STEAM MADDEN 26 stuttering/hitching/lagging

The game has been unplayable on steam since the update. I have a 4090 GPU and 9800x3d CPU. I have tried everything from turning field visuals off to lowering my resolution and graphics settings (which I have not had issues with before yesterday). Please FIX THIS.

  • It's been 2 days of this patch and people complaining man they sent out a tweet 13 hours ago and still have yet to even fix the solution mind you the game was fine before this recent patch lmfao.

  • THIS!!! I have a very high end computer and since the update frame rates have been jittery, graphics have somehow looked worse on the same settings, and I've had a few very weird bugs like players on the sideline displaying in the middle of the field. So annoyed. The game was totally fine beforehand, and a simple update made absolutely unplayable.

    Same here; I was losing my mind last night! The game was simply unplayable on my gaming desktop. I tried restarting my PC, updating my NVIDIA graphics card, and checking if all drivers were updated. I even tried patching my Madden 26 game file in EA app. 

    Until the game gets patched by the MADDEN Team, I refuse to play.

    Bro, I paid money for my game, my mother didn't mine for me like yours did. They knew the game was broken when they pushed the update and if you want to sit there and act like they didn't then your just a **bleep**.

  • stuttering and laggin come on ea can we get this fixed...we pay a decent amount of money for a game and then for the game to not work regardless of whether playing online or just head local there is a consistent glitch in the game. Ive tried setting the orientation to windowless border all settings to low amnd nothing works.

    So I've notice a few things since the last update.

    1. It pushes my video card a lot harder than before the update,
    2. I've noticed that the players with stars or xfactors on them seem to have the symbols flash as the plays start and as the during the plays whenever they do a move (hit stick, pursuit, etc) and the stuttering and jittering kicks in at that point. 
    3. There are now graphics artifacts that appear that didn't before, pushing my video card hard.
    4. Running my AMD tracking in the background shows microstuttering hitting up to 70% at times.

    I can't say for certain, but it seems like the PC update seems to have locked in certain graphics settings in the background that changes when we move from menu and video play to gameplay. Because my video card fans don't kick in until the gameplay starts, but they never used to kick in at all when I was playing before this update.
