Hi,

I’m running into a serious performance issue on EA SPORTS FC 26. The game starts smooth at 1080p, low settings, around 144 FPS, but as soon as the second half begins in Rivals or Squad Battles, performance collapses to 5–10 FPS and the screen turns pixelated. It only jumps back to normal after the game finishes, but the problem keeps repeating every match. Lowering resolution or settings makes no difference.

My system:

Intel i5-9400F
GTX 1650
16 GB RAM

What I’ve tried:

Updated GPU drivers
Reinstalled the game
Changed from HDD to SSD and settings (NVIDIA panel + in-game)
Tested different resolutions

On FC 25, the same PC ran the game smoothly at 1080p/144 FPS without issues. Right now FC 26 is basically unplayable. Is this a known bug and will there be a fix?

Thanks.
