3 files failed to validate" and Game Performance - EA SPORT FC 25

I am experiencing a persistent issue with EA SPORT FC 25, purchased through Steam. Every time I verify the game files after exiting, it reports "3 files failed to validate and will be reacquired." This issue occurs consistently, even after I have attempted various troubleshooting steps. Additionally, the game lags significantly, especially during, making it difficult to enjoy the game.

Here are my system specifications:
- OS: Windows 11 latest version
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 (notebook, driver version 566.36
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7
- RAM: 32GB
- Storage: SSD 439 GB free

Steps I have taken to resolve the issue:
1. Verified game file integrity multiple times (problem persists after validation).
2. Reinstalled both the game and Steam.
3. Moved the game installation to a different SSD drive.
4. Disabled all overlays (Steam Overlay, GeForce Experience) and closed background programs.
5. Tested the game without mods or online play.

The problem occurs every time I exit the game and verify the files. I suspect this issue may be related to temporary files, the Steam validation process, or specific game configurations that are not being stored properly.

Thank you for your assistance
