Fix FPS drops and Graphics settings changing automatically [FC26] [PC]

FPS drops and graphics settings are still changing automatically. They promised a fix in v1.1.0. Why does it still persist, even in v1.2.1? I've tried everything to prevent the FPS drops as seen in the video, starting with lowering all settings and trying 720p, but the FPS drops are unavoidable. I've tried various things in the NVIDIA Control Panel, in-game settings, changing the VSync, and lowering the render scale, but nothing has resolved the FPS drops and graphics settings changing automatically. I hope the FC26 PC game developers act quickly. I won't be able to play FC26 comfortably if this continues. The FPS drop bug is very random. I've included a video of the FPS drop bug and the graphics settings changing automatically. Here's the link:

Update: even in update 1.2.1 they didn't fix it at all, random FPS drops still happen, graphic settings change by themselves, EA doesn't even care, even though this is very fatal

    Hello my friend, is your problem solved? 

    Because I'm having this problem too.

    I've been having this problem since the game launched and it's been a terrible experience. EA, please fix this.

    I have had to redo my controller game setting every load of the game since release. 

    I also can't play many skill games because the players won't move.

    I play on pc via the ea app.

    I bought this game to have fun and to continue my Ultimate Team season run. It has now been nearly THREE MONTHS since launch, and this issue is STILL not fixed. By this point, most players have already built fully stacked squads, while affected players have been completely left behind with no way to compete.

    Let’s be honest—this is clearly no longer a priority for EA. The game was sold, the money was collected, and now there’s no refund option, so the problem is simply being ignored. Not even a proper update, timeline, or transparent communication. Just silence.

    Multiple bug reports, forum threads, and complaints have been posted since day one, yet there’s been no meaningful response or resolution. This shows a shocking level of negligence, especially toward the PC player base, which always seems to be treated as second-class.

    As a direct result of this ongoing failure, a massive number of PC players have already moved back to FC 25, because at least that game is actually playable. That says everything about how badly this title has been handled. A game with huge potential has been completely ruined by poor support, lack of accountability, and outright indifference.

    This isn’t just disappointing—it’s unacceptable. If EA can’t support the product after taking full payment, then don’t be surprised when players lose trust and walk away.

    In the 1.5.4 update, EA's promised fixes for performance stability and FPS drops turned out to be empty promises. The random FPS drop bug persists, and I've experienced FPS drops of up to 15-25 fps at the start of a match. I've also experienced a very smooth 90-120 fps in the first match, but in the second half and subsequent matches, the FPS drops to 15-25 fps again.

    I had to re-enter the match several times, sometimes up to 5-10 times, before the FPS returned to normal at 90-120 fps. The graphics settings bug was also still present when I tested it. I'm very disappointed.

    How long will you guys be like this? You're ruining your own game, promising a fix, but it turns out there's no fix at all. Do I need to make another live video to really believe you?
