Problems with EA FC on PC in absolutely everything
So, where to start. I started buying EA FC games on Steam, starting with the 23rd installment, and had almost no problems until the release of the 26th. Of course, considering that I always pre-ordered, PC players had problems at launch (for example, the horrors that occurred at the launch of EA FC 25, when it was impossible to even enter the game at first, and then connect the controller normally), but all these problems were almost always only at launch, and then a solution was found. But with EA FC 26... It's a nightmare. As usual, I pre-ordered it and played for a while at launch (going through the career mode a bit and collecting SBCs in Ultimate Team), I encountered a huge number of problems, such as: problems with launching, a gamepad that worked terribly with lag, slow motion when trying to watch a match from the coach's perspective in career mode, the gamepad turning off starting from the second half in any Ultimate Team mode, jerky laggy graphics in Ultimate Team when entering or exiting a match. In general, there were quite a few problems, which was really not like usual. In my case, I tried several (a dozen or more) solutions to the problem and, having fixed nothing, with a very sad feeling, I deleted the game, realizing that I would not be able to get a refund because I, a stupid person, had collected SBC for more than three hours and bought a non-standard version of the game. I deleted it, trying to get out of the depression that this game had put me in. Okay, I thought, the pain is gone, and when TOTY came out, I had an incredible feeling of wanting to return to the game. I immediately remembered how enjoyable it had been in previous years. But, unfortunately, it was as if the game developers had done nothing for half a year... The exact same problems, no fixes (working ones). I really spent dozens of hours trying to find a fix, tried absolutely everything that was written on EA forums and in Steam discussions, and nothing helped at all. Is it normal that since September and the release of the game, there has been a thread from the developers in the Steam discussions that is still marked as *under investigation*? Very sad, very sad. Lost money + lost desire to buy EA products for PC for the rest of my life. Maybe someday I'll buy a console and return to EA FC, but who knows.
If it really can help (which I seriously doubt). My laptop specs: RTX3050, i5-11400H, 16 GB RAM. It would seem that these are not particularly impressive specifications, a weak computer for the great EA FC. Considering how much I've been browsing forums and seeing how people with computers that cost more than some apartments have the same problems as me, I don't think it has any effect.
