Re: Stuttering no matter what i set the graphics to

The problem is not the stuttering. The problem are the freezings.

why freezes the game? And why unfreezes the game when I do the window inactiv with ALT + TAB?

I thought it had something to do with the connection to the server but the game also freezes in offline mode. The only thing I know is that every time the game freezes the CPU usage goes up to 100% and stays there. I have no idea what the game is trying to achieve in this moment. He definitely doesn't load something from the hard disk.

If I do nothing in Ultimate Team, I get a "lost connection" error message and return to the main menu.
If I do nothing in offline franchise or offline exhibition, I can continue playing after 20-40 seconds until the next freeze.

The only thing that works every time to continue the game is to make the window inactive.

Greetings from Germany.

    I think that Denuvo anti-tamper technology that Madden 20 uses can cause the same problems all you guys have. Denuvo is famous for controversies with high CPU usage...

    Maybe Denuvo causes issues, maybe not. Maybe you guys need to downgrade your cutting edge motherboards, processors, graphics cards... The ridiculous thing about this is that multi-billion dollar company won't resolve issues with their best seller. What do you guys think?

    If this is not resolved in the next week and a couple days before my Origin premiere account renews, you can be absolutely certain that my subscription will be cancelled, Origin will be removed from my PC, and I will vow to never give EA another penny of my hard earned money. EVER. And you all should too. This is utter disrespect to an entire community of your supporters. We’ve sat idly by, putting up with your bull crap excuses and questions and for what? So you can ask us if we’ve unplugged other USB sources? REALLY? A company the size of EA should have someone on staff who is at least halfway competent to fix issues like this. This has gone on for a month now with LITERALLY ZERO PROGRESS. It seems as though there’s one of three things going on; you know how to fix the problem and don’t care enough too, you can’t figure out the problem and refuse to put the proper tech support on the case, or, and this is the one I think is going on, you guys don’t care enough to even try and fix it. Absolute joke of a company, joke of a game, and joke of a response. I guess we should’ve known better that to trust a shady micro transaction run company such as Electronic Arts.

    Its really a damn shame that the NFL and EA have this down to a monopoly for anyone that wants to play football games.

    If it's really Denuvo and not anything that EA coded causing the problem, all of Europe goes on vacation in August and nothing gets done, so it might well be another month before the performance gets fixed, IF it gets fixed.

    I heard that a patch is out for PC today.  Anyone checked it out to see if anything changed?

    For me it seems to be marginally better in that the audio is less choppy.  Also, played two games with no freezes, but I do get an occasional momentary pause (<1 sec).  The sense I get is that the main problem still exists and this patch is only a tweak to make it less annoying.  I hope EA continues to work on fixing the main problem.
