I have the same issue 7900xt with i5 13600K.
Adding my data to this. I’ve had a consistent 120 FPS for weeks, and as of this recent update, the game has become unplayable. Through 3rd party monitoring I see Animation Error spikes exceeding 751ms specifically during pre-snap and defensive sequences.
I have already exhausted the following "fixes" with zero improvement:
Software: Process Lasso (Affinity/Priority), ParkControl (Unparked cores), and clearing Shader Cache.
System/Security: Disabled Control Flow Guard (CFG) in Windows Exploit Protection for Madden26.exe and repaired EA Anti-Cheat.
Settings: Borderless Windowed, capped 120/60 FPS, Ambient Occlusion OFF, and Visual Feedback OFF.
In groups that I am in who are having the same issues, they say disabling Hyper-Threading (HT) in the BIOS as a workaround. While this may work for some, it is unacceptable to require users to hobble their hardware and sacrifice system-wide performance for a single poorly optimized title. This is clearly a thread-scheduling regression within the Frostbite engine's interaction with Intel 13th Gen architecture. We need an actual stability patch, not mangling our BIOS settings. If you need any more data to try and fix I can supply whatever I have! Until then the game is basically unplayable.
