    Can you try the following workarounds please?
     
    [PC] - Freezing Crashing or Slow Motion
    If you’ve noticed the performance of your game slowing down, try temporarily disabling Origin In Game in your Origin Application Settings. This should resolve the issue:
     
    To do this,

    1. Launch the Origin client.
    2. Go to the Origin menu, Application Settings, select Origin In Game,
    3. Uncheck "Enable Origin In Game"

    If the issue persists try these troubleshooting steps:

    • Update your drivers
      Check for driver updates especially for your video/graphic card

    • Anti-virus programs / Download Management Applications
      Please make sure they are not running and scanning while you are playing

    • Background programs
      Just perform a Clean Boot and test the game performances.

      The Clean Boot process disables many background tasks that may be causing interference.

      Launch the game only just after the clean boot (nothing else.)

    • Try the windowed mode
      If you can play normally in windowed mode, then this issue is likely due to the screen resolution, you'll just need to adjust this setting. Launch the game and press Alt + enter simultaneously in order to trigger the windowed mode.
