Low FPS in EA Desktop App

Hi,

when I start the application the framerate of my entire system drops to something that feels like 30fps. This is especially noticeable on my 120hz screen with freesync enabled. When I unfocus the app, my framerate in Windows stabilises to 120 again. When I click on the EA desktop app, it drops again. This is especially noticeable, when moving windows around. My webbrowser feels really smooth, but moving around the EA Desktop window is really stuttery.

My system specs are:

AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

32 GB RAM

GTX 1070 with driver version 461.92

If you need additional info, please let me know.

Thanks in advance

    Add in a couple more Nvidia specific changes to make it much smoother:

    Same steps as original commenter:

    1. Open Nvidia Control Panel
    2. Manage 3D Settings
    3. Program Settings
    4. Add
    5. Find and Select "eadesktop.exe"

    Options to change for EA Desktop specifically:

    1. Monitor Technology
      1. Fixed Refresh
    2. Max Frame Rate
      1. Just below your monitors max (143 for a 144hz monitor)
    3. Preferred Refresh Rate
      1. Application-controlled
    4. Vertical Sync
      1. Off or Fast

    Apply all changes in Nvidia Control Panel and restart the EA Desktop App.

    For me personally: these changes force the EA Desktop App to run at my monitors max refresh rate (1440p 144hz)

    Good lord you people at EA are sorry and lazy as this is STILL an issue nearly a year and half later. And the so called fix suggested by a user here does not work for me as there is still lag and stutter. Fix this garbage.

    I got the Origin will be discontinued message so I went ahead and installed the EA App. Good lord is it messy. The low frames and stuttering on my entire desktop just for having the app open is frustrating.

    Adding the app to the Nvidia Control Panel doesn't make a difference for me, sadly. Whoever made this app should be embarrassed. EA app is THE worst game launcher I have ever seen. Even the name is stupid and just screams "we are creatively bankrupt". Origin wasn't perfect by any means, but killing it for this pile of useless buggy garbage? Pure insanity.

    Like an idiot, I replaced Origin with the EA App a couple of months ago, and I've had lag/stuttering issues in Battlefield 2042 ever since. I have a Ryzen 9 5900x and a Radeon rx 6900 xt, with 32GB of DDR4 RAM, so I'm pretty sure it's not me.

    This is on the older side of time, I'm closing this thread to stop it from being necroed.

    If you have any issues with EA app, please make a new topic about your problems and what kind of steps you have tried to solve them.
