Lower FPS since patch 1.16

@NicoF133Same here. My game was broken with crashing/freezing/stuttering but it’s even worse after 1.16. Not sure it it still crashes as it’s not worth trying to drive more than a few seconds. Even the menus freeze and stutter Game is 100% unusable for me. And it says 1.16 is final patch of the year but hopefully there will be a hotfix 

Before the patch 1.16 i had a framerate of 63 fps at 3840x2160 on a RTX 2060 and now i jus have 24 Fps without changing any setting and with gpu drivers up to date. It's unsupportable...It's a shame that EA give us a patch supposed to increase graphical quality and in fact it's messed up completly the frame rate....

Do you have a link by chance ? 

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. 

If you're experiencing lower FPS since the last patch, can you please try deleting your hardware settings file as explained in this post: Unexpected Graphical Issues 🛠️ Troubleshooting Steps

If the problem persists, please share with us the following information so I can pass it on to the team for investigation:

We´ve managed to fix it while your developers are on vacation for last 8 months. Issue can be solved by adding excusion to your antivirus for F1 24 game + EA Anticheat folder. Why? We dont know but you guys messed up something my guess would be with anticheat software.

I tried that yesterday and unfortunately still had the same issues. Prior to the update I was consistently running 60-100 FPS with the GPU running about 80% and all graphic settings stayed the same pre and post update
