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.

    I have the same problem, since the beggining of the game. I thought that was my laptop, but he run the last fc´s ... I have ryzen 9 with rtx 3050 ti. I´ve played games that used lot of cpu and gpu and none of that happened. On UT, when i start the second game, drops to 5fps and my gpu go to 100% usage. Almost 4 months passed, still EA cant fix it. 80 euros for ultimate edition for nothing .. 

  • I have these exact problem. It’s infuriating and frustrating. PS5 here. My UT team is EST. 2011. NEVER experienced something like that. For me it happens in all modes: rush, rivals, SB, etc

    Hello, I had the same problems too. First, set the settings you play well with in the eafc 26 menu, either from the nvidia app or directly from the fcsetup.ini file. Then, try setting the configuration files (fcsetup.ini, fcsetup_default.ini, overrideAutodetect.lua) to read-only first, and then deny them write access for each user. That's how I solved it. However, I think the biggest problems or the settings that should be lowered are the rendering scale (even lowering the normal resolution to 720p, 1080p caused a drop in fps with the rendering scale at 100), Ambient Occlusion to medium-low, and setting Hair Strands to off. I hope this helps you solve the problem.

  • when you faced with fps drop, pause the game and in match go to setting properly game setting changed, and it's caused fps drop
