FC26 KEEPS FREEZING!!

Has anyone else been having a problem with the game randomly freezing on the menus when you click onto something to go to a different page, or when you go to start or finish a match? The little line keeps going round the FC triangle at the bottom of the screen like it's loading but nothing happens. It's happening on both old and new gen versions on my PS5 and it's really getting on my **bleep** having to restart the game every 5 minutes. Tried deleting and reinstalling both versions, have rebuilt the database, took the fan out and cleaned it in case it was overheating but it isn't and l've got a fan on it anyway. Any suggestions on what else it could be or what I could try would be much appreciated! Cheers.

    Yes, mine has been doing the same thing! Super frustrating. The game doesn’t take too long to restart, but having to do that 20 times whilst playing for an hour is soul destroying

    Is yours still doing this? Mine is still the same and I’m close to giving up as I’m spending more time restarting the game than actually playing it! I did contact EA about it but nothing has happened so far, unsurprisingly!

    Yep, still going on! I’ve noticed if you leave it for a few minutes it stops you having to restart, but it’s almost worse as it literally takes 1-2 minutes for the server to kick back in. I have contacted numerous times and tried numerous fixes. I have another forum chat going at the moment to see if i can get helped that way

    mines still doing this. they are replying to everything but addressing this 

  • Mines also doing it at random times, have done all the ‘fixes’ recommended by EA and it’s still a mess.

    Its freezing when scrolling through players to Evo, its freezing after opening a pack, its freezing when trying to launch into a game or building SBCs, switching to objectives from squad screen. It’s an absolute mess and never used to be this bad …….

    it is so so bad and they refuse to say it’s them and fix it 

  • Up to 11 restarts total just today and that’s following 1 cache rebuild, 1 reinstall, 1 internet speed test (896mb….).

    This game is absolutely tragic and the most basic level.

  • Mine’s been doing it for 2-3 weeks now. Tried all the suggested fixes.

    It was also a problem for me last year. When it first happened in December changing my DNS settings fixed it, but not this time.

    So frustrating, I’m very close to not playing again this year because of it.

    This has been driving me absolutely insane for the last two weeks. Ive tried absolutely everything. Deleting the game, internet settings, deleted cloud and console save data, factory reset PS5

    EA FIX THIS MESS!!!
