[PC] Bad stuttering when progressing objective after purchasing Ultimate Upgrade

I recently bought the ultimate upgrade, which got me all the past DLC.

Only issue is when completing challenges, activities, ending police chases etc. anything that includes a UI popup causes the game to lag/badly stutter.

The game was completely fine before this purchase with no FPS drops noticed.

I've already tried: 1) reinstalling the game 2) reinstalling it without DLC (doesn't seem to work), 3) reinstalling my GPU driver 4) making the game run with max performance under driver power settings 5) running the game on lowest settings 6) turning off DLSS & VSync, and more. Nothing worked.

Nvidia RTX 3070ti; Intel 12700k; 64GB RAM

Example of the stuttering I have encountered I uploaded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtRQI4TJ4F8

  • I have performed the same actions and the stuttering is present in single player too. After some more testing it appears to be related to when the game tries syncing with EA servers, because when I accessed single player offline - not connected to the internet at all - the stuttering is gone.

    Hello PeterCapObvious​,

    You are correct, the issue is related to the syncing. Unfortunately, there is no reliable fix for this issue. You could try checking your internet connection, but that is it.
