Two quick updates have arrived for EA SPORTS FC 26 within just a few hours of each other, as EA released versions 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 to tackle major stability and connection issues affecting Football Ultimate Team and PC players. Both patches were announced through EA SPORTS FC Direct Communication on X (formerly Twitter).
Version 1.1.1 fixes FUT stability problems
The first patch, version 1.1.1, has been rolled out for PS5, PS4, PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. EA confirmed that this update addresses a stability issue that had appeared across Football Ultimate Team following the previous version 1.1.0 update.
The issue caused some players to experience unexpected crashes and disconnects during FUT menus and matches. EA stated that this was an unintended side effect from the earlier patch, and version 1.1.1 should now fix those problems. The update will continue to reach all platforms over the coming days as distribution completes.
EA also thanked players for their patience and continued feedback, reminding the community that more updates will follow throughout the FC 26 season as new issues are identified.
Version 1.1.2 addresses PC-specific online disconnects
Shortly after version 1.1.1 went live, EA announced version 1.1.2, a hotfix specifically aimed at PC users. This smaller update resolves a PC-only issue that was causing disconnects during online matches.
Before this patch, EA recommended that affected players temporarily set their Crowd Quality to “medium” in the graphics menu to avoid the problem. That workaround is no longer needed, as version 1.1.2 has officially fixed the root cause of the disconnects.
According to EA’s FC Tracker, the patch is now fully available on PC and should improve match stability for online players.
