Fc 26 lag after half time

Yeah I have the same probem but not even after halftime but at the start of the match. GPU hits 100% on everything low. And 2 days ago it was **bleep** I got 5 to 15fps then the next day it was amazing and today terrible again. And ea support can't help you at all. 

some 4gb vram user have this problem still no permanent solution

FC 26 FPS drop fix RTX 3050 4GB. I had random FPS drops to 5–15 FPS with GPU usage hitting 100 percent, mostly in FUT menus, halftime and pack animations, while other games worked fine. The cause is an FC 26 engine UI bug where the game silently overrides graphics settings like strand based hair during menus even if settings are on Low. Fix is to delete EA SPORTS FC 26 folders from AppData Local and Documents once, launch the game to regenerate files, then edit overrideAutodetect.lua and fcsetup.ini to force Low graphics, strand based hair off, rendering scale 0.85, FPS cap 60, VSync off, and windowed borderless on. After saving, set both files to Read only or deny Write permission for your user only, keeping SYSTEM default. Also keep Nvidia Control Panel Low Latency Mode set to Off. After this FPS stays stable and GPU no longer gets stuck at 100 percent.

✅ STEP-BY-STEP: What you do now to fix FC 26 FPS drops STEP 0: One-time preparation Before changing files: Close FC 26 Close EA App Disable EA App auto-start Make sure FC 26 is not running in background (Task Manager) STEP 1: Reset game configs completely (clean base) Go to: Documents\EA Sports FC 26\ Delete everything inside Go to: C:\Users<YourName>\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26\ Delete everything inside Restart your PC This ensures you start from a clean state. STEP 2: Launch FC 26 once (important) Open EA App Launch FC 26 Let it reach main menu Exit the game 👉 This regenerates fresh config files. STEP 3: Edit overrideAutodetect.lua (CRUCIAL) Go to: C:\Users<YourName>\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26\ Open overrideAutodetect.lua with Notepad Set at minimum these values (don’t skip): OverallGraphicsQuality = 0 StrandBasedHair = 0 MotionBlur = 0 CrowdQuality = 0 GrassQuality = 0 ClothQuality = 0 DynamicAOQuality = 0 ResolutionScale = 0.85 MaxFrameRate = 60 (or 90 if stable) TargetFrameRate = 60 PresentInterval = 0 VSyncEnabled = 0 WindowedBorderless = 1 Save file STEP 4: Edit fcsetup.ini (CRUCIAL) Go to: Documents\EA Sports FC 26\ Open fcsetup.ini Ensure these values: GRAPHICS_PRESET = 0 STRAND_BASED_HAIR = 0 MOTION_BLUR = 0 CROWD_QUALITY = 0 GRASS_QUALITY = 0 CLOTH_QUALITY = 0 DYNAMIC_AO_QUALITY = 0 RENDERING_SCALE = 0.85 DYNAMIC_RESOLUTION = 0 MAX_FRAME_RATE = 60 TARGET_FRAME_RATE = 60 WAITFORVSYNC = 0 WINDOWED_BORDERLESS = 1 Save file STEP 5: Lock the files (SAFE METHOD FIRST) ⚠️ DO THIS FIRST. Do NOT use “Deny” yet. Right-click overrideAutodetect.lua Properties → tick Read-only Apply Right-click fcsetup.ini Properties → tick Read-only Apply STEP 6: NVIDIA Control Panel sanity check For EASPORTSFC26.exe: Power management: Normal Low latency mode: Off V-Sync: Off Max frame rate: Off Shader cache: Default Apply. STEP 7: Test in correct order (IMPORTANT) Launch FC 26 DO NOT OPEN FUT FIRST Go to Kick-Off Play one full match FPS should be stable GPU usage normal If this fails → stop (engine bug) STEP 8: FUT test Enter Ultimate Team Stay in menus for 2–3 minutes Watch GPU usage and FPS Open ONE pack Expected result: No sudden 100% GPU spike No 5–10 FPS drop No forced Ultra graphics STEP 9: If settings reset again (last resort) ONLY if FC 26 still overrides settings: Right-click both files Properties → Security → Edit Select your user Deny → Write Apply ⚠️ Use this only if Read-only fails. STEP 10: What NOT to do anymore ❌ ❌ Reinstall drivers every launch ❌ Keep reinstalling the game ❌ Change DX11/DX12 repeatedly ❌ Touch in-game graphics menu again ❌ Use GeForce Experience optimization ✅ Final outcome you should see FUT menus smooth Pack opening no longer kills FPS GPU no longer stuck at 100% No more 5–10 FPS drops FPS no longer halves (30 / 45)

I have rtx 4050 6gb vram same issue the problem is in game not your graphics and all.

then what is the point of having rtx 4050 gpu with 6gb vram and ryzen 7 cpu if I can't play on custom settings.

I appreciate you giving this solution but I want to play the game at 100 render res and at good graphics it is not a solution but downgrading your experience.
