Advanced Access Feedback Update - EA SPORTS FC 26

[p]Thank you for sharing your feedback and reporting the issues you’ve experienced with FC 26. We’re listening closely and working around the clock to make your experience better. Here’s some of the issues you've told us about so far, and what we're doing about them:
[/p][h3]Unable To Enter The Game[/h3][p]
Status: Addressed

When FC 26 first became available, we had an issue where you weren’t able to enter the game. Our teams worked on this problem from the moment it started occurring, and we identified and addressed the cause within an hour and a half of launch.
[/p][h3]Controllers Not Responding[/h3][p]
Status: Investigating
[/p][p]
We’ve heard your feedback about controllers not registering inputs at times or dropping inputs entirely during matches.[/p][p]
We’re investigating the cause of this right now and will provide an update as soon as one is available.[/p][p][/p][p]If you haven’t already, be sure to update the firmware on your controller below:[/p][p]
A card for this has been created on the EASFC Tracker, you can follow along there for updates.[/p][h3]
Online Lag And Delay[/h3][p]
Status: Addressed[/p][p]
We had an issue causing a number of players to connect to FC Game Data Centers that were non-optimal. For example, if you would normally connect to data center A, the issue might have sent you to data center B.[/p][p]
We identified the cause here quickly and our teams were able to address the issue, so the game should no longer be sending players to incorrect FC Game Data Centers.
[/p][h3]Missing Content / Season Pass[/h3][p][/p][p]Status: Addressed with a potential small workaround needed.[/p][p]
If you’re missing any pre-order in-game content or access to the Season Pass, shutting FC 26 game down fully and restarting while connected to the internet typically enables our backend systems to re-check your content and give it to you.
[/p][p]To learn more about pre-order content and benefits, you can check out this article.[/p][h3]
Optimization And Stability[/h3][p][/p][p]Status: Investigating[/p][p]
We hear your feedback about graphical performance and stability and are investigating reports we see (like the one time freeze on the Squad screen for example). [/p][p]
Since PC setups can vary greatly, we ask that you please give us as much information as possible when telling us about the stability or graphical issues you might be experiencing.[/p][p]
What would be super helpful to us to see is:

- System specs.[/p][p]- Controllers in use.[/p][p]- Time/date of issue including time zone.[/p][p]- Game Area/Feature/Mode.[/p][p]- Screenshots/Videos[/p][p]- How often it happens.[/p][p]- EA account username.[/p][p]- Detailed description of the issue you’re experiencing and what was happening before it started occurring.[/p][p]
We appreciate your patience and support. We’ll provide more updates in the community here as they come in, and you can also get updates from our development teams in a number of different ways.[/p][p]
The EASFC Tracker is where you can see a selection of what our development team is working on, and you can find us on X and WhatsApp as well.[/p][p]

EA SPORTS FC™ 26 | FC 26 PC Deep Dive

Hey everyone! In the PC Deep Dive Pitch Notes we’re diving into all the ways we’ve improved the PC experience for EA SPORTS FC 26. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve made foundational changes that give you more control, smoother performance, and clearer settings across the board.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Controller Support Enhancements
  • Expanded Display Settings
  • Improved Graphics Settings Usability
  • Display Settings Guide
  • Graphics Settings Guide
  • PC Requirements
  • EA Javelin Anticheat

[h2]Controller Support Enhancements[/h2]

We know many of you play on PC with controllers, and this year we’ve added more immersive support.

  • DualShock®4 Support: Full vibration support when playing on PC with a USB connection.
  • DualSense™ Controller Support: Includes haptics and adaptive triggers for a more immersive experience with a USB connection (basic vibration support over Bluetooth).

[h2]Expanded Display Settings[/h2]

We’ve added more flexibility so you can fine tune FC 26 to match your setup and preferences.

  • Active Monitor Selection: Choose which monitor you want to run the game on directly from in-game settings.
  • Aspect Ratio Filter: Quickly find supported resolutions based on your display’s aspect ratio.
  • More Frame Rate Limit Options: Frame rate limits now extend beyond 120 FPS, with support for 144, 165, and 240 FPS.
  • More VSync Options: Sync your frame rate to a fraction of your monitor’s refresh rate (½, ⅓, ¼).
  • Render Scale: Adjust resolution relative to your render setting, especially useful for windowed or borderless modes.
  • Dynamic Resolution FPS Target: Set a performance target to trigger dynamic resolution scaling automatically.

[h2]Improved Graphics Settings Usability[/h2]

We’ve worked to make PC graphics settings easier to understand and quicker to configure.

  • Informative Settings Descriptions: Every graphics setting now includes descriptions and impact details on CPU, GPU, and VRAM usage.
  • Graphics Quality Presets: Switch between predefined options like Low, Medium, High, Ultra, and Auto to adjust quality settings (restart required to take effect).

[h2]Display Settings Guide[/h2]

Here’s a breakdown of key display settings, grouped for easier navigation.

[h3]Screen Setup[/h3]
  • Active Monitor (NEW): Choose which monitor displays the game in Borderless or Full Screen.
  • Display Mode:
    Borderless: Fills your screen without borders (cannot be resized).
    Fullscreen: Uses your entire screen.
    Windowed: Runs in a resizable, movable window.
  • Aspect Ratio (NEW): Filters resolutions by chosen aspect ratio (Fullscreen only).
  • Screen Resolution: Sets display resolution. Higher = sharper image, but lower performance (Fullscreen only). Borderless uses OS resolution. Tip: use Render Scale to adjust in Borderless.

[h3]Frame Rate & Refresh[/h3]
  • Refresh Rate: Controls how often your monitor refreshes (Fullscreen only).
  • Frame Rate Limit: Caps FPS when VSync is off.
  • VSync: Syncs FPS to your monitor to prevent tearing.
    Off: No sync.
    On: Matches refresh rate.
    50%, 33%, 25%: Syncs FPS to a fraction of refresh rate.
    [Example: On a 240Hz monitor → 120 FPS (50%), 80 FPS (33%), 60 FPS (25%).
  • Cutscene Performance: Controls FPS in cutscenes, menus, replays, and set-piece cameras.
    Half Frame Rate: 50% of refresh rate or frame limit.
    Full Frame Rate: Matches your frame rate limit. Disabled when VSync is fractional.

[h3]Scaling Tools[/h3]
  • Render Scale (NEW): Adjusts render resolution relative to screen resolution.
    Below 100% = better performance, less sharp
    Above 100% = sharper visuals, heavier GPU load.
  • Dynamic Resolution Scaling (DRS): Lowers resolution dynamically to maintain FPS (GPU-limited only).
  • Dynamic Resolution FPS Target: Set the FPS you want DRS to maintain.
    Example: Target 90 FPS → resolution scales in real time to stay near 90 FPS.


[h2]Graphics Settings Guide[/h2]

The game will need to be restarted for changes to graphics settings to take effect.

[h3]Graphics Presets (NEW)[/h3]
  • Auto: Optimized for your hardware.
  • Low: Best for minimum-spec PCs.
  • Medium: Balanced visuals and performance.
  • High: Improved fidelity for stronger PCs.
  • Ultra: Maximum detail for top-tier hardware.

[h3]Fidelity Settings[/h3]

Setting the standard

The Premier League's best and brightest are in EA SPORTS FC™ 26.
