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.Title: FC 26 – Severe FPS Drops and Performance Issues
Title: FC 26 – Severe FPS Drops and Performance Issues Hello EA Support, I am experiencing a serious FPS/performance issue in FC 26 on PC. The game does not maintain stable FPS during matches. FPS suddenly drops and causes noticeable stuttering and input delay, even when the PC should be capable of running the game smoothly. My PC specifications: CPU: Intel Core i3-10100F GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 RAM: 16 GB OS: Windows 11 Platform: EA App / PC Problem: FPS drops suddenly during gameplay Stuttering occurs even when the FPS counter appears relatively high The issue makes gameplay feel delayed and inconsistent Lowering graphics settings does not completely solve the problem The problem is especially noticeable during matches I have already tried lowering the graphics settings and checking my PC configuration, but the issue remains. Could you please investigate whether this is a known FC 26 optimization/performance bug? 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.PS5 - Unable to Connect to EA Servers (Everything Else Works)
Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone has experienced this before because I’m completely out of ideas. I’m playing EA SPORTS FC 26 on a PS5 Digital Edition, and suddenly I can no longer connect to EA servers. I can launch the game and reach the main menu, but every online mode (Ultimate Team, Clubs, Seasons, etc.) says I’m unable to connect to EA servers. The strange part is: PlayStation Network works perfectly. I can join PS5 parties. Every other online game works. EA Companion App works on my phone. NAT Type 2. The issue happens on both Wi-Fi and Ethernet. I even tried using my phone’s hotspot with the same result. I signed into my brother’s PSN account on my PS5, and he also couldn’t connect to EA servers. I’ve already tried: Restarting the PS5. Restarting the router. Changing DNS. Restoring licenses. Restoring PS5 default settings. Repairing console storage. Completely deleting and reinstalling FC 26. This all started after FC 26 crashed with CE-108255-1, although I’ve had random days since the game launched where FC couldn’t connect while every other game worked. Has anyone had this exact issue? If so: What caused it? How did you fix it? Did you need to reset your PS5, or was there another solution? I’d really appreciate any advice because I’ve exhausted almost every troubleshooting step I can think of. Thanks in advance.
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: GPU:NVIDIA RTX 3050] RAM: 16GB OS: Windows 11 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.In-game graphics quality downgrades compared to Pause/Replay (Rendering bug)

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 Iraq
