For 5 days I couldn't play the game because it would freeze at the loading screen. I googled and found a thread on EA's site with people having the same issues. What finally got it to work for me was changing from DX11 to 12, changing my resolution from 2160 to 720 and locking FPS in at 30. My hope was that the patch would help with optimization. But, maybe that's coming down the road.
