Severe FPS Drop and Performance Issue in EA SPORTS FC 26

Dear EA Support Team,

I am facing a serious performance issue while playing EA SPORTS FC 26 on my laptop.

Laptop Specifications:

- Model: ASUS TUF A15 (2025)

- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (4GB VRAM)

- RAM: 16GB

- Display: 144Hz

- Storage: SSD

Issue Description:

When I start the game, everything works perfectly fine. Initially, I get around 70–80 FPS and the game runs smoothly. However, after the game starts or after spending some time on the home page/menu, the FPS suddenly drops drastically to 7, 5, 3, 2 FPS, and today it even dropped to 0 FPS.

The game becomes extremely laggy and unplayable. I also noticed that GPU utilisation goes up to 99%, while the game performance becomes worse instead of better. GPU temperatures are around 75°C–86°C, which seems normal for gaming, but the FPS still drops heavily.

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:

- Switching between Turbo and Performance mode in Armoury Crate

- Updating graphics settings

- Running the game in Fullscreen mode

- Adjusting NVIDIA settings to Prefer Maximum Performance

- Disabling overlays and changing display settings

Despite these steps, the issue still continues only in EA SPORTS FC 26. Other games work normally on my laptop.

Please help me resolve this issue as the game becomes unplayable after launching.

Kind regards,
