Can't connect – servers unavailable error, tried everything
Hi everyone, I've been experiencing a persistent issue with EA FC 26 where the game constantly shows a message saying the EA servers are unavailable. I'm unable to connect to any online features at all. Here's what I've already tried without success: - Uninstalled and reinstalled the game completely - Changed my DNS settings (tried Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and Cloudflare 1.1.1.1) - Restarted my router and console/PC - Checked EA's server status page — no outages reported Nothing has worked so far. The issue persists regardless of what I do. My internet connection works fine for every other game and app. Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If any EA staff sees this, please look into it — this has been going on for a while and it's really frustrating. Thanks in advance!62Views1like1CommentCan not connect to EA Server.
Hi I am having issues to connect with EA server since 8:45pm yesterday, I thought there are a maintenance underway on that time. This morning I am trying to login within the game and still can not connect with the EA server, then I checked there are no internet issue on my side and for the FC 26 server. I am located in Indonesia, can I have a troubleshooting help here? Thank you.42Views0likes5CommentsFC26 Crashing when connecting online
Since updating yesterday, I am unable to play online. after starting the game when it says connoting to EA online it crashes after 1 minute. If i select cancel and play offline, it works fine but as soon as i try to go online for UT or other modes it crashes. Please help I had my weekly off today and wanted to play and can't play. I only play UT that's the whole purpose for buying this game. I don't see any events in event log. Playing on Windows 11 Steam.29Views0likes1CommentGame crashes after connecting to network.
Whenever I start FC26 on PC it works fine but as soon as It shows connect to network and finishes connecting, I instantly get booted off. I have tried disabling other anticheats for other games, turned NVIDIA and Discord overlay off, updated Visual C++ 2017-2026, and have completely uninstalled everything related to EA/FC. This started when the new Javelin Anticheat popup came when I started the game (25th June). Please suggest a solution31Views0likes2CommentsFC 26 Won't Launch - EA AntiCheat Error 87 - Returns to EA App
Title: FC 26 Won't Launch - EA AntiCheat Error 87 - Returns to EA App Hello everyone, I recently purchased EA SPORTS FC 26 on Steam, but the game has never launched successfully, not even once. When I click Play on Steam, EA App opens, a small EA AntiCheat window appears for a few seconds, then it closes. FC 26 never opens and EA App comes back to the foreground. My system is Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Build 26200.8457, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, AMD Radeon RX 9070, 32GB DDR5 RAM. Secure Boot and UEFI are enabled. Event Viewer shows: EAAntiCheatService terminated with Error 87, The parameter is incorrect. I have already verified game files through Steam, reinstalled FC 26, reinstalled EA AntiCheat multiple times, repaired EA App, updated AMD Adrenalin drivers, disabled Memory Integrity, removed ASUS GameFirst software, confirmed Steam and EA accounts are linked correctly, and restarted the PC multiple times. Battlefield V launches and runs normally through EA App on the same PC. FC 26 is the only EA game affected. The game never reaches the splash screen or main menu. Has anyone experienced the same issue or found a solution? Thank you.82Views1like1CommentEa app keep getting terminated.
I've literally tried everything i could to solve this issue - reinstalling the ea app, reinstalling the game, clean uninstalling both and reinstalling them, clearing cache, turning off potentially conflicting apps, even trying to play offline, but nothing seems to work, everytime i play the game in about 5 to 10 minutes the game crashes with an error message - "ea fc 26 is shutting down this is a result of the ea app being terminated" i have the game on steam if it helps.

I'm creating this discussion because I've been working with EA Support for several days and the issue is still unresolved. My setup: Steam version of EA SPORTS FC 26 EA account linked correctly Windows 11 Secure Boot enabled TPM 2.0 enabled Issue: The game starts normally, EA Anti-Cheat loads successfully, then a black screen appears for a few seconds and the game closes back to the EA App without any error message. I have already tried: Reinstalling the game Reinstalling EA Anti-Cheat Reinstalling the EA App Verifying game files Clearing EA cache Clean Boot Running everything as Administrator Updating Windows and GPU drivers Enabling Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 Nothing has solved the problem. An important detail: I was able to play the FC 26 Showcase on this same PC using the same EA account before purchasing the full game. The problem only started after buying the full Steam version. I'm starting to believe this may be related to Steam entitlement or EA account data rather than my PC. Questions for anyone with the same issue: Are you playing the Steam version? Were you able to play the FC 26 Showcase or the game before purchasing the full version? Has anyone with this exact issue received a solution from EA? If an EA Community Manager sees this, I would really appreciate if this could be forwarded to the technical team, as I believe this issue requires investigation on the account/backend side rather than additional PC troubleshooting.23Views0likes1Comment
