FC 26 insane framedrops, pixels and imput delay (PC of course)

Hello,

I’m experiencing a critical performance issue with EA SPORTS FC 26 since the day 2 of anticipated release (ultimate édition so 19/09)

Issues:

- The game initially runs perfectly at 1080p, low settings, 144 FPS.

- After halftime, or when starting a new match, the game suddenly becomes highly pixelated and the frame rate drops below 10 FPS, sometimes even right at kickoff.

- Lowering the resolution to 720p does not stabilize the FPS; it stays around 5–10 FPS, even in the menus, until it randomly jumps back to 144 FPS, then the cycle repeats.

System Specs:

- ASUS gaming laptop (F15)

- CPU: Intel i7-11800H

- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti

- RAM: 16 GB

- Power: Always plugged in, Windows power mode set to High Performance, ASUS Turbo mode enabled (Alt + F5)

- GPU and CPU Drivers: Latest versions installed

Game Settings:

- 1080p, low quality for maximum performance

Steps Already Tried:

- Updated/reinstalled GPU drivers

- Lowered all graphics settings

- Changed resolution

- Reinstalled the game

- No improvement

On FC 25, this same laptop ran the game smoothly at 1080p/144 FPS with identical settings.

Right now i can play only in 720p with beetween 50% and 75% of Render Scale (**bleep** graphics) and by capping my screen monitor and nvidia settings to 120fps (vsync enabled)

Could you confirm whether this issue is known and if an official fix or patch is planned? At the moment the game is essentially unplayable. (Almost 2 weeks btw)

Thank you.

(It s a repost since it still not fixed even after 2 updates...)
