Solution to PC crash 0xC0000005 or 0xC0000409
If your game crashes on PC-Steam, go to windows eventviewer and you see these error code: EAAntiCheatService The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005 OR EAAntiCheatService The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000409 I think it is the faulty coupling between EA AntiCheat and the Frostbite graphic rendering layer. EA AntiCheat runs directly in the windows kernel (Ring 0). The game (fc26.exe) runs in user space (Ring 3). The two communicate through shared memory mappings. When your graphic drivers (AMD or Nvdia) operate, they may inadvertently alter this shared memory region. When EA AntiCheat detects an out-of-bounds memory access, it immediately triggers a forced termination of the game process, resulting in exit codes 0xC0000005 or 0xC0000409. Telling you to fix or reinstall EA AntiCheat does not help because EA AntiCheat itself is that unstable middle layer in between. Solution: The easiest on is to force the game to run on directX 11 instead of 12. Go to Steam-Library-EA Sports FC26-Properties-General-Lauch Options type -dx11 in the box Sometimes EA app may ignore steam launch options, if the above is not working well, try this. Try finding a file called fcsetup.ini, for me it is here: C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26\fcsetup edit fcsetup.ini , find RenderingAPI and change it to directX 11 like this: change RenderingAPI=DirectX12 to RenderingAPI=DirectX11 If there isn't a line of renderinAPI in the file, you can manually add that line to it. Don't forget after the edit and safe, change fcsetup.ini to read only (right-click the file-properties) For me this greatly reduces the frequency of crashing, I'm able to complete some matches. Frame drops still happen but it won't result in a direct crash as before. I'm not an expert, I just use my limited IT knowledge trying to solve my game crashing issues and hope this can help all of you as well. Please tell me in the comment if it is working for you or not. If anyone knows any better way to do this please tell me. Thanks in advance.
FC26 keeps crashing after a black screen on my pc
I’m having a serious issue with EA SPORTS FC 26 on my PC. The game starts normally, and all the initial notifications/screens appear, but when it reaches the actual game screen, it stays completely black for around 6–7 seconds and then crashes and closes by itself. I’ve already tried pretty much everything I could find to fix it. I updated Windows, repaired Windows, reinstalled Steam and the EA app, completely reinstalled FC 26 three times, verified the game files, reinstalled DirectX, updated my GPU drivers, and tried several other troubleshooting methods. Unfortunately, nothing has worked, and the exact same crash keeps happening. What’s frustrating is that the game doesn’t even give me a proper error message. It just shows a black screen for a few seconds and then closes.

Hi everyone, I've been having an issue with FC 26 since October 23. The game randomly closes during matches without showing any error message. I'm playing on Steam with an RTX 4060, Ryzen 5 5500 and 32GB RAM. I've already tried reinstalling the game, repairing the anticheat, updating drivers and even reinstalling Windows, but nothing has helped. Has anyone experienced the same issue or found a solution? I've noticed some EA AntiCheat errors in Windows Event Viewer, but I'm not sure if they're causing the crashes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!FC 26 fechando sozinho durante as partidas, sem mensagem de erro
Olá, pessoal! Desde o dia 23/10 estou enfrentando um problema com o FC 26. O jogo fecha sozinho durante as partidas, sem apresentar nenhuma mensagem de erro. Simplesmente volta para a área de trabalho. Jogo pela Steam e meu PC tem uma RTX 4060, Ryzen 5 5500 e 32 GB de RAM. Já tentei reinstalar o jogo, reparar o anticheat, atualizar os drivers e até reinstalar completamente o Windows, mas nada resolveu. Também percebi alguns erros relacionados ao EA AntiCheat no Visualizador de Eventos do Windows, mas não sei se são a causa do problema. Alguém está passando pela mesma situação ou conseguiu encontrar alguma solução? Agradeço qualquer ajuda!FC 26 fechando sozinho durante as partidas, sem mensagem de erro
