Interesting fact, if you use the crack patch, you can run the game faster and easier.

No, I'm not promoting piracy, nor will I provide any links. I purchased the game.
I just can't understand why EA refuses to provide any updates to the game to fix the problem of the game not connecting when the servers are down.
You had to turn on offline mode in the EA APP to skip the DRM. this also resulted in me not being able to use cloud sync.
But if I use the crack patch, the game can be up and running in 3 seconds and ultimately the pirated experience is 10x better than the original.
This is so stupid.

Must be a shocker to learn that EA is a terrible company

Did the patch fix the acheivements?

It looks like this is going to be the second time in my life I have to use the crack to run the game I own...

That's almost always the case in pretty much every game ever. Unless the crack includes some kind of virus, in which case, no. But crack will remove DRM, and DRM requires extra processing power, so it's logical. Denuvo is the biggest performance leech, which is why many times after companies remove it from their game (which they usually do in a year or two, since they have to pay a fee to the Denuvo creators post-release), it bumps up performance quite a bit.
It can also be related to disabling online features, which means the game no longer has to connect anywhere to the internet, and that will also improve performance.
