FC 26 drops to 3–5 FPS after first match or halftime.

Hi everyone,

I'm having a serious performance issue with FC 26 and I really need help.The game runs fine when I first launch it. However, after the first match starts — or sometimes right after halftime — the FPS suddenly drops to 3–5 FPS and becomes completely unplayable. It doesn’t gradually decrease; it just instantly drops and stays there.I have tried almost every solution I could find online, but nothing has fixed the issue. Here’s what I’ve already tried:

Making the .ini files read-only and adjusting the settings

Uninstalling my GPU driver completely and installing an older version

Disabling V-Sync

Locking FPS to a fixed value

Removing FPS limit

Disabling NVIDIA shader cache

Deleting the game’s cache files

Reinstalling the game completely

Lowering the resolution

Alt-tabbing out of the game and even launching another game while FC 26 is running

None of these worked. The game still drops to 3–5 FPS after the first match or halftime, and I can’t properly play the game at all.

If anyone has experienced this issue or knows a possible fix, I would really appreciate your help.
