fc26 fps drop
FC 26 PC has a serious VRAM or memory leak issue that makes the game unplayable on GPUs with 4GB VRAM. I am using an RTX 3050 Laptop GPU with 4GB VRAM, 16GB RAM, Windows 11, DirectX 12, and the game is installed on SSD. The match starts normally at around 60 FPS, but after halftime or in the second half the FPS suddenly drops to 5 to 10 FPS. VRAM usage keeps increasing and is never released, which strongly indicates a memory or shader cache leak. Restarting the game temporarily fixes the issue, but it returns in the very next match. I have already tried clean reinstalling NVIDIA drivers, testing both old and latest versions, clearing shader cache, increasing paging file, lowering graphics settings, disabling overlays, verifying game files, and reinstalling the game, but none of these are permanent solutions. Sometimes reinstalling GPU drivers fixes the issue only for the first launch, and once the game is closed and reopened the problem comes back, which confirms this is a game-side memory handling issue and not a hardware problem. This issue has been affecting PC players with 4GB VRAM GPUs for more than three months, yet there is still no official acknowledgement or fix from EA. I request EA to acknowledge this as a known PC issue, investigate FC 26 VRAM and memory management, release a proper patch instead of temporary workarounds, and communicate clearly with PC players who paid full price for the game.
Unable to connect to servers/cannot process your request - ps5
This has been happening pretty consistently since I bought the game just after the Superbowl, however now I'm simply unable to login as up until a few days ago I was able to brute force a login. I have tried: resetting my router changing connections Checking/comparing connection with other games, including ea titles Resetting my game Deleting and re-downloading the game. Turning cross play off Connecting from other game modes and transferring into mut. Nothing has worked. Based in Australia.
Unable to link my Steam account (it’s linked to an old deleted Hotmail account)
Hi folks! I’m trying to link my Steam account to my EA account, but I’m getting the following error message: “Your accounts can’t be linked because your Steam account XXXX already linked to your EA Account for *******@hotmail.com. An EA Account can only be linked to one Steam account in its lifetime.” The problem is that the Hotmail account no longer exists, I closed that email account a long time ago and I no longer have access to it, so I cannot receive the verification codes required to log into that EA account. Because of this, I’m unable to unlink the Steam account or link it to my current EA account. Could someone from support please help me remove the old EA account link or transfer the link to my current EA account? ThanksNot Receiving 2FA Email Code
I've been trying to rename my EA account for a while, but every time I try to change any setting whatsoever, I need to enter a 2FA code. But every time I check my email I don't get a single thing. My email is linked correctly, I've checked spam, advertising, the trash, everywhere I know, but no matter if I wait for 5 minutes or an hour, nothing shows up, even when I ask them to resend the code. Does anyone have a workaround for this issue?MUT is not working at all, will load Franchise, Superstar, H2H.
Ultimate Team will not load. Madden spins the EA icon for about five seconds then shows 'Our servers cannot process your request at this time. See attached photos. Other modes like Franchise and H2H work normally. I have reinstalled the game and the issue persists. Please reset my MUT lineup/profile. Can EA reset the item that is not working? It would happen once per week, starting about 6 weeks ago. I was able to get around it sometimes by starting in safe mode. Now I can't access MUT at all. Other game modes work. I tried loading one game type, exiting and going in to MUT. Nothing. Always the same errors. NCAA 26 works, NBA 2K26, works. This is beyond frustrating, and it would seem that I am not the only person it is happening to.

Having an issue with Madden 26 on PS5 when loading into game it would display "MISCSERVICEGATEWAY_ERR_SYSTEM" then after about 5-10 seconds in menu would see "CONNECTION LOST". After signing back in and loading MUT, would see "Our servers cannot process your request at this time" before going back to "CONNECTION LOST". Issue has been happening since around December/January which could usually get around by loading into Madden using a hotspot but now this also has the same issue. Issue also occurring on different PlayStation/EA accounts Have tried the following to resolve: - Restart PS5 - Restart Modem/Router - Change DNS settings on PS5 - Clear system cache - Rebuild Database - Unlink PlayStation Network Account from EA account, and re-linked - Uninstall & Reinstall game - Restored License Have noticed a few others have also posted in this forum with the same issue. Is this a known issue with a workaround? Based in New Zealand
The game could not be started due to an error on our end.
I've tried repairing it, uninstalling and reinstalling the AntiCheating service, disabling the antivirus, clearing the cache. I confirmed that Secureboot is enabled, but I can't get past the "The game could not be started due to an error on our end" error.FC 26 SPLASH SCREEN CRASH
Hi everyone, I need help and I want to bring attention to a critical issue that EA Support has finally acknowledged as a server-side bug. The Problem: I bought FC 26 and played it without any issues at the beginning. However, for the last 2 months, I haven't been able to launch the game. Every time I try to start it, it crashes instantly at the splash screen and sends me back to the EA App. What I’ve discovered: It’s not my PC: I can still play FC 25 on this same computer with zero issues. This proves my hardware and drivers are perfectly fine. Handshake Error: After many support sessions, it has been confirmed that the crash happens during the pre-initialization/authentication phase. My account cannot "handshake" with the EA servers to verify my game rights. No Folder Creation: The game crashes so early that it doesn't even create an "FC 26" folder in my Documents. Offline Mode Fails: Even trying to launch the game in Offline Mode leads to the same crash, meaning the license token is completely broken. My Request: EA Support has officially documented this as a potential bug in my case notes (Case ID: 239359087). They admitted that standard support tools cannot fix this and it requires a deeper look into the account's "entitlements." I am not looking for basic troubleshooting steps like "update your drivers" or "clear your cache"—I have done all of that dozens of times. I am requesting a senior technical specialist or a community manager to look into this account-side authentication block. Is anyone else who was previously able to play the game now stuck at the splash screen? How did you get EA to fix your account synchronization?
