Unstable Connection & Ping Spikes During UT Matches (PC – Epic Version)

I am experiencing severe unstable connection and sudden ping spikes during Ultimate Team matches on PC (Epic Games version).

 

Before the match, ping shows around 45–55 ms. During the match it increases to 60 ms and then suddenly spikes much higher, causing lag and eventually disconnecting me with an “unstable connection” error.

Important details:

Platform: PC

Store: Epic Games (launching through EA App)

GPU: RTX 3050 Ti (latest drivers installed)

CPU: i7-11370H

Wired & Wi-Fi both tested

Mobile hotspot tested

IPv6 enabled/disabled tested

Cloudflare WARP tested

Firewall permissions checked

Power settings optimized

Reinstalled the game

 

Nothing fixed the issue.

Previous FC titles (24/25) were stable on the same internet connection (20-30 ms). The problem started with FC 26.

EA Support redirected me here. Epic Games confirmed the game is correctly linked and installed.

This seems like a routing or server-side instability issue.

Please investigate.

 

Thank you.

  • 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.
