I am also having the same issues. Before this recent update I was able to play at these exact settings without issue and it looked great and ran very smoothly: 1080p X 1920p resoltuion, borderless windowed, Ultra Raytracing settings, V-Sync off, G-Sync off, HDR off. When I first got the game on release day, I spent around an hour trying to find settings because the game would be perfectly smooth and working fine and then in the middle of the game it would just crash without any apparent reason, my solution to that was to turn off fullscreen, HDR, v-sync, and g-sync and it the game played great and the crashing stopped. Now, following this new update, the game is freezing and stuttering like crazy to the point where the game is not even playable at the moment. I updated my Windows version, made sure to use the latest graphics drivers, everything you would normally due when you encounter stuttering in a game after previously having no issues, but nothing worked. Game remains unplayable until EA finally decides to fix the mess that they created with this new update. I am very dissapointed that I will not be able to play my Giants rebuild franchise and stay up way too late playing the game. EA needs to pay attention to their PC gamers, as they really only focus on console and they do not care if there game works properly on PC or not.
My PC specs just FYI because they are plenty good enough to run the game without issue:
RTX 5060
I5 14400F
32 GB RAM
Gen 4 NVME SSD
