Unstable frame rate and delayed player response

Hi,

I've been experiencing a major issue with input lag and overall game smoothness in EA FC 26. The gameplay feels extremely sluggish, almost as if it's running in slow motion - every action, pass or shot happens with a noticeable delay.

What's strange is that my system runs other gmaes, including previous EA FC titles completly fine - i've never had this issue in earlier versions like in EA FC 25, 24 or even FIFA 23. The frame rate is stable in menus or offline modes, but in online matches (like Rivals, Champions, Rush) i experience FPS drops and massive input delay.


Because of this, the game has become unplayable - it's almost impossible to react properly or enjoy the gameplay when there's such heavy delay and inconsistent performance.

I've already tried:

- Lowering graphics settings
- Restarting the game and PC (even reseting WINDOWS SYSTEM)
- Switching between fullscren and other modes
- Disabling background apps
- Updating GPU drivers and WIndows

None of these made any difference. It feels like the game runs perfectly smooth offline, but once connected online, the responsiveness and frame rate drop dramatically.

Has anyone else experienced this in FC 26, or is there any known fix from EA?

    Same here, Unplayable game, sometimes i can play 1 whole game, but most of the times i can play 1st half, then second half my fps drops massively, sometimes also after opening a pack or just loading FUT menu. EA please fix this problem!

  • Impossível de jogar. As mudanças que faço não dão efeito e o jogo entra em configurações aleatórias por si mesmo.

    same problem, huge ping drop and everything is just so laggy and unplayable

     

  • Framerate drops in the second half of every game. Utterly broken and total waste of money. So disappointing. 

    Steam won't provide a refund due to me taking 2 hours idling trying to fix the game. 

    Scam. 

    Specs:

    Processor    12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12700H (2.30 GHz)

    16gb RAM

  • Yep, same issue here and with a couple of my friends. It seems, so far, EA has stolen huges sums of money off of its fans and are refusing to address it directly too them. If they are working on the issues behind doors then find a way to address people clearly that you are working on it. Also, your whole promo for this game was you listened to the fan.. I dont think thats the case. All your fans are screaming at EA right now and have been for weeks and EA is ignoring everyone of them about this issue. EA needs a better customer service process and better communication.
