Performance Degradation (Still Exists) on PC
Hello EA and EA Sports,
Performance degradation still exists on PC platform, affected users are currently not deterministic as the Root Cause itself is still unknown. It'll degrade in performance on 2nd Match, in Career mode it happens after i finished the first match, FPS drops significantly to 5-10 fps even on the menus.
This raise some concerns for future FC titles, as of now, FC 26 is an improvement over the base FC25, but let's say FC27 is FC26 + Improvements, does bug like this could still exists? or will it introduce more bugs? Bugs are fine, but crucial like this should be taken priority over the rest.
Now on to the bug;
My PC been running FC 25 on High settings flawlessly! but sadly for FC 26 it doesn't run well, despite the graphics being not that far off, but the performance isn't stable, First match runs okay, 60fps, 30fps for cutscenes on low settings, it's a very good experience. But after the first match ends, it starts to stutters and fps drops to 5-10 ish even when i picked the Quit Match (Back to menu) it still persists, seems like it's taken my GPU to 100%, even when the screen is not rendering anything (just Kickoff menu).
Yesterday I bought a handheld PC, bought FC 26 + FC 25 bundle and create a new EA account and surprisingly it doesn't happen! It plays normal
My PC specs are not that high, therefore i play at low settings, meanwhile on my handheld pc (ROG XBOX ALLY X) i keep existing Auto settings.
My suspicions are:
- Cloud Saves could be overriding my local Graphics settings (revert back to what it was on FC25 maybe?)
- Shader compilation is flawed? (since in FC25 there's no shader comp it runs fine, meanwhile on FC26 it runs badly)
- Permission issue on Windows for saving and reading graphics config? (less likely)
Extra Notes:
2nd halfs are fine now (thank you devs), but 2nd match and beyond is FUBAR.
You need to test it on PC with people that has played FC25 and with High settings, then run FC 26 on low settings.
Best Regards,
Mameng
