Persistent FPS degradation after halftime – still unresolved after updates (PC)

I am posting this out of genuine frustration and disappointment.

EA Sports FC 26 on PC continues to suffer from severe FPS degradation during matches, particularly after halftime. The game starts smoothly, then becomes slow, unresponsive, and unpleasant to play.

This issue persists despite multiple updates released by EA that were intended to address performance problems. In my case, the situation has not improved and may even be worse.

This is not a hardware or configuration problem. I run other demanding games without issues, and previous FC editions worked fine on the same system.

Many PC players across Steam and EA Answers HQ are reporting the same problem. This appears to be a core engine or optimization issue that still has not been properly resolved.

I regret purchasing FC 26 and sincerely hope EA acknowledges this problem and delivers a real fix, not just minor adjustments. At the moment, the game does not meet acceptable performance standards on PC.

  • Hello EA Help Team,

     

    I am experiencing severe performance issues in EA FC 26 since the game launched.

     

    As soon as I start the game and enter a match, my FPS drops to around 10 and the game becomes unplayable. The menu works normally, but once gameplay starts there is constant stuttering and heavy lag, making it impossible to play matches.

     

    This has been happening since release and was not an issue in previous EA FC titles. I have not changed any hardware or system settings, and my system meets the game’s requirements.

     

    Platform: PC

    Game Mode: Online and Offline (both affected)

    Issue occurs: Every match

     

    I have already tried restarting the game/system, lowering graphics settings, and reinstalling the game, but the issue persists.

     

    Please let me know if this is a known issue or if there is a fix or patch planned, because at the moment the game is unplayable.

     

    Thank you for your help.

     

    Best regards,

    Marko
