Re: FC 25 not running smooth on PC (again)
@gnappo78 Thanks for this bit of info! I'm on Xbox Series X and your comment got me thinking. Last year I had to get my Xbox repaired due to it shutting off randomly apparently when getting too hot. Recently, I've been having severe input lag/delay and occasional packet loss that has gotten worse over the last few months.
I started reading about thermal throttling thanks to your comment and last week I purchased an external fan that also gives a temperature reading of the Xbox. In game menus, I saw that my Xbox got to 130 degrees F. I turned the fan on and played some games. The difference in gameplay lag was noticeable, much better, and my Xbox topped out at about 105 degrees F.
This weekend, I took my Xbox to a local repair shop. They found that the thermal compound had basically all dried out, so they fixed it up. Now my Xbox doesn't run as hot anymore though I'm still using the fan. There is a significant improvement with the input lag. It's not perfect, but it's definitely much better. I've only played for a couple of days so far.
I had tried all types of troubleshooting and had ruled out my Xbox being an issue because I had the same issue with another Xbox One S that I have. That Xbox is old though, so it probably has the same heating issue. What I find strange is that the symptoms are only noticeable with the EA games I played online (FC 24 and FC 25). Warzone, eFootball, Fortnite, and Roblox didn't seem to have any issues. Also, EA FC gameplay is great when not connected to online servers. 🤷🏽♂️

Sounds like thermal throttling, please check the temp of your cpu is not raising close to 70 degrees after 5 mins. If so, buy a better fan.
