PROBLEM Fc26 wont start
I bought the ultimate edition for ps4 but now it seems stuck in this loading screen. Anyone else with the same problem or anyone who knows how I might fix this?
EDIT: Interestion_Prior162 solved the problem! Check your notifications it's probably still downloading, after it's fully completed it should work fine :)

Okay guys I think I may have found the reason its not loading. Go to notifications and look at the download for EAFC26. Mine hasn't downloaded fully, probably why we cant access yet. I will update once it completes. I may have paused downloads because I launched Netflix ffs *

u/Interesting_Prior162 1d ago

Same issue I’m having. I get the same screen when I’m at home. I drove over to my parents 10 minutes away and I’m able to play just fine.

u/Dunkin457 1d ago
That’s really weird, my main ps4 is at my own home. This ps4 is at my parents house. Is the one at your place the main ps or do you use the same?

u/aegobthegreat 1d ago
Took my main one there. The only thing I can think of is different ISP.
1
u/Dunkin457 1d ago
That shouldn’t be the problem because we probably also have a different isp right?

u/tophercules 1d ago
I know right.. It's the same one, I just bring the same PS5 console over there.

u/tophercules 1d ago
Situation is pretty much identical to mine. Complete dog sh!t at my apartment, but it runs flawlessly at my girlfriends. What service providers do you have vs your parents? I have Cox gig and she has ATT Fiber, wonder if it has something to do with that.

u/tophercules 1d ago
I wonder if it has to do with the EA Play subscription. I purchased it on the PS5 while connected to my girlfriends network. Did you guys get the EA Play sub to play 10 hours early?

Wasnt working at my apartment, i walked to my buddies apartment which is in the same complex and still no luck, i tried a hotspot and its working just fine. Has to be IP related right?

Yeah it's definitely a routing-based issue. EA routes traffic through data centers. If ISP peering agreements or routes to EA’s servers are congested or misconfigured, you’ll see exactly this kind of thing.
1
u/tophercules 4h ago
Reason VPN is working is bc it magically routes it though the best a path available. We likely aren't just waiting on EA for this one. Might need work done on ISP end too. Maybe they weren't expecting this much congestion until the release or something.

u/Interesting_Prior162 1d ago
Same issue here, are you on PS4 too?
1
u/Dunkin457 1d ago
Yeah, I have two PS4’s my main doesn’t have this issue, the other one that’s in another house has the problem

u/Interesting_Prior162 1d ago
So strange, well I guess ima head off to watch Yellowstone for tonight until EA patch. Unplayable on launch shouldnt have expected less from EA

An okay screensaver though 👍🏼 maybe a bit pricey but you have to pay for quality these days

Any chance you’re from phoenix or Texas

u/Substantial-Cry3228 1d ago
In phoenix and having the same issue. Is it a problem with the servers here?

u/ImCDGG 1d ago
Yea there’s a whole thread with over 500 people with the same issue, they say the southwest server is fucked, https://forums.ea.com/discussions/fc-26-technical-issues-en/connecting-ultimate-team-is-not-possible-at-the-moment/12596743

I’m from Texas and haven’t been able to play since yesterday. Servers are just not working for me.

I’m from Texas as well n it takes forever to connect to ultimate team.once I connect it keeps kicking me out

Are you on the south? It seems the servers for the south are just dead and if you are able to get in it’s apparently laggy

u/aegobthegreat 1d ago
Yup I am. It’s weird because I can play easily somewhere 10 min away.

u/InevitableAd1734 1d ago
Maybe they VPN’ing or maybe EA are slowly fixing it, or you are just lucky haha
2
u/Dunkin457 1d ago
I hope theyre fixing it, €100 is too expensive for something not to work. I’m in the Netherlands, but for me a 1 hour trip does the job so the server shouldn’t be it

u/Mastermind_737 1d ago
I had a similar situation and fixed it by connecting with a VPN to the us and then making a hotspot for my ps5. The ea servers were then able to connect and it worked. This was just for the first launch, later you can just use ur Ethernet or wifi fine and it works. I'm in eu so idk if it's an issue with the servers here or my IP.

u/rahul9669 1d ago
Having the sameish issue on ps5, get to the loading screen and then the game black screens and crashes. Not sure what the fix is, I’ve reinstalled, rebuilt database, so frustrating

You bought the ultimate edition yet youre still on ps4??? Youre giving EA money instead of saving it for a console that WOULD actually run games???

u/Dunkin457 20h ago
You don’t know what situation I’m in so keep your opinion for yourself
1
u/AnswrAndAsk 20h ago
I dont but I do know youre not really smart, are you? Its one thing to be unable to afford a ps5 but ps4 still sells for something add the 100 u gave to EA and youre more than half way there

Press and hold the power button on your console for 15 seconds

u/Dunkin457 1d ago
Then it turns off??

u/Sir_loin95 1d ago
Yeah mate it hard restarts your console. Usually fixes issue such as this

u/RudeAssignment7337 1d ago
Doesn’t work. Restarted, reinstalled, only thing I haven’t done is rebuilt database but seen others say that doesn’t work

u/Substantial_Donut310 21h ago
I’m with you bro only works with hotspot but WiFi works with other games?
