The EA FC 24 release date has arrived and some Xbox, PlayStation, Windows, and Nintendo Switch players have run into problems with EA’s latest soccer simulation.

As we push away from the game’s release we’re getting feedback from those who have picked up a copy of EA FC 24. And that means we’ve heard about the early issues plaguing the game in the early going.

Many of the issues are minor bugs, but we’ve also heard about performance problems which can take away from the experience. This is common for a game that’s just been released and EA will work to patch many of these issues up in the weeks ahead.

That being said, EA FC 24 patches won’t be released every day which means you may need to fix whatever is plaguing your experience on your own.

How to Fix EA FC 24 Download Problems

Like many games, EA FC 24 requires a fairly big download, around 45GB. If you have a fast Wi-Fi connection, the download shouldn’t take too long to complete. That said, if you have a slower connection, you might have to wait for an hour or more.

If you think your EA FC 24 download is moving too slowly, try plugging an ethernet cable directly into your console or PC. This could dramatically speed up the download. This is especially true if your system situated far away from your router.

If the game’s download speed doesn’t improve, try restarting your router. Unplug the power cord from your router, wait a minute or two, plug it back in, and try to download it again.

If the download gets stuck before it reaches 100%, try pausing the download, waiting a few seconds, and trying again. This can sometimes speed up the download as well.

If that doesn’t work, try canceling the download and starting it again.

If nothing here works, and you need more advice, head over to Microsoft’s site if you own an Xbox, Sony’s site if you own a PlayStation, or Nintendo’s site if you own a Switch.
