100% CPU usage
Been getting an issue since launch where seemingly out of nowhere while playing Madden on PC, the CPU usage will spike from 30-50% to 100%. This causes the game to freeze and often lose connection to...
In the GPU control panel, check the following two images and choose the max performance option for both:


Also, perform a clean boot before starting the game: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 or http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
Still the same issue after the changes. Any other sugestions would be appreciated.
Still having this issue. To be more specific, when I say I'm losing connection to server, I am assuming that is what is happening. I do not get an error message saying per se I lost connection to server. I get sent out to the main menu after finishing the current solo battle/solo challenge. I can finish the game. I have changed power settings in Windows to prefer performance, I have turned the graphics down in Madden 21 to the rock bottom settings. Nothing has changed this behavior. In Madden 20, I got these freezes and the games continued just fine and I got credit and could continue playing. The same was true in Madden 21 until the servers went down at the start of Most Feared a few Fridays ago. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this issue.