Olá, pessoal! Estou precisando de ajuda com um problema no FC 26 que já está me deixando sem opções. Desde o dia 23/10, o jogo começou a fechar sozinho durante as partidas, sem travar antes e sem mostrar nenhuma mensagem de erro. Simplesmente volta para a área de trabalho. Isso acontece aleatoriamente, e os outros jogos do meu PC funcionam normalmente. Meu PC tem um Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 4060, 32 GB de RAM e Windows 11. Jogo pela Steam e estou com os drivers da NVIDIA atualizados. Já tentei praticamente tudo: reinstalei o jogo, reinstalei o EA AntiCheat várias vezes, atualizei os drivers, desativei programas em segundo plano, verifiquei temperaturas, removi possíveis softwares conflitantes e até voltei atualizações do Windows. Cheguei ao ponto de reinstalar o próprio Windows, mas nada resolveu. Investigando o Visualizador de Eventos, percebi que toda vez que o jogo fecha aparece um erro do EA Javelin AntiCheat, seguido pelo encerramento do serviço EAAntiCheatService. Os códigos que aparecem são: EA Javelin AntiCheat: ExitType 0x6C687FA2D13CAF4D EAAntiCheatService: erro 4294946637 (evento 7023) Não sei se o anticheat está causando o fechamento ou se esses erros aparecem porque o jogo já fechou. Alguém já passou por isso ou sabe o que esses códigos significam? Se alguém da equipe da EA puder ajudar a investigar, agradeço muito. Já tentei tantas soluções que realmente não sei mais o que fazer. Posso enviar os registros de erro e vídeos mostrando o problema, se necessário.FC 26 Keeps Crashing to Desktop Without Any Error Message
Hi everyone! I'm looking for some help with FC 26 because I'm honestly running out of ideas. Since October 23, the game has been randomly closing during matches without freezing or showing any error message. It just suddenly closes and takes me back to the desktop. Other games run perfectly fine on my PC. My specs are Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 4060, 32 GB RAM, and Windows 11. I play through Steam, and my NVIDIA drivers are up to date. I've tried pretty much everything I could think of. I've reinstalled the game, reinstalled EA AntiCheat multiple times, updated my drivers, disabled background applications, checked temperatures, removed potentially conflicting software, and rolled back Windows updates. I even went as far as reinstalling Windows completely, but the crashes are still happening. While checking Windows Event Viewer, I noticed that every time the game crashes, EA Javelin AntiCheat reports an error, followed by the EAAntiCheatService shutting down. These are the error codes I'm getting: EA Javelin AntiCheat: ExitType 0x6C687FA2D13CAF4D EAAntiCheatService: Error 4294946637 (Event ID 7023) I'm not sure whether the anticheat is causing the crashes or if these errors are simply a result of the game closing. Has anyone experienced something similar or knows what these error codes mean? If someone from EA's technical team could look into this, I'd really appreciate it. I've spent hours trying to fix this and honestly don't know what else to try. I can provide Event Viewer logs, screenshots, and videos of the crashes if needed. Thanks in advance for any help!Random Crashes to Desktop Without Error Messages | EA Javelin AntiCheat
Hello everyone, I'm experiencing persistent random crashes with EA SPORTS FC 26 on PC. The game suddenly closes to the Windows desktop during gameplay without displaying any error message or warning. I first noticed this issue on October 23, 2026. Before that, the game was working normally. I've spent several hours troubleshooting, including reinstalling Windows, but the problem continues. PC SPECIFICATIONS CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 RAM: 32 GB Motherboard: Mancer MCR-A520M-DXV4 Operating System: Windows 11 Home Single Language, 64-bit Windows Builds Tested: 26300.9818, 26300.9711, and earlier builds after reverting updates NVIDIA Driver: Latest available version, updated October 29, 2026 Platform: Steam with EA App integration Other games run normally. Hardware temperatures and utilization were also monitored using MSI Afterburner, without any obvious abnormalities. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION The game launches and runs normally for a while. However, at random moments during gameplay, it suddenly closes to the desktop. There is no error message, EA App notification, or consistent trigger. The issue persists even after reinstalling Windows. EA JAVELIN ANTICHEAT ERRORS Windows Event Viewer consistently reports EA Javelin AntiCheat errors at the exact times the game closes. First example: October 29, 2026, at 12:39 PM Source: EA Javelin Anticheat Event ID: 1000 Time: 12:39:29 ExitType: 0x6C687FA2D13CAF4D (0x2671FA686ED22579) Source: Service Control Manager Event ID: 7023 Time: 12:39:30 Message: EAAntiCheatService terminated with error %%4294946637. Second example: October 29, 2026, at 1:26 PM Source: EA Javelin Anticheat Event ID: 1000 Time: 13:25:59 ExitType: 0x6C687FA2D13CAF4D (0x2671FA686ED22579) Source: Service Control Manager Event ID: 7023 Time: 13:26:00 Message: EAAntiCheatService terminated with error %%4294946637. In both cases, Windows also recorded that the EA AntiCheat filesystem filter was