Another year and we have another Pro Evolution Soccer game at our hands. Although the game is doing fine on consoles, PC users sadly haven’t received the same game as on consoles. Some might argue that it’s a crappy port while for others, it might just be fine and they will enjoy it anyway as FIFA could be too rigid for them to enjoy.
In any case, if you are a PC user, there might be some issues that might hinder your full experience. In that case, I have shortlisted some common problems users have been facing and there possible fixes. Konami intends to keep the latest iteration up to date and we are hoping that the PC version will receive the same updates as consoles.
