Middle Eastern Servers Not Working On Pro Clubs (3 Month Issue)
It is currently impossible to queue into Middle East servers in League and Cup Matches. Whenever my friends and I attempt to find a match on the Middle East server, matchmaking searches for a while before displaying "Matchmaking Failed." This issue has been ongoing for approximately 2-3 months and appears to affect players across the entire Middle East region. The only workaround is to play on Western European servers with 150+ ms ping, which significantly impacts gameplay. Please investigate and resolve this issue as soon as possible, as everybody in the Middle East is unable to access their local servers.
Gameplay Freezing and Stutters After Recent Update (Title Update v1.6.2 ）
Issue Summary Since Title Update v1.6.2, I am experiencing intermittent gameplay freezes. The game will completely freeze for a few seconds before resuming. Game Modes Affected Ultimate Team - Squad Battles (Single Player): The issue happens during offline matches, which rules out network/connectivity issues. I have attached video evidence of this occurring during a Squad Battles match. Online Modes: The issue becomes significantly more severe when playing online, where the freeze duration can extend to 3+ seconds. System Specifications OS: Windows 11 Pro CPU: Intel Core i7-14700KF GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 To resolve this, I tried adjusting several graphics settings, but the freezing persists regardless of the configuration: Swapped graphics presets between Low and Ultra qualities. Toggled between Full Screen and Borderless window modes.Issue in online games
In UT, if i was to go into squad battles, my game would run perfectly smooth, no delay, set pieces go normally. The second i go into an online match, I have massive delay on set pieces, the game runs smooth still, no delay during normal play, menus and cutscenes go by fine. But when its a set piece, suddenly, my shot is overcharged even tho i let my shoot button go, my camera keeps rotating after i release the stick, I make a pass after 3 seconds of waiting post pressing the button. I've tried changing a bunch of settings, tried even switching PC, but nothing worksSQUAD SELECTOR NOT WORKING!!!!!!!
So I know I'm not alone so can I please get a response from someone who has some sort of connection to the update team as I, along with thousands and millions of others, are unable to use squad selector - it freezes and we have to restart and it still doesn't work, it freezes again and so impossible to play. This is ridiculous. It's just a changing squad function. This must be a simple fix. Sort it out.
Time of Day setting is broken in Ultimate Team after the latest Title Update
Hi everyone, I am reporting a consistent visual/setting bug that started happening immediately after the latest Title Update in Ultimate Team. The "Time of Day" settings are completely broken and reset themselves. No matter what I select in the settings, the match always forces Daytime on the stadium, even when it should be Night. Steps to reproduce: Go to the Ultimate Team match settings / conditions menu. Set "Weather" to Custom and try to change the time parameters. Even with "Dynamic Time of Day" set to 21:30 and "Time of Day" manually switched, the UI or the match engine overrides it (as shown in the attached file). Once you enter the match, it is bright daylight outside, completely ignoring the night-time / artificial lighting preferences. This ruins the gameplay consistency and shadow tracking on certain stadiums. EA, please look into this—every new patch seems to break basic match conditions that were working perfectly fine before. Is anyone else experiencing this on PS5 or other platforms?
Severe FPS Drops (5-10 FPS) in every game mode, even in Menus
Hi, I’ve been running into a major performance issue in EA FC 26 that makes the game literally unplayable for me. I tried to play RUSH, sometimes I get smooth gameplay, but most of the time the framerate suddenly goes to 5–10 FPS from the very beginning of the match. Even worse, when the match ends, the game stays stuck at 5–10 FPS in the menus as well. I tested Rivals and Offline Kick-off, and the same thing happened. This makes no sense because: My system should handle the game fine I play on LOW graphics settings I’ve optimized settings in both NVIDIA Control Panel and AMD software for max performance Other games (FC 25, BF1, BF2042) run smoothly without any issues My specs: Windows 11 16GB RAM AMD Ryzen 5 5600H GeForce RTX 3050 4GB At this point, I can’t properly play any mode. I’d really appreciate if EA could look into this because it feels like a serious optimization problem. Thanks.Controller pausing every 30 seconds making the game unplayable
Every single game my controller inputs are paused and my player just walks in one direction for 30 seconds and I cant do anything about it. Ive tried everything, literally everything to fix this stupid bug cus genuinely it ruins the already terrible game. For the love of everything please fix this stupid bug on pc. As well as this sometimes when in the first game it is just a black screen and your forced to close and get a loss. This game is horrible for mental health.
260 ping only in Clubs
Since one of the last updates (1-2 weeks ago) me and my club mates are experiencing new issue. In every game 2-3 out of 5-6 players have around 260 ping, while the rest has normal 30 ping. Every match different players are affected, so it's clearly not on our side. We play crossplay and it affects both PC and console users. Obviously something is broken in the game. Please help because at this point Clubs game mode is literally unplayable. We all tried resetting routers, we use wired connection etc. We don't have any connection issues in other games, and also in other game modes in FC26. The same issue has been raised by chewierrock625 in thread: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/fc-26-technical-issues-en/low-ping-on-ut-high-ping-on-clubs/13197064 EA_Darko you claimed there that it's not in-game issue as you don't see many reports for it. So... It is in-game issue and needs to be fixed ASAP, because we literally can't play this game mode.
