The fix is for CAS issues and eyedropper tool. Nothing to do with the AI.

I’m on ps5 pro and I’m having a major graphics issue.. I’ve got my ps4 enhance tool on, along with my resolution set at 2140.. and my game will get extremely choppy after a travel or about an hour or two into gameplay.. like I’m talking ps1 game graphics… especially on furniture, counters, canvas’s, photos, and any sort of activity like guitars or violins.. they look like they’re colored onto a piece paper and cut into the shape of those items lol.

As usual, EA offers “sales” while the latest “fix” has the game crashing ! I’ll keep my money
