@LenaDeSanti you can see a GCer (game changer) has a video of his gameplay doing the serious freeze/lag after build mode. And he has a very high spec computer, and had only basegame installed which playing the new pack (eco living)

@DavidCroft47 Could you try if it gets better when you disconnect from the internet completely ? Not just go offline but disconnect

Hello @crinrict! I have done so but to no avail.  It doesn't seem like being disconnected helps in any way, thank you for your suggestion.

@DavidCroft47 Could you add the following info to your post:

 

- DxDiag
- Config.txt (found in doc)
- Is it happening on specific saves or also new ?
- Do you have lots of files in your tray folder ?

 

There's a similar thread here but not for build mode exiting. Do you not have issues when you travel ?

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Game-falls-to-10-fps-when-playing-longer-sessions/m-p/9191284#...

There's lots of threads on lags, especially in tech, maybe take a peak there if there's more suggestions ?

Good Luck

Done! Added the dxdiag and config files. The issue occurs on new fresh saves as well as old saves. I do have a lot of tray files in my tray folder. The bug report you linked does also happen to me, the issue isn't exactly exclusive to buy/build mode but it's somehow aggravated by it.  I'll be keeping an eye on threads!

@DavidCroft47 Thanks for all the info. Not yet sure if I'll merge.

Could you try what happens if you move tray folder to the desktop for testing purposes ?
