PC – Massive FPS drops during matches, game unplayable

Hi everyone, I want to check if more PC players are experiencing this issue.
I have around 150 hours played in EA FC 26 on PC, but for the last ~60 hours the game has been almost unplayable. The main problem is massive FPS drops during matches, very often in the second half. FPS can drop from ~90 to 15 or even lower. Sometimes it happens from the start of the match. Gameplay becomes very choppy, player and ball movement feels delayed and unresponsive.
This is not a hardware issue. My PC runs all other modern games at max settings without any FPS drops or stuttering. EA FC 26 is the only game where this happens.
I’ve tried basically everything: different in-game settings, driver updates, system optimizations, config tweaks, and fixes recommended by the community. Some solutions helped only for a few matches, then the problem came back.
Is anyone else dealing with the same issue on PC? Did anyone find a real, long-term fix, or is this a known problem that EA is working on?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

    yeah, sadly this problem is here from the begining and they didnt do anything about it..

  • I have this randomly as well - it's not consistent and I can't recreate it.  The other thing that happens alot is the random speed change during corners.  

    I honestly feel like pausing the game does something because after any pause or half, it does sometimes bug out and the gameplay is worse.

    If anyone can recreate or figure out a specific action that causes it, that's very helpful to get it appropriately investigated.
