Disclaimer

EA FC 26 is protected by EA Anticheat. Use of editing tools can put an account at risk, and enforcement policies may change at any time. Use the tool at your own risk.

Safety Measures

Turn off automatic game updates if you need to remain on a version supported by the installed Live Editor release.

Running the game without EAAC

Live Editor uses a replacement EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe while it is running. The launcher copies it to the game installation directory and restores the original launcher when the Live Editor launcher closes.

Using FIFA Mod Manager Mods

Run the game at least once with your mods but without Live Editor first. Verify that the mods work without crashes before combining them with Live Editor.

  1. 1. Clear Advanced Launch Options in EA App or Steam.

  2. 2. Open Launcher settings.

    Under Advanced Launch Options, enter -dataPath FIFAModData.

  3. 3. Run the game.

    The Fake EAAC Launcher should show the game starting with the -dataPath FIFAModData argument.

    Duplicating -dataPath FIFAModData prevents the mods from working.
