Severe FPS drop after halftime on PC

EA SPORTS FC 26 runs smoothly at 60+ FPS at match start, but after halftime the game becomes unplayable.

First half runs perfectly, at halftime (menu/cinematic), menus start lagging
Second half runs at 10–15 FPS permanently
FPS does not recover via Alt+Tab or settings changes
Performance only recovers after exiting the match, switching modes, opening packs, or restarting the game

This happens consistently in Kick-Off and Ultimate team formats> Rivals and Squad games.

System: Ryzen 7, RTX 3050, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11 (PC)
Notes: GPU is correctly used, multiple settings tested (DX11, borderless, VSync off, etc.).
Updating GPU drivers and Windows. I have tested with external FPS caps with Nvidia control panel. I have tried with Disabling all overlays, clearing shader and cache files but nothing seems to work.

Requesting an official workaround or confirmation that this PC issue is being investigated.

  • They have been writing to them about this problem for 2 months now, the developers have not responded, I have already lost all faith that this will be fixed. And I left the game.

  • Exact same thing for me, been doing evrything, spent hours trying to fix, reset my pc, changed about every setting know to man kind, i have most given up.
