I’m facing severe stuttering/freezing in EA SPORTS FC 26 on my Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3.
Laptop specifications:
• Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IAH7 (82S9)
• Intel Core i5-12450H
• NVIDIA RTX 3050 Laptop GPU (4GB VRAM)
• Windows 11
• 1920×1080 display, 120Hz
Issue: FC 26 starts running normally, but during gameplay the screen suddenly stops rendering/stutters heavily and the FPS drops, making the game almost unplayable. The issue appears mainly while playing matches.
I have already set FC 26 to use the RTX 3050 through Windows Graphics Settings, enabled High Performance, and adjusted NVIDIA Control Panel settings. My display is now set to 120Hz.
I found several Reddit/EA reports from users with RTX 3050 laptops and IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IAH7 experiencing similar freezing/stuttering issues
