PC Stuttering EAFC 24
G'day all! I'm currently having weird stuttering issues in the game. I've tried multiple combinations of graphics and video settings (via the in game menu settings) and I can't erase the issue. It ha...

Same issue here too.
PC: i5-13600KF, 32 GB DDR4 3600, RTX 4080 Founders Edition, Windows 11 Pro 22H2.
Using the latest 537.42 graphics driver on a 165 Hz G-SYNC display at 1440p maxed out settings, 144 Hz refresh, 120 fps framerate, DRS off, full framerate replays etc.
The gameplay is fine but as soon as the game transitions from gameplay to cutscene/replay or I go to the menu and back to the game, there is a HUGE stutter that is just ruins the whole presentation. Sure, it doesn't render the game unplayable but it is an eyesore. I even tried half-refresh replays and capping the game at 60 fps at 60 Hz but the stutters are still there. Switching to Windowed Fullscreen from Fullscreen makes no difference either.
My PC should be able to handle this game with ease. The graphics are not exactly cutting edge, they have hardly changed in the last 3 years yet I can play Cyberpunk 2077 version 2.0 maxed out at 1440p with RT path-tracing and the new DLSS3 ray-reconstruction at 100+ fps (using DLSS3 frame generation) and there isn't a single stutter, not one. Yet a simple sports game stutters with every transition.
Not only that but the menus are oddly laggy and there is a bug, which seems to be caused by the mouse pointer, which causes the controller to get 'stuck' in the menus until I move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen and then I can navigate the menus properly again.
Did EA bother to test this game on PC at all?
Yes this is my exact same case I thought my pc was the problem i even bought a new controller cause of the bugged menu
Found something, doesn't fully solve the problem but made the game miles better. This is for Nvidia.
I am running the game through Steam. You might be running the game through EA. That is not a problem I assume!
I came across this thread on the forums here. Essentially. The EADesktop.exe app does slow down the computer affecting the game. I was never able to get over 120 frames before. Even as I set all the settings, it still felt like it was capped to 60 FPS.
All typical settings with Vsync off. HOWEVER. add EADesktop.exe from the Nvidia control panel and set the max frame rate to whatever you'd like.
GDI >> Prefer Performance
Power Management Mode >> Prefer Max Performance
Preferred Refresh rate >> Highest Available.
Tripple Buffering >> off
Playing with low settings as of now. Will test high frame settings and check.
Make sure Vsync off. This goes to the game as well.
THIS DOES NOT FIX THE LAG WITH CORNERS AND CELEBRATIONS. But the game seems to catch up after pausing or freekicks, or another corner. It looks like they are still triggering the same things.
Devs. If you are reading this, I am pinning down that when you turn off the Overlays, they hide them, but they still process in the background causing these delays. Looks like the killswitch is just visual .. Visibility:hidden; but not truly gone.
TLDR; EADesktop.exe is slowing down the game.
Good luck everyone!
- @FlashbakTOTY works very well for me, thank you
I'm on laptop and on control panel I don't have the option to set refresh rate. Any advice?
- @Jammy_Wedge use nvidia profile inspector
