FIX for controller not working in online matches and slow-motion gameplay

If you’re running into these issues (maybe even both at the same time, like I was), this fix might help:

I tracked the problem down to Windows 11 automatically running the game on the wrong GPU.

Fix:

Go to Settings > Display > Graphics

Find FC26 in the list

Expand the dropdown under GPU preference

If it’s on “Let Windows decide (power saving)”, switch it to your discrete GPU (RTX in my case)

After doing this, the slow-motion gameplay should be gone—provided your PC meets or exceeds the minimum specs—and your DualSense controller should work properly in online matches too.
