Asus Maximus VII Gene
First, apologies for the link spam below! Second, thank you all so much for quickly responding with your motherboards.
I see a lot of these motherboards under the list of MSI Motherboards here.
Some of them have Sonic Radar included and even Nahimic audio. I've seen Nahimic actually result in some sound and performance issues lately with our games. I included some various posts below that showcases how fully uninstalling them have fixed this for PC players.
Would any of you be willing to give that a try to see if we can determine if it's audio related? (Some players have mentioned better performance when they made audio changes within game)

- 6 years ago@EA_Blueberry I had Sonic Radar on my machine. Removed it, but unfortunately had no impact. I use a USB Senheisser headset and removed their software too just to give it a shot, but still no change. Audio hiccups, accompanied by FPS drops still seem the same as before.

I don't have any of this on my system and still have major issues.

I didn't have either of these installed. But out of frustration I closed every app/task bar running program I could, disabled AV. That helped some.
Then I set the game to run in windowed mode and I was finally able to play it with no stuttering/lag/audio issues
- 6 years ago@EA_Blueberry Just cancelled my Premiere Access. The lack of progress and communication on this issue is completely unacceptable.

Bought it 2 weeks ago. Still cannot play. Same issues as others. Bad sounds Low Fps.

Windows 10 Home 64 bit - 6 years ago@jfunk825 i'm so close to doing the same, i'm trying to give them a chance but it feels like zero progress has been made since i initially reported this. We just keep getting the same report that they're looking into it over and over...
The real shame is that from what i've been able to play combining multiple work arounds is the fact that the game plays really great this year. It's pretty lame though that a lot of us can't really truly enjoy it...- EA_Barry6 years ago
