Have you updated your CAT Cable lately to ensure you are getting top speed from your provider?
Update Your Graphics Driver: An outdated or faulty graphics driver are common causes. Try updating your graphics driver by going to Device Manager>Display adapters, right clicking your adapter and select "Update Driver"
Check your Display Settings: Setting>System>Display to ensure your resolution and display settings are correct.
Updates: Ensure you have the latest update and patches for your system. Our computers have several programs running all at once, on occasion if one is trying to update behind the scenes this could cause a lag in memory, affecting the overall performance.
RAM: How much ram do you have? Ram is crucial for gaming, the suggested minimum for Pogo is 8GB, however I personally suggest 16GB or more.
Hopefully checking into some of these areas will help resolve your issue. If you are still experiencing a problem after updating and checking everything you may want to contact EA directly for further help by clicking here.
