Electronic Arts has announced that EA Sports FC 26 Update 1.1.2 will be released soon, specifically addressing a PC-exclusive disconnect issue that has been occurring during online matches. While players wait for the update to roll out, EA has provided a temporary workaround: lowering the Crowd Quality setting under the Graphics menu to “Medium.” Players are advised to restart the game after making this adjustment to ensure the changes take effect.
This forthcoming patch follows shortly after Update 1.1.1, which focused on improving stability and performance across platforms by resolving issues that emerged with version 1.1.0, particularly in Football Ultimate Team (FUT). The new patch continues EA’s commitment to maintaining consistent online functionality and addressing community-reported technical problems as quickly as possible.
