PC Unplayable: Constant Freezes, Lags & GPU Optimization Issues

Dear EA Team,

Since the beginning of December, I and many other PC players (Steam/EA App) have been experiencing severe technical issues that make the game unplayable.

The problems are consistent:

Constant Disconnects: Connection drops in almost every match.

Input Delay, Lag and Freezes: Massive delay making competitive play impossible.

GPU Optimization: 100% GPU usage even while idling in menus.

It is definitely not a local issue:

  1. High-End Hardware: My system specs are well above the recommended requirements. Other demanding titles run flawlessly at 240+ FPS.
  2. Stable Connection: I am playing with Ethernet. My internet is stable, yet the game continues to disconnect.

We have paid for this game and expect it to work. There has been no official communication regarding these issues for weeks. We need a fix now.

    The thing I did right now is reset my whole PC, debloat Windows, and update everything — GPU drivers, CPU chipset drivers, Ethernet, audio, and even my BIOS. My gameplay feels smooth so far (I’ve only tested one game), but the GPU usage is still at 100% while idling in the game menu.

  • Hey guys , any fix on this online lag ? My connection is really great , ping is low ( 20-60 ms ) , yet everything goes in slow motion , extremely unplayable. I used to play Fc 25 and never had this issue . I tried de bugging , v sync on / off , graphic setting to low . I just bought the game and this is what I get , it’s ruining my holidays . Pls someone help if there’s a fix
