    Fix for stuttering on desktop/laptop after 24/07/2025 update

    If you laptop or desktop use realtek lan drivers from manufacturer or you have newer one you will get micro stutter after 3-4 minutes in game. This is caused by EAC scanning realtek lan driver and causing high cpu usage. Everytime you get a stutter you can observe event viewer spammed with errors: event id 2 (rt26cx21 cannot be found). Reinstalling driver doesnt not help. Only solution is to remove realtek lan drivers and let windows install generic ones and your stutter will be gone.
