FIFA 18 recently got its first major patch. The update is available on PC and should land on the Xbox One in the following days.
As expected, the patch fixes a series of bugs, ranging from crashes and graphics issues to transfer issues. At the same time, the update also brings issues of its own, as many gamers report.
In this article, we’re going to list the most frequent post-update problems reported by players, as well as their corresponding workarounds, if available.
FIFA 18 update bugs
Game crashes
Although this update is aimed at fixing a series of crashes affecting the game, players who hadn’t experienced any issues of the kind prior to installing the patch, are now complaining that the game has become unplayable. More specifically, the game crashes shortly after they hit the play button.
So I just downloaded the title update and now the game crashes a couple of minutes after I start a match. Anyone else have the same problem? Did 2 games, 1 squad battle and 1 offline seasons match. great update…
To fix this problem, try using the following workaround:
- Right-click on FIFA 18 > select Game priorities> go to Advanced start options> Game language
- Change your game language in the Origins game library to a different language
- Wait for the game to verify your installation and download the new language files
- Switch back to your original language > wait for the game to perform same steps again.
Game lags
Some players report that the game lags quite frequently after installing the latest update. Sometimes, the issue is so severe that the whole game appears to be in slow-motion.
