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.36KViews147likes459CommentsDisconnected: Unable to connect to the EA servers.
Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my Ultimate Team mode constantly disconnecting me. I get the message "Unable to connect to the EA servers. Please check your internet connection, make sure the Platform Client is online, and try again. Please see ea.com/unable-to-connect for more information". This happens both during SBCs and during gameplay. Sometimes I'll manage to play a full match, only to be disconnected within the 5 or 85 minutes of the next match. What I've already tested: - I deleted the AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26 directory; - I verified the game files; - I disabled all additional programs; - I checked my connection quality, and according to https://help.ea.com/pl/help-tools/ea-connection-report/, my score is 98/100; - The date on the computer is set automatically. The internet at home works fine - speed test shows a stable 300Mbps, connected via cable, router restarted several times, DNS settings set to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (the problem persisted without DNS settings). What can be wrong?Solved22KViews1like13CommentsEA FC 26 ea servers are unavailable

If every online match disconnects and sends you back to the menu, do this (This method doesn’t work if you’re already unable to connect to the EA servers): 1) Close everything Close FC 26, Steam, and the EA App. 2) Delete the FC26 folder Go to: C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USERNAME\AppData\Local If you don’t see AppData: File Explorer → View → Show → Hidden items Delete this folder: "EA SPORTS FC 26" (From the bin too. This does NOT delete the game, just corrupted network sync files.) 3) Verify the game files through Steam • Steam → Library • Right click the game → Properties • Local Files → Verify integrity (It’s correct that it shows you the 3 corrupted files because when you delete the folder, the files are removed, so when you run the verification, it downloads the folder again with the 3 files fixed). Wait for it to finish. 4) Restart your PC 5) Proper launch order • Open EA App • Then open Steam • Launch FC 26 from Steam IMPORTANT: Do NOT change graphic settings. Unless, all the steps become useless. 6) DISCONNECT FIX (do this every time you open the game) 1. Go to Online Settings 2. Set Cross-play → OFF 3. Enter any mode (Pro Clubs / Rush / Rivals) 4. Set Cross-play → ON 5. Start the match I tested this method after the latest patch and I was able to play for hours straight (Pro Clubs, Rush and Ultimate) without getting disconnected or being sent back to the menu. I can confirm that this fix is currently working. Some are reporting that it works and some not. Sometimes when you close and restart the game it will start disconnect again. You have to do all the steps again to let it work. Hope this will help some of you. Sorry in advance to those for whom my help won’t be useful. UPDATE: Some are reporting that the EA team has released this temporary note (still after following this guide — otherwise it’s useless, but I haven’t tested this part yet): “The team has been investigating non-stop since the issue was raised, and thankfully I can report that while we don’t yet have a fix, we DO have a potential workaround. Please tell your PC players to change the setting below: Graphics Settings > Crowd Quality > set to MEDIUM (do not set to ‘Low’)” If the settings don’t save and reset (mostly because you can’t change them in-game after following the steps, otherwise it starts disconnecting you from matches again), please try this method: Press Win + R, type %localappdata%\EA SPORTS FC 26, and press Enter. Find and open fcsetup.ini with Notepad. Change the line crowd_quality = to crowd_quality = 1 (1 = medium). Save and close the file. Right-click fcsetup.ini, go to Properties, check Read-only, then click Apply and OK. I haven’t tried this method yet, so I can’t confirm it. EA OFFICIAL UPDATE PATCH V.1.1.2: "FC 26 v1.1.2 will be out soon, addressing a PC specific disconnect that can occur in online matches. While waiting for this update, players can temporarily change the Crowd Quality setting under Graphics to medium to work around this issue. Please ensure to restart the title for this change to take effect." LAST UPDATE: EA OFFICIALLY PATCHED THE ISSUE WITH THE UPDATE V 1.1.2, This guide is no longer valid. If you are experiencing other disconnection issues, they are no longer caused by the same problem, but by the servers or an issue with your network.Solved18KViews20likes75CommentsSevere Low FPS Makes EA FC 26 Unplayable
I’m experiencing a critical performance issue while playing EA FC 26 on PC that completely breaks the gameplay. During matches, the game suddenly drops to extremely low FPS (around 4–10 FPS), while audio and commentary continue normally. The issue can occur at any point during the match, including halftime or the second half. From my experience, it seems to be triggered only after using Alt+Tab or when exiting the in-game pause menu, but it does not happen consistently, which makes it unpredictable and extremely frustrating. Once the FPS drops, it remains in this broken state until the game is completely restarted. I would like to note that this issue has also occurred on my laptop with an RTX 3050, so it does not appear to be limited to my main PC. This is not a minor stutter or temporary slowdown — this is a severe performance breakdown that ruins the flow of the match and makes playing extremely difficult. My System (main PC): CPU: Intel i5-14600KF GPU: AMD RX 7600 RAM: 32 GB Display: 1920×1080 @ 164 Hz Platform: PC (EA App) Given how severe and disruptive this bug is, I urgently request that this issue be escalated to the QA / Frostbite team for immediate investigation. This is a reproducible problem that affects the core gameplay experience, both offline and online. Thank you for your attention.13KViews66likes39CommentsClubs - Unable to access EA Servers
I'm using FC 26 Trial on Xbox, I can't access Clubs from the main menu, I get the message "Unable to access EA Servers" every time. I can access and play other modes without issue. Might be related... I get asked about my favourite team every time I launch the game. The personal settings file is saved, but it always asks. When I finished a seasons game, I got the message "You have lost access to FC 26" and was sent back to the title screen. I had FC 26 Closed Beta installed when I installed the trial. I played Clubs on FC 26 Closed Beta. I've restarted Xbox including full power cycle, restarted network, deleted profile files, but still the same issue. I tried the PC trial on EA Play and Clubs works fine, I'm using the EA account that is associated with my Xbox account. Edit: Added Closed Beta note, added PC trial test.12KViews84likes88CommentsEA SPORTS FC 26 PC FIX – COMMUNITY GUIDE

When I logged in yesterday I had many players and evos and other season premium pass rewards waiting for me. Since, I have not been able to access that part of the game for a while I guess it just redeemed it for me on its own. However, the there is one Evolution that I am unable to redeem and because of that I can’t open any other packs. I play in PS5 platform but I tried to redeem it on the companion app as well. In both places it’s causing an error to try to redeem this Evo reward from the season’s pass. I have attached some pictures about it and I would truly appreciate some help with this matter since it’s truly affecting my progress in the game.9.6KViews105likes519CommentsPC - Update Disconnect FIX
