STUTTERING in Battlefield 5

Dear All,

First, after no problems for 100+ hours of play, this started this early morning, out of the blue.

The game loads awfully late: main menu and server selection, and joining works fine.

BUT when the deploy menu comes up, the game STUTTERS: 3 seconds work, 3 seconds stop, 3 seconds work again. Even nearly impossible to move the cursor. If i manage to deploy, same during the game. It is unplayable.

Let me remind you it was not like that yesterday. (or for months). No hardware change, no new updates. I played last night and woke up to this :)

• Repaired the game;  Uninstalled and installed again.
• Reinstalled EA app.
• Reinstalled and repaired the Cheat add-on.
• Rolled back Nvidia driver, then updated to the latest one.
• DX 12 was already closed; checked.
• Already running as "administrator," checked.
• Vsync on/off tried.
• Checked "best performance" options in Windows and Nvidia Center.
• Game Overlay was already closed, checked.

I don't know what to do more. I like the game and was already playing. :(

Your help is appreciated.

Cheers.
