[PC] Bad Game Performance, stuttering and slow Gameplay

Hello, 

why has my last Thread been deleted?

I have a big problem with FC 26 on my PC. The gameplay is very slow, it stutters and is simply not responsive. 

My rig:
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 
RTX 4090, latest drivers installed
32 GB DDR5 RAM 
Windows 11 Pro, latest version as of today. 
The game is installed on a PCI-E 5 Nvme. 

My internet provider:
Vodafone Germany 
Download: 1 GBit 
Upload: 50 MBit
Average ping: 16 ms
Average jitter: less than 0.2
LAN connection to the modem without additional access points.

About the problem:
The game is almost unplayable in any online game mode. Despite my very good hardware, I have slow gameplay, the game stutters sporadically and the FPS drops. My players move very sluggishly, slowly and are simply not agile and responsive.

I didn't have that problem in Early Access. Now, since the last patch, it's in a state where I can no longer play. 

What I have already tried: 
Uninstalled the game, Repaired the game, Deleted the EA app cache,   Tried all graphics settings, low, medium, high, V-Sync on or off, 720p, 1080p, 2k or 4k resolution - none of this brings any improvement. 

Many PC players are also complaining about the game's poor performance in the official EAFC Discord. Please take the problem seriously!

Yours sincerely.

  • I found a temporary fix, which is not ideal at all, but it could give you the possibility to at least play the game. 
    Try go to Settings -> Display -> cap the fps to 60 and also turn on VSync. Also from Display settings try to reduce the image quality from 100 to 50. The image quality is not good but at least you will play the game. Of course EA need to fix this ASAP. 
    Share if this works for you

    This cannot be the claim that you use expensive hardware just to limit a game to 60 FPS so that the game runs. But thanks for your input.

    I swear stupid suggestions like this get brought up every year on fifa but they never work 😂 the game runs incredibly well on early release and then as soon as the full version comes out it becomes unresponsive. If only I could experience that early release gameplay again 😗

  • New Patch is live - Short review: Nothing has been changed performance wise. Still stuttering, still FPS Drops, graphic settings still reset. GPU usage is still 99%, even in Menus.

  • Thanks ME7GORE. Good to know. I won't waste my time installing the game again. Ive already cancelled my EA Pro Play subscription.
