Severe FPS Drops, Freezing, and Controller issues on PC After Patch 1.5.3

Platform : PC Windows 11
Issues : After The Lastest Update (1.5.3) I am experiecing major preformance and input issues that have made the game unplayable. The problem occur consistently in every match.
Main Problems:
1) Extreme FPS DROPS:
The game runs fine during the first half (stable 60+ FPS), However, at the start of the second half, my frame rate drops drastically from 5 to 10 FPS, making the game a complete slideshow.

2) Game & System Freezes: 
During matches, the game frequently freezes for several seconds. In some cases, the freeze is so severe that it forces my entire laptop to become unresponsive, requiring a hard reboot.

3) Controller Issues:
Even though my controller is connected via USB cable, the game suffers from constant input lag and delayed responses. Sometimes, the controller stops responding entirely in the middle of a match, or buttons get "stuck" (e.g., the player keeps running even after releasing R2).

My System & Troubleshooting Done:

1) Clean Driver Update: I did a clean installation of the latest NIVIDIA graphics drivers.
2) OS Updated: My Windows 11 is fully updated.
3) In-Game Settings : Tried capping FPS to 60, toggling V-Sync On/Off, and running in Fullscreen mode.
4) Background Apps : Disabled all overlays (EA App, Discord, NIVIDIA Geforce Experience) and closed all background programs.
5) Controller Tested : The controller works perfectly in all others games and in the Windows USB game controller tester.


This is clearly an issue with the game itself, likely related to the anti-cheat or how the game manages memory and CPU threads after the latest patches.

Please investigate this urgently, as many other PC players on this forum are reporting similar freezing and FPS drops issues.

Thank you.
