Post 1/30 Patch Keyboard/Mouse/Performance Hitching
Hello, Since the January 30th patch, I have been getting a consistent issue where my mouse/keyboard movement is "hitching" while controller movement is smooth. I've seen various threads about this, but what I have not seen mentioned is that the problem gets worse each time I alt-tab whether in fullscreen, borderless, or windowed. In addition, the game executable responsiveness worsens each time, with the game taking longer and longer to become the primary window again. The "lag" will go back to normal after a game reboot, but any alt tabbing will cause it to happen again. The mouse/keyboard hitching is present as soon as the game boots and I enter the range. No matter how intense the mouse and keyboard hitching becomes, picking up and using my controller immediately removes all hitching. This issue was not present prior to the 01/30/26 update, and neither update since then has made improvements. Things I have tried: -Lowering all graphics setting to lowest possible, plus playing in the very small default window size -Swapping between every variation of vertical sync, g-sync, and adaptive sync, DLSS, etc. between the game, Nvidia Control Panel and my monitor's software -The "press no keys on launch" workaround that is discussed in some of the threads around this topic -The "the first 4-8 keys you press will be excluded from the bug" workaround that is discussed in some of the threads around this topic -The "hold alt" workaround that is discussed in some of the threads around this topic -Swapping mice and keyboard -Swapping USB ports -Removing unnecessary USB devices -Disabling all overlays (Discord, Steam, NVIDIA) -Restarting computer -Verifying Battlefield 6 file integrity through Steam -Verifying EAAntiCheat file integrity through the installer application -Force updating EAAntiCheat through the installer application -Updating video card drivers -Performing a full reinstall of Battlefield 6 and EAAntiCheat -Enabling/Disabling XMP None of these attempts have made any difference. I have also monitored all logic cores on my CPU through task manager, and do notice the EAAntiCheat.exe process spiking CPU usage during mouse movement. My system configuration is: Mobo: MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk Max Wifi (with updated bios firmware for the Intel 13th-14th gen issue) CPU: Intel i7 14700k RAM: 2x G.Skill DDR5 32GB sticks Video Card: MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 w/ 16gb vram Mouse: Logitech G600 Keyboard: Corsair K70 Controller: Xbox One wired USB I've attached three videos of the issue. The first (bad mouse movement to controller smooth) is 10 seconds of mouse movement on a fresh boot of the game, followed by controller movement. The second (bad mouse movement after smooth controller) is immediately after with one alt-tab instance going back to mouse/keyboard. The third (multiple alt tab mkb to controller back to mkb) is after multiple alt-tab instances first with mouse, then switching to controller at the 7 second mark showcasing smooth movement, then switching to keyboard to show the "lag" and stickiness on input registration by alternating strafe keys (A/D), then more mouse movement. Once again, this issue was not present at all before the 01/30/26 patch. Thank you, and please let me know if you have any questions.

There’s a serious bug with the in-game chat in Battlefield 2042. Sometimes it just stops working and I can’t type anything at all. This really hurts the gameplay experience, especially when trying to coordinate with teammates.Many players have encountered the same bug as me, and verifying game integrity on Steam doesn’t fix it. EA, please fix this issue as soon as possible. Communication is a core part of the game, and right now it’s broken.Eous_the_Bangboo1 day agoSeasoned Novice229Views2likes11CommentsNot registering hits and gun not firing!
Firstly, I've been running the network graph to see why my hits arn't registering and it seems to be the server that is the issue. On really good servers where I'm near top of kills and score with flags captured, it's registering for example client hits 4 server hits 4. However where I'm struggling to register hits, the client registers 4 hits, and sometimes at worst only 1 is registered on the server. Doesn't seem to be a client issue :( On the other issue I've come across, there has been times even with a full clip my gun just wont fire in the heat of action. Usually after I've done a previous action such as throwing C4, a grenade or climbing over an object. Anyone else? Thanks :)N31L792 days agoRising Traveler7Views0likes0CommentsGame freezes after 1-2 minutes (also in menu)
After the latest update (installed it today) Secure Boot needs to be enabled. Now i'm having the issue that after a minute or 2, the game just completely freezes. This also happens on the BF6 open beta (in menu since it's not playable yet). For BF2042 it also happens in the menu, of ingame if I join Quick Match and loading times are fast. I've disabled Secure Boot, resetted it, removed keys and make sure its enabled. Update Nvidia drivers, did a rollback but nothing is working. Something is causing this crash without giving an error message.

Conclusion of the update: One step forward, two steps back. Problems remaining: Bullet registration is really bad again. So the history path according to the fixes is: bad, better, bad. Instant kills. The moment I see the enemy, the same moment I die. No chance even to click the left button on the mouse. I shot the enemy in the face twice with a shotgun, 1 meter distance. No damage, obviously I died and I didn't even saw the mark of my hit. Vehicles do not have the same engagement/impact in the game as in previous versions. Many vehicles, many mines that can't kill a tank. I see in city maps the roads full of dots of mines like PacMan. The most impressive thing is when the aircraft or damaged tanks land next to the soldier, but after a while you feel like this is staged and the vehicle doesn't seem to be part of the action. In every game and every map, a tank dies only with rockets. Mines and C4 are no longer useful. Other vehicle equipment that is not used and does not offer any exciting experience. Only guys who camp near the base and wait the whole game just to manage to kill a tank once or twice. I guess they do this just to unlock something. Helicopters seem to be the most inconsequential object in the game. And while helicopters don't tie into the overall gameplay, you get a direct hit from a helicopter hovering (camping) so high in the sky, completely unrelated to the action. In BF3 and BF4 I had so many equipment choices to use, to adapt to the game and influence its outcome. Now the most of the gadget choices are not useful and do not affect the game. I told you before. This game has so many problems that you can't fix them. If you have the courage you can try to fix it. If I was in your position I wouldn't.68Views0likes0CommentsImage error

I was playing Battlefield (BF2042) 2042 just fine the other night when I got this error. Security Breach (Upper left corner of pop up window). The body read: The latest version of EA anticheat is required to play. Please see: https://help.ea.com/help/pc/ea-anticheat/ on how to update to latest version. (136) I tried the above link and that did not work in any way shape or form. I did this several times without luck. I did the whole empty cache and app recovery. No luck. I uninstalled the EA app and battlefield 2042. One would think a fresh installation would install the required updated version of EA's anticheat. That was a HARD NO. Windows updates: everything is and was up to date and drivers are up to date. I can play any other game from any other platform with no issues whatsoever. Question: Why the hell am I the one having to manually do an update for ES's anticheat software? This seems to be something that is your job. I paid for a service and have to manually fix your garbage. Nah, makes absolutely zero cents. I know I'm coming across as abrasive but this isn't just about not being able to play a game. Just like EA, it's about money. The most important thing on this planet. This is a waste of money.shistdafoe117 days agoSeasoned Newcomer66KViews19likes11CommentsThis software cannot be used at the same time as the game: Interception
