Damn...so it looks like Windows 8.1 is not the problem either.
The support on twitter says that this thread has been escelated. So we should get help pretty fast.
*shouts* Hello? Anyone from EA here? *looks arround*
Edit:
Maybe the usage of dwm.exe increases. But in my case there is plenty of unused room on my CPU. And I do have these problems. So that can't be the reason. It could only be the reason if the usage of the CPU gets to much because of the DWM.exe. But thats not the case.
What I noticed that was very strange was even though I was running the x64 version of the game, the process never used more than 3 cores at any time! I have a quad core i7 with hyperthreading (8 virtual cores). Even when I was running in an event with multiple racers and cop cars the maximum load was 43% and only on 3 cores! How can anyone say this game is optimized for a 64 bit OS? Oh, and I also noticed the game never used more that 1.5 Gb of RAM even though I have 8 Gb available.
