EA anticheat causing ntoskrnl.exe taking a lot of CPU usage on PC
The game became laggy and stutering for me after the last patch. So i decided to make a little investigation after realising that so many people had this problem. It appears that after i start the game and the anticheat starts (before i even get in a match either online or offline) the "ntoskrnl.exe" which is a core program for your processor and CANNOT be turned off starts spiking and taking a lot of the CPU around 80-90 percent which makes the game stuter and lag. Is there a way that we can fix this problem SINCE WE KNOW WHAT IS CAOUSING IT?
In the picture all other processes take around 0.2-1 percent each but the ntoskrnl.exe takes 25 each.
