app completely and manually clearing ProgramData and Program Files folders.Wiping local setting cache files, roaming user profile structures, and re-flashing the motherboard BIOS.Wiping and rebuilding the Windows catroot2 cryptographic databases in Safe Mode.Testing on a clean Windows local Administrator account.Turning off all hardware acceleration inputs, system overlays (Steam, NVIDIA, Discord), and isolating the virtualization security features (VBS and Core Isolation).Since the game previously worked fine with Secure Boot active until a couple of days ago, this seems to be a hardware authorization signature discrepancy introduced in the latest Javelin driver update regarding Z370 and 9th Gen platform setups. Please advise or review for a potential hotfix.
Game Not Launching From Steam FC26
"Hi, I'm having an issue launching EA Sports FC 26 on PC. I purchased the game through Steam. Every time I try to launch it, the EasyAntiCheat briefly runs but then the game immediately closes and sends me back to the EA App with no error message. I have tried the following steps but nothing worked: Verified game files on Steam Repaired EasyAntiCheat service Reinstalled EA App completely Uninstalled and reinstalled FC26 Ran everything as administrator Updated Windows and all drivers Launched from both Steam and EA App directly The game shows as installed in my EA App library but it never launches. This has been the case since I first installed it, it has never worked once. Please help me resolve this issue."Force Close after Splash Screen
Hello, I have problem for my EA SPORTS FC 26. The game already show the windowed game but black screen and then force close without any notification, even my event viewer and reliability monitor doesn't show any errors, but not at all, sometimes I found EA Javelin Error 'invalid input' or something like that. And I have tried mostly everything, clean and restart with DDU, factory reset, update BIOS, update Chipset, update drivers (but yeah actually I still used APU and it's seems okay, just this case only for FC 26). And I have tried uninstall and install EA Javelin Support, at AC in Program Files, or even in game folder installation. Also, I tried ticketing to EA, but I don't know how the correct ways to ticketing even for fast respon about this problem. I recently change my motherboard, but even in my older motherboard still error, but I think it's because I can't turn on Secure Boot. But until now, this 'bug' still happening. Last note, I installed and play in EA App, I don't have for Steam version. Thank you!In-game graphics quality downgrades compared to Pause/Replay (Rendering bug)
Platform: PC (Steam / EA App) Game Version: TU 1.6.6] Mods Installed: Yes (Next Level Mod) – but the issue persists even with mods disabled. System Specs: CPU: [es. Intel i7-12700K] GPU: [es. NVIDIA RTX 3070] RAM: [es. 16GB DDR4] OS: Windows [10/11] [versione] Resolution: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz Description of the issue: There is a drastic difference in visual quality between static scenes (Pause menu, Replays, Cutscenes) and actual gameplay. When the game is paused or in replay mode, the graphics look correct: lighting, shadows, textures, and crowd details are sharp and fully rendered. However, as soon as I resume actual gameplay, the graphics quality drops significantly. It looks like the game forces a lower Level of Detail (LOD) or a dynamic resolution downgrade, even though my settings are maxed out. The pitch looks flat, colors are desaturated, and player models lose detail. What I have already tried (without success): Config File Edits: I modified both fcsetup.ini and fcsetup_default.ini in AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26\settings. I set RENDERING_SCALE to 1.10, GRAPHICS_PRESET to 4, and disabled STRAND_BASED_HAIR, MOTION_BLUR, CROWD_QUALITY, etc. Read-Only Files: I set both config files to "Read-Only" to prevent the game from overwriting them during matches. NVIDIA Control Panel: I forced "Prefer Maximum Performance" and disabled "Threaded Optimization" for fc26.exe. Dynamic Resolution: I confirmed DYNAMIC_RESOLUTION = 0 in the config. Conclusion: This appears to be a rendering engine bug in FC 26 where the game dynamically downgrades visual fidelity during active gameplay to maintain frame rates, overriding user settings. This issue is documented by other players as well. I am requesting a fix or a workaround to force the game to maintain the same graphical quality during gameplay as it does in the pause menu.FC 26 Online Connection / Input Delay Issue Affecting Players in Iraq
Hello EA SPORTS FC 26 Support Team, I would like to report a serious online gameplay and connection issue that has been affecting players in Iraq for approximately the past 10 days, and the issue is still ongoing. Since this problem started, online matches have become extremely difficult to play. There is a significant delay between pressing a button on the controller and the player responding in-game. Players often do not perform the requested commands immediately, and sometimes the entire gameplay appears to freeze or stop responding for approximately 2 seconds before continuing. Symptoms: * Severe input delay during online matches. * Players do not respond immediately to controller commands. * Delayed passing, shooting, switching, dribbling, tackling, and player movement. * The game sometimes becomes completely unresponsive for approximately 2 seconds. * The issue makes competitive online gameplay extremely difficult and negatively affects match results. * The problem has been occurring consistently for around 10 days. * This does not appear to be an issue affecting only one player or one internet connection. Multiple FC 26 players in Iraq are experiencing the same problem. Before this issue started, online gameplay was significantly more responsive and playable using the same platform and internet connection. Because the problem is being experienced by multiple players across Iraq and started around the same time, I would like to ask EA to investigate whether there is a problem with the network routing, connectivity, peering, or connection path between Iraqi ISPs and the FC 26 game data centers. Please investigate whether there have been any recent changes, outages, routing problems, or connectivity issues affecting FC 26 players connecting from Iraq. I would be happy to provide additional information, including my EA ID, platform, ISP, connection test results, screenshots, videos, or any other diagnostic information that may help your technical team investigate the issue. I hope this issue can be investigated as soon as possible because it is currently affecting the online gameplay experience for FC 26 players in Iraq. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, FC 26 Player from IraqEA FC 26 won't launch - Closes at "Launching Game" / Error 0xC0000005
Hi everyone, I need some help because I can't get EA FC 26 to launch on PC When I try to start the game, it only goes as far as the splash screen showing "Launching game" and then it closes unexpectedly, returning to the EA App. I have already tried verifying the game files and running the app as an administrator, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how to fix this or have any workarounds? Thanks in advance for the help!FC26 won't launch
An unexpected game shutdown was detected. Please relaunch the game or contact EA Help if this continues.

