Fc 25 100%

Hey everyone,

I’ve been facing a frustrating issue while playing FC 25 on my Lenovo L340 Gaming laptop. My CPU usage constantly hits 100%, even though my system should handle the game smoothly.

Here are my specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i5 9th Gen  
- GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1650  
- RAM: 16GB  
- Storage: SSD  
- OS: Windows 11 Pro  
- Connection: VDSL – stable and low ping

I’ve already tried:
- Lowering graphics settings  
- Disabling background services  
- Updating drivers and BIOS  
- Switching between DirectX and Vulkan  
- Monitoring temps and usage with MSI Afterburner and HWInfo  
- Running the game in performance mode and disabling overlays

Still, the CPU maxes out and causes stutters or frame drops. I’m wondering if anyone else with similar specs is facing this? Could it be an optimization issue with FC 25 itself?

Any tips, tweaks, or shared experiences would be really appreciated. Let’s figure this out together!

Thanks in advance!

    Hello,  EA_Darko​ 
    I’ve uploaded my DxDiag report as requested, but I haven’t received any response yet. I’m still experiencing the same issue despite applying all recommended fixes.  
    Could someone please review the report and advise on the next steps?  
     I’d really appreciate your support. 

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for your reply, EA_Darko.

    Yes, I’ve already run the System File Checker (sfc /scannow) and confirmed that there are no corrupted system files. I also tried creating a new Windows admin account and launching the game from there — unfortunately, the issue remains exactly the same.

    My CPU still hits 100% usage while playing FC 25, even though my system exceeds the minimum requirements (i5 9th Gen, GTX 1650, 16GB RAM, SSD). Other demanding games like God of War run perfectly on the same setup.

    This clearly points to an optimization issue within FC 25 itself, possibly related to EA Anti-Cheat or how the game handles CPU resources. I hope this can be escalated to the technical team for proper investigation.

    Thanks again.

    Can't ea just make a simple game without all this complcated steps to make this game work as it should? Not all of us are computer experts..

    Testing here and not seeing any issues running the game on a lower end machine so if it was a game related issue we should be able to recreate the issues.

    Can you grab an updated DxDiag?