unloaded shortly afterward. Another previously recorded error was: Failed retrieving service path. However, I verified that the anticheat executable exists at C:\Program Files\EA\AC\eaanticheat.gameservice.exe. I understand that these events do not necessarily prove the anticheat is causing the crash, as it could also be terminating after the game has already failed. TROUBLESHOOTING ALREADY PERFORMED Completely uninstalled and reinstalled EA SPORTS FC 26. Reinstalled EA AntiCheat multiple times. Verified the anticheat service configuration and executable path. Investigated Windows Event Viewer logs. Checked Windows Code Integrity events for blocked drivers or DLLs. Investigated potential conflicts with Topaz Warsaw banking security software. Removed Warsaw to test for conflicts, without success. Disabled nonessential Windows startup applications. Investigated possible conflicts involving overlays and monitoring software. Monitored hardware temperatures and utilization using MSI Afterburner. Updated the NVIDIA driver to the latest available version. Investigated Windows updates installed around the period when the crashes began. Reverted recent Windows updates and tested earlier Windows builds. Investigated potential compatibility issues with Windows 11 26H2. Reviewed Windows Reliability Monitor. Reinstalled Windows. None of these steps resolved the issue. I also initiated an additional diagnostic investigation through ChatGPT Work. I can provide any confirmed findings separately. ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS The problem appears to affect FC 26 specifically. Other games work normally. No obvious hardware temperature or utilization abnormalities were observed. The same EA Javelin AntiCheat error codes appeared during multiple crashes. Reverting Windows updates and reinstalling Windows did not resolve the problem. REQUEST FOR EA TECHNICAL SUPPORT I would appreciate assistance from EA's technical team regarding the following questions: What does ExitType 0x6C687FA2D13CAF4D (0x2671FA686ED22579) indicate? What does EAAntiCheatService error 4294946637 mean? Is there a known compatibility issue involving EA Javelin AntiCheat, Windows 11, or NVIDIA RTX 4060 systems? Is there a way to determine whether the anticheat initiates the shutdown or merely terminates afterward? Are there specific EA Javelin diagnostic logs or crash dumps I can collect for further investigation? I can provide Windows Event Viewer logs, screenshots, and video recordings showing the crashes. I've already performed extensive troubleshooting, including reinstalling Windows. I would greatly appreciate a more targeted technical investigation rather than repeating the standard reinstall and repair procedures. Thank you for your assistance.Club Consumables
Urgent Request to EA Sports: Restore the Pro Clubs Consumables Store in FC 26 To the EA Sports FC Development and Live Operations Teams We are writing to formally request the restoration of the Pro Clubs Consumables Store in EA Sports FC 26. On September 11, 2026, the catalog was completely emptied on the server side, leaving active players with broken menus, "undefined" item slots, and completely useless Club Coins. This change was implemented with zero prior notice, zero in-game countdown banners, and zero official announcements. Why This Needs to Be Fixed: Incredibly Low Technical Effort: As a global leader in gaming infrastructure, EA knows that keeping this store live requires virtually no ongoing development. The interface, the item assets, and the database architecture are already coded into the client. It simply requires leaving a static, permanent catalog active on your backend servers rather than enforcing an expiration date. Respect Your Active Player Base: A massive, dedicated community still actively logs hours and grinds competitive matches in FC 26. Completely disabling the primary progression and XP acceleration mechanics overnight fundamentally damages the product we paid for. Value for Currency: Many players spent months accumulating Club Coins specifically to invest in their Pro's development. Wiping out the store without warning leaves players holding a worthless currency, which severely damages community trust. Our Request: We do not expect live content updates, seasonal promos, or active moderation. We simply ask that you re-populate the database with a static, permanent batch of standard XP multipliers and consumables so the game remains functional and fair for those who choose to play it. Leaving the store in an "undefined" state is a poor reflection of product quality. Flipping the switch to restore basic, static functionality is an incredibly easy fix that would mean the world to your loyal community. Bring back FC 26 Club Consumables.
