Severe Low FPS Makes EA FC 26 Unplayable

I’m experiencing a critical performance issue while playing EA FC 26 on PC that completely breaks the gameplay. During matches, the game suddenly drops to extremely low FPS (around 4–10 FPS), while audio and commentary continue normally.

The issue can occur at any point during the match, including halftime or the second half. From my experience, it seems to be triggered only after using Alt+Tab or when exiting the in-game pause menu, but it does not happen consistently, which makes it unpredictable and extremely frustrating. Once the FPS drops, it remains in this broken state until the game is completely restarted.

I would like to note that this issue has also occurred on my laptop with an RTX 3050, so it does not appear to be limited to my main PC.

This is not a minor stutter or temporary slowdown — this is a severe performance breakdown that ruins the flow of the match and makes playing extremely difficult.

My System (main PC):
CPU: Intel i5-14600KF
GPU: AMD RX 7600
RAM: 32 GB
Display: 1920×1080 @ 164 Hz
Platform: PC (EA App)

Given how severe and disruptive this bug is, I urgently request that this issue be escalated to the QA / Frostbite team for immediate investigation. This is a reproducible problem that affects the core gameplay experience, both offline and online.

Thank you for your attention.
