Slow-motion gameplay although FPS is 120

Lock the FPS from Nvidia Control Panel. Try 120 first. Usually locking it equally to your screen HZ works. This is the only working solution for slowmo. 

EA_Hux​ what type of file video have to be? I cant upload .mp4 .avi. mov

issue happens right after I open the game. In menus in game modes online offline no matter what I try to play.

EA_Hux​ your turn. I have same issues with my game as everyone in this forum now for days :)

Hi, thanks for looking into this. I’m affected by the slow-motion / heavy gameplay issue on PC and here are my details.

Hardware / 
• PC : AMD ryzen 7
• GPU: RTX 3060 (6 GB)
• RAM: 16 GB
• Storage: SSD
• Windows 11 

When the issue happens
• Heavy menus already in Ultimate Team
• The gameplay feels very heavy and random fps drops are a headache.
•Yes even more so during corners, celebrations cutscenes it drops to 10-15 fps and stays the same entire match.
• Every mode, happens even in squad battles.

What it feels like
• Strong input delay (players react late to commands)
• Random FPS drops and stutter
• Menus feel unusually heavy and slow to navigate

Graphics settings
• Native resolution
• Rendering scale at 100
• Hair strands off, all graphics set to low.
• V-Sync off.

I’ve already tried the common troubleshooting steps suggested by the community (lower settings, config tweaks, etc.), but the core issue remains. The game feels consistently heavy and unresponsive compared to what the hardware should handle.

please solve this issues asap. the current state of the game is unplpayable.

Hi everyone,

We’re investigating reports of slow-motion gameplay and FPS issues. If you’re affected, please share:

• Full hardware specs (platform, CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD/HDD, laptop or desktop)
• When the issue happens – Does it start during cutscenes? Only in gameplay? Only online or in specific modes?
• What it feels like – Input delay, network lag, FPS drops/stuttering, or slow motion despite high FPS?
• Your graphics settings (resolution, rendering scale, V-Sync/VRR, etc.)

If possible, please include a short video showing the issue (with FPS/monitoring overlay if on PC).

Thanks for the help!

ok, try putting your PC offline then uninstall and reinstall EA Javelin anti cheat then try to start the game first offline then online and check if it works, if it doesn't work you can try clearing the cache of the EA app, if it still doesn't work you can first make a backup of the EA SPORT 26 folder (located in C:\Users\your user\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26) then delete the original folder so as to force the game to recreate clean data from the last update.Also try installing the latest version of visual from here:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-supported-redistributable-version

Nah, sadly didn't help. Also noticed that when entering the game CPU throttles heavily from 3.7-4.0 GHz to 1.0-1.5 GHz in the match while load on it is about 40-50%. GPU is not loaded on 100% it is around 80%. I think the CPU thing is causing this game to have problems. Definitely the game's issue. As I can play ARC Raiders on this laptop quite comfortably on medium. 

The thing I like is how EA support ignores the issue completely. If the player already paid for the game why fixing the issues. The money is already theirs. 

Thx
Will try and get back to you with a result!

Hello, I had the same problems too. First, set the settings you play well with in the eafc 26 menu, either from the nvidia app or directly from the fcsetup.ini file. Then, try setting the configuration files (fcsetup.ini, fcsetup_default.ini, overrideAutodetect.lua) to read-only first, and then deny them write access for each user. That's how I solved it. However, I think the biggest problems or the settings that should be lowered are the rendering scale (even lowering the normal resolution to 720p, 1080p caused a drop in fps with the rendering scale at 100), Ambient Occlusion to medium-low, and setting Hair Strands to off. I hope this helps you solve the problem.
