Extreme FPS drops after 30 minutes in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team (PC)

Hi everyone, I’m posting here because EA Support hasn’t been able to help, and I’m hoping the community might have some insight.

I’m experiencing a serious performance issue in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team.

What happens:

-I launch the game and enter Ultimate Team

-For the first ~30 minutes everything is perfectly fine

-The first Rivals match runs without any issues

In the second match:

-First half is completely fine

-Second half becomes unplayable: extreme lag and massive FPS drops

-It feels like 1 frame per second, constant stuttering and screen jumping

Important details:

I haven’t found a permanent solution

Restarting the game fixes it, but only for another ~30 minutes

After restarting, the exact same cycle repeats

EA Support only suggested basic troubleshooting, which did not help

At this point, restarting the game is the only temporary fix, but it’s obviously not a real solution.

If anyone has experienced something similar or has any idea what could cause this (memory leak, settings, background process, etc.), I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance.
