Re: [PC] Stuttering from the second half

I am experiencing a very specific issue in EA FC 26 on PC. 
The game runs perfectly during the first half of a match, with smooth gameplay and no FPS drops. 
However, immediately at the end of the first half, when the second half starts, the game begins to stutter/jump/lag heavily, even though FPS remains normal. 
This also happens in the menu after exiting the match. 

I have tried: 
- updating GPU drivers (NVIDIA/AMD), 
- clearing shader cache, 
- running in Fullscreen mode, 
- disabling overlays (Steam, Discord, NVIDIA/AMD), 
- verifying game files. 

Nothing fixes the issue. It happens **every match** at the exact moment the second half starts. 

This does not happen in any previous FIFA or EA FC games I have played. It seems like a bug triggered when the game loads the second half assets or switches scenes.

    I did the following for me...

    Process Lasso, launch game;
    minimize and go to Lasso, set EAFC to never user Hyperthreading and then force it to use only 4cores (if you have more);
    leave it the rest as default... I noticed here and there (on menus) a little stuttering but the gameplay seems better, even on ULTRA.
