FC 26 Random 1–2 Second Stutters/Hitches Since Recent Update (No FPS Drop)

I'm experiencing random 1–2 second stutters/hitches in FC 26 that started after a recent update.

The game runs at high FPS and GPU/CPU usage looks normal, but every so often the game briefly freezes for around 1 second and then continues normally. It's not network lag and it happens at random times during gameplay in Ultimate team online mode/Squad battle

  • I've already tried most of the common fixes without any success. I reinstalled FC 26, deleted all FC cache and settings folders, cleared the DirectX shader cache, tested XMP both on and off, changed various NVIDIA Control Panel settings, tried different FPS caps, tested both DX11 and DX12, disabled all overlays, reset the in-game audio settings, and experimented with different graphics settings including Strand-Based Hair. Despite all of this, the random 1–2 second stutters/hitches still occur.

    Welcome to the club... you're not the only one. As I've mentioned in other discussions about this same issue, this situation crops up almost every time there's a patch—they break something, and it’s not an issue with your (or our) PC. The only solution is to hope they become aware of the problem and fix it with a patch or a silent patch.

    I have exactly the same problem after the last patch.
    i play on full ultra graphics with 250-300 fps locked and i started getting random lag spikes for no reason.

    Any updates on that problem?

    Hello mate, there are no updates, and we’re on day 14... no one is responding, even after numerous attempts to tag the admins and several discussions all concerning the exact same problem.
