When starting the game, starts at the lobby,  the game use high disk usage 70MB/s for constant time (It nevers stops even in a match). It makes my game stutters a lot. I have 16GB of RAM so it must not be the vram problem. This only happens after I change to new gpu from 1660 super to 3060 ti. Do this happens because the anti cheat thinking im spoofing my hardware so theyre scanning my game files ? I cant play the game because mine is installed in hdd and high read rate at long time will increase the temp and reduce the longetivity of the drive.

    You could try a repair of the game and of EAC. You can repair the game via the library (or if you're on Steam you can verify)


    You may also want to try a repair of EAC. To do so, go to the game install folder, then check the EasyAntiCheat folder and then launch EasyAntiCheat.exe, and you'll find the repair option. 

    Performing a Clean Boot before playing can also help if there's some potential 3rd party issue. 

  • I can tell you what worked for me, what i did was this cleared the steam download cache.
