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.

  • same bro i have insane input delay. you can check it the best with a corner or free kick. just tap your left stick once and count how long it takes to move it. so frustrating its literally unplayable atm. 

    ai defending became worse the dont mark or track back. and my attackers all stand behind opponent defenders.

    and dont let me start about the dribbling and responsiveness.... like whats the point of having technical if you cant dribble. (i am happy that fidget spinning cancer is gone tho)

    Yoo bro i found a fix. You need to put refresh rate and refresh rate limiter on the same fps. I had mine usually on 360 and unlimited. But the latest patch makes it unplayeble. Ive put both on 240fps. And now it works fine. Its a shame but we got to fix stuff like this ourselfs cuz EA dont care.

    Same. They broke the **bleep** game.

     

    I have a 5080 and 9800x3d. The game simply ran perfectly since day 1. Zero problems. Now it's completely unplayable. massive stuttering no matter the settings. I even format C: which obviously did nothing because the game is broken my computer.

     

    whatever you did, just revert it, because you did not stabilized anything, you just broke it. REVER IT NOW.

    I had similar kind of issue after the update and I just fixed mine so I am here to tell you what I did, might help some. 

    Context:- my game used to run fine. Just 2 days ago the last day of last season my game became unplayable. It starts fine with a little stuttering then gradually it becomes worse to being unplayable. Stutters, slow motion etc all at once. I tried everything, updated every drivers tried different graphics settings. None worked. 

    I saw this comment on yt and reddit it was kinda dumb thought why not give it a shot. I turned off my wireless xbox controller and plugged it again via usb. It fixed now wtf hahaha. The comment said to disconnect your controller and connect it again. So I basically did that and it worked. Soo stupid.

    well, the issue was that they removed the 300 fps limit, so now the game can goes to 500 or 600 fps on a system like ours. so I had to cap fps to 320 to get the less input lag possible ( performance side, because on server side .. lol )
