I recently ran into Error Code 10608 while playing EA Sports FC 26. The game showed the message “Your latest sync was interrupted” and wouldn’t properly load my saved progress. At first, I wasn’t sure whether the problem was with my internet connection, the EA servers, or the game itself.
After trying several troubleshooting steps, I was able to narrow down the problem. For me, waiting a few minutes and trying again helped when the sync service was temporarily unavailable, while launching the game directly from its installation folder also helped get around the loading issue.
If you’re facing the same error, don’t worry. There are several things you can try before assuming that your save data is permanently damaged.
Why Does Error Code 10608 Occur in FC 26?
Error Code 10608 generally appears when FC 26 is unable to complete the synchronization of your game data with EA’s online services. The exact cause can vary, but some common possibilities include:
- Temporary problems with EA’s servers or online services
