FC 26 PC – Massive in-game stuttering after the latest update
FC 26 PC – Massive in-game stuttering after the latest update (used to run perfectly at 360 FPS)
Ever since FC-26 launched on PC, I’ve never had any issues.
I’ve always played at 1080p, 360 frames per second, and the game ran perfectly smooth — zero problems.
After today’s latest update, I updated my game and jumped into a Division Rivals match (Elite Division).
That’s when I noticed something really strange: as soon as the kick-off starts, the game begins to stutter heavily — it feels like it’s jumping from 360 FPS down to 240, then suddenly 30 FPS, over and over again. It just feels awful.
The weird part is that cutscenes are still perfectly smooth, exactly like before, and the menus run completely fine as well — no lag, no delay, nothing unusual there.
It’s purely during gameplay that the stutters appear and make the game feel inconsistent and unstable.
I have a beast of a PC, so this is definitely not a hardware issue. This only started happening after this update.
EA mentioned in the patch notes that they improved “PC optimization,” but it actually seems to have made things worse.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Please comment if you are — maybe if enough people report it, EA will fix it soon.
