Unplayable 5 FPS Drop & VRAM Leak on Capable PC (FC 26)
Subject: CRITICAL ISSUE: Game Unplayable - Persistent 5 FPS Drop & Input Delay on PC (FC 26) To EA Technical Support Team, I am writing this as a loyal fan of the franchise who has been playing since FIFA 14 across various platforms. For the past three years, I have been playing FC 24, FC 25, and FC 26 exclusively on PC. Unfortunately, with FC 26, I am facing severe technical issues that I never encountered in the previous titles. I purchased FC 26 two weeks ago. Although I have logged about 8-9 hours in the game, I have not been able to complete a single match without issues. The game is currently in an unplayable state due to a persistent 5 FPS lock and massive input delay. Here are the specific details of the issue: Inconsistent Performance: Sometimes, I can play the first match smoothly at 90 FPS. However, as soon as I exit and start a second match (or change modes), the frame rate instantly drops to 5 FPS and gets stuck there. Resource Usage Anomaly: When this FPS drop occurs, my GPU usage hits 100%, yet the performance is non-existent. This strongly suggests a severe VRAM leak or an optimization failure within the game engine. Randomness: The issue seems completely random but inevitable. It happens regardless of the game mode. Troubleshooting Steps I Have Already Taken: I have tried every possible solution on my end, but nothing has fixed the issue: Performed a completely clean installation of Windows 11. Set my laptop and GPU to "High Performance" / "Ultimate Performance" modes. Monitored hardware temperatures; thermals are completely normal and within safe limits. Updated all drivers and BIOS to the latest versions. Conclusion: I was able to play FC 24 and FC 25 at over 100 FPS flawlessly on this exact same system. This confirms that my hardware is fully capable and the problem lies entirely within FC 26's game files and optimization. Currently, I feel like my money has been wasted as the product is defective. I have attached the necessary log files and screenshots below. I urgently request a solution or an imminent patch update to fix this memory/performance bug. I cannot play the game I paid for. Looking forward to a quick resolution. Regards,
[BF6] Share Your Experience: Hitreg, Rubberbanding, and Connection Icons
Hey everyone 👋 We’re taking a closer look at reports related to hit registration issues, rubberbanding, and how the current connection warning icons behave during matches. Some players have mentioned that these issues occur consistently for them, and we’d love to gather more real-world in-game examples to help us understand what’s happening in different situations. If you experience these issues regularly and are willing to share screenshots or short videos, your contribution would be extremely helpful. What We’re Looking For 1. Rubberbanding or connection-feeling issues If you see warning icons frequently or experience movement stutters/teleporting: Please share: A screenshot or short video If you’re sharing screenshots, make sure to attach them to your post -- do not embed them. This helps ensure they display correctly for everyone. With the Simple Performance Overview enabled With the Full Network Overlay enabled These help us understand whether the in-game icons match what’s actually happening with your performance or connection at that moment. 2. Consistent hit registration problems If hitreg regularly feels off for you: Please share: A short video showing the moment(s) where it happens With both overlays enabled (Simple Performance + Network Overlay) This allows us to distinguish between true network issues and client-side performance issues that can sometimes appear similar. How to Enable the Overlays Below are the steps for both PC and console players. 🎮 Console (PS5 / Xbox Series) Simple Performance Overview Open Settings in the game menu. Go to Graphics. Scroll to Performance Overlay (sometimes under “Advanced”). Turn it On, choosing either: Simple, or Advanced/Extended (if available) Network Overlay Open Settings. Go to Network, or Gameplay → Advanced, depending on your layout. Enable Network Performance Overlay or Network Graph. Once enabled, you’ll see indicators like latency, packet loss, and connection stability. 🖥️ PC Simple Performance Overview Open Settings. Go to Graphics. Scroll to Advanced. Enable Performance Overlay. Choose Simple or Advanced/Extended. Full Network Overlay Open Settings. Go to Network or Gameplay → Advanced. Enable Network Performance Overlay or Network Graph. Optional PC console command method (Only if you’ve enabled the console in settings.) Go to Settings → System, enable Command Console. Press ~ (tilde) in-game. Use the command: PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1 To turn it off: PerfOverlay.DrawFps 0 How to Share Your Screenshots/Videos Please upload your clips using: Google Drive OneDrive Dropbox Imgur Streamable YouTube (unlisted is fine) Important: Ensure your link is set to public or “Anyone with the link can view.” Private links cannot be opened. If you’re sharing screenshots, make sure to attach them to your post -- do not embed them. This helps ensure they display correctly for everyone. What Happens After You Share We may reply with follow-up questions or ask if you are open to trying a couple of small tests (like adjusting FPS caps or checking CPU usage). This is completely optional and intended only to help narrow down the causes. We’re not making promises about outcomes -- the goal here is simply to gather clear, consistent examples so we can better understand what players are experiencing. How to Participate When posting your report, please include: A public link to your screenshot/video A short description of what happened Your platform (PC, PS5, Xbox Series) Whether the issue is consistent/reproducible for you Thanks to everyone who takes the time to share examples -- it genuinely helps move these investigations forward and improves the experience for all players.
Regarding the Mini Scout Headshot
I believe the headshot one-shot kill range for the Mini Scout should be capped at 100m. The reason is that the Mini Scout outperforms all other sniper rifles at nearly every distance, rendering the other three sniper rifle types obsolete. If the headshot one-shot kill range cannot be limited to 100m, I think it would be acceptable to increase the attachment requirement points for the Mini Scout by about 10.
