FC 26 Overloading CPU Even in Menus — Serious Optimization Needed"

I’m experiencing severe performance issues with FC 26, even though my laptop meets and exceeds the recommended system requirements. My specs are:

- Intel Core i5-9300H  
- NVIDIA GTX 1650 (4GB VRAM)  
- 16GB RAM  
- Samsung 1TB SSD  
- Windows 11

Despite this, the game stutters heavily—even in menus and Squad Battles. CPU usage constantly hits 100%, while GPU usage remains high and stable. I’ve limited the framerate to 30 FPS, switched to DirectX 11, disabled background services, and lowered all in-game graphics settings to the minimum. Yet the lag persists.

This issue seems widespread among users with similar specs. It appears the game’s engine or the new EA AntiCheat system is placing excessive load on the CPU, making the experience unplayable even outside matches.

Please investigate this problem seriously. The game should not perform this poorly on hardware that clearly meets the requirements.
