Another update another problem for PC

It only occurs when cpu is at pre-snap and when the user is playing defense currently having the issue in franchise and superstar. Could be very well possible in other modes 

Process Lasso is actually great for use here. I haven't used it in a while, but this is better than turning off Hyperthreading for all processes imo. Thanks for the suggestion!

I haven't felt any performance effect or noticed any FPS drop on my performance monitor trying out Madden 26, EAFC 26, NBA 2K 26, or AC Shadows with hyperthreading disabled. I also tried keeping hyperthreading enabled in the BIOS with  just disabling hyperthreading in Process Lasso and that did not fix the stutter in madden. I havent tried efficiency mode in Process Lasso.  

I have a 14600K for what it's worth. I have booted into BIOS multiple times now, disabling and reenabling hyperthreading without any boot or windows problems. I would say try it out, and you will have madden fixed and probably wont see any effect on other games. There are some youtube videos on this showing negligible decreases in FPS on multiple games with hyperthreading disabled.

I wasn't mentioning it as a solution, as simply not having superstars on the fields isn't really an option in any setting aside from training camp, just that it most certainly is related and hopefully the devs see my message and add some datapoints to the investigation

If you don't want to fully disable hyperthreading in your bios, there is a free program called process lasso. Basically an advanced task manager. Allows you to keep hyperthreading enabled in bios and disable it per application in windows. I set madden to efficiency mode always on and hyperthreading always disabled in this program and it fixed the issue for now.

You're not a dummy but smart to ask. It absolutely does impact performance not just on games but the overall speed of your PC. Mine didn't even want to boot normally without it, so I don't think this workaround is worth it if Madden isn't your most played game. Personally, I'd save yourself the hassle it could cause you down the line. It's not going to brick your PC if you do this but consider the fact that you would be intentionally turning off a performance boost feature that is supposed to help your PC handle multiple tasks at a time just to play a poorly optimized game.

Disabling Hyperthreading is safe. It appears to have fixed my issue though I dont consider it a solution, but a workaround. I also only briefly tested. If you play a lot of games on your PC or run intensive programs, you should check to see if performance is degraded significantly as a result. EA still needs to address this.

is it safe to do this? Like it won’t mess my cpu up or something lmao? Thanks for the solution!r6a2g6e​

It could so you may need to do some testing with other games to see what it does.

Guys I’m a PC dummy. Would disabling hyperthreading negatively impact performance on other games?