EA_Barry please man if you can not help me any further to fix this then give my case to someone higher, and i really appreciate your help man, but i just want to play the game on my pc. Here is what I completed: DDU clean-installed my AMD RX 9070 graphics driver. Returned my GPU/CPU settings to stock. Disabled EXPO and PBO/CPU tuning. Updated my ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI BIOS to 3881. Updated my AMD B650 chipset drivers. Disabled Steam, EA, Discord and AMD overlays. Closed monitoring/tuning utilities. Reinstalled EA Javelin AntiCheat and received "Install success." Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth — completed successfully. Ran sfc /scannow — "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." Restarted the PC and tested FC 26 again. The game still fails to launch with the same error (0xFFFFFFFF). Also, I am not currently enrolled in the Windows Insider Program. Windows shows version 25H2, OS build (KB5124008) (26200.9445), and the Windows Insider page says I would need to turn on optional diagnostic data to join the program. here is my dxdiag file aswell, i would be thankfull if i could actually play the game that i bought. i hope i dont get ignored either. best regardsEAFC26 crashesh before entering into the menu
Hello, I’m having an issue with EA SPORTS FC 26 on PC (Steam version). The game launches normally, EA Javelin AntiCheat starts, I can select my profile/personal settings, but when the game is about to load the main menu, it crashes to desktop without any visible error message. In Event Viewer / Reliability Monitor, I found the following: EA Javelin AntiCheat reports: The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000409 Reliability Monitor also showed an EA App crash: Application: EADesktop.exe Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Faulting module: StackHash_1190 Exception code: c0000374 Exception offset: PCH_7A_FROM_ntdll+0x0000000000161914 I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Renamed/reset the FC 26 local settings folder. Deleted/reset the entire %LOCALAPPDATA%\EA SPORTS FC 26 folder. Tried launching the game offline / with the internet disconnected. Verified the game files through Steam. Tried the -dx11 launch option. Completely reinstalled EA Javelin AntiCheat. Completely reinstalled the EA App. Interestingly, after reinstalling the EA App, the game worked once. After restarting the PC the next day, the exact same issue returned. Cleared the EA App cache using App Recovery. Signed out of the EA App and signed back in. Reset/renamed EA App user data folders, including Local and Roaming EA/Electronic Arts folders. Tested native monitor resolution and standard refresh rate instead of my custom NVIDIA resolution. Disabled NVIDIA/custom resolution settings. Disabled GameGuard AntiCheat Service and restarted the PC. Performed a Clean Boot: Disabled non-Microsoft services. Disabled startup applications. Checked Windows environment variables for GAME_DATA_DIR; it does not exist. Checked AppCompatFlags\Layers in the Windows Registry. Found EALauncher.exe with RUNASADMIN. Removed this flag and confirmed EA App / launcher were not forced to run as administrator. Reset EA-related per-user registry/configuration data. The most important finding: I created a completely new Windows user account on the same PC. On the new Windows account, using the same Steam installation, same EA account, same FC 26 installation, same NVIDIA driver and same hardware, the game works normally and loads into the main menu. On my original Windows user account, it still crashes every time at the same point. This strongly suggests that the issue is specific to my original Windows user profile or some per-user EA App / Windows configuration. Could you please advise which specific EA App, FC 26, Javelin, registry, authentication, profile, or per-user configuration files could cause this type of crash? I would prefer to repair my original Windows profile rather than permanently use a second Windows account. Thank you.
