Cutscene → Gameplay FPS Drop (10 FPS) – Optimus / Dual Monitor – Unplayable Bug
Hello, I want to report a major FPS bug in EA SPORTS FC. My laptop: Monster A5, Intel iGPU + NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti (Optimus), external monitor, Windows 11. The bug: Whenever the game enters any pre-rendered video scene (player walkout, tunnel cutscene, stadium intro, pack opening), FPS drops from 80-120 to 10 and never recovers until I restart. What I tried: DX12→DX11 launch options, editing overrideAutodetect.lua, shader cache cleanup, deleting ProfileOptions, disabling V-Sync/G-Sync, forcing NVIDIA GPU, rebuilding DX shader cache, fullscreen/windowed modes, turning off NIS, resetting graphics, reinstalling, updating drivers, single monitor, disabling Game Mode, running as admin. Nothing fixes it. This is a known issue on Optimus laptops. Please forward to the dev team.
