FC 26 is a Complete Disaster , Input Lag, Slow Motion, FPS Drops Everywhere

I honestly don’t even know what’s going on with FC 26 anymore. This game is unplayable.

Here’s what I’ve been dealing with since day one:

Random input lag that comes and goes like it owns the place. Sometimes it’s fine, then suddenly it feels like I’m playing underwater.

FPS drops out of nowhere , I’m talking 5 to 10 frames per second on a setup that should handle this game easily.

The game randomly goes into slow-motion mode for no reason at all. It’s not connection-related, not hardware-related, just pure nonsense.

If by miracle the input lag disappears, it stays fine for about 3 minutes before going crazy again.

I’ve literally tried everything:

Every single in-game graphics combination possible.

Every video on YouTube about NVIDIA control panel settings.

VSync on, off, frame rate limited, unlimited  nothing makes a difference.

I’ve spent hours tweaking, restarting, reinstalling, testing… and still the same garbage experience.

This is not acceptable. I paid for this game expecting at least basic playability, and it’s been almost a month with no proper fix or acknowledgment.

My specs:

RTX 3050 Ti (Laptop)

Ryzen 5 5600H

16 GB RAM

Please, EA, fix this mess. It’s beyond frustrating at this point.

  • EA doensn´t care about PC players tbh, there is people that have this problem since day 1, I got this problem since the last update... I upgraded my pc 1 day before and this made me think that the problem is the hardware but it´s not, thats acc very frustrating watching others play and not a single word about that problem on X or in this forum. I tried everything even chatgpt is saying that therer is no solution and we need to waint until EA fix this **bleep**. Been like about 1 week scrolling thru this forum, youtube, reddit and there isn´t a single solution. Better ask for a refound tbh.

    This is also happening to me. I have the same specs as you but an I7 processor.

  • Hey guys I saw that it may be the new nvidia driver update, try going back to 581.29
