Re: frame drops + input lag

Hi @zbran1, if you turn on XMP now, does the same frame rete issue happen?

Hey, my frame rate drops issues were not caused by turning XMP on or off. With XMP enabled I would get the Direct error crash message that has it's own thread going here.

So I had no FPS issues up to the Season content being launched.  When the previous patch to Season one was released I tried turning XMP on again and after one or 2 games it crashed. I turned XMP off again  and I've not had the Direct X crash since.

i didn't even try XMP after Season 1 launched as the game is running so poorly for me and I was trying not to adjust too many things at the one time so as not to confuse the issue with something else.

My maun issues are. Low FPS, lag/stuttering and hit registration.

    @zbran1 From what I've seen, you don't have to turn XMP off. You just need to make sure the settings don't exceed what your memory/CPU/motherboard combo support. In my case, my memory speed exceeds what my CPU can handle, so I had to configure XMP accordingly.

    Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm running an i9 10850K,  an ASUS ROG Z490-I and 32gb@3600Mhz of TeamGroup RAM that's on the compatibility list for the motherboard. I have zero problems running any other game with XMP enabled. It's only 2042 ☹️.

    It never bothered me that XMP was off. Once I got past the Direct X issue(disabling XMP), performance was excellent for me. Really smooth gameplay, 150+ fps and enjoyable bar the know bugs that I'm not going to drone on about...

  • @zbran1 it seems BF2042 is poorly coded for crossplay, fact that theres no server browser and player pings are hidden would suggest theres an underlying problem with this game.
    with the hardware were running these days compared to consoles there should be no amount of tinkering with settings to get the game running smooth.

    Sorry, I respectfully disagree.

    Issues with crossplay (or no server browser or player ping) does not equate to poor code. If there are an usually high amount of issues reported with memory (or CPU/GPU), then some people could possibly get behind that.

    Also, most people who have been playing PC games for a while have had to do tinkering of settings in-game and on their PC (i.e. BIOS). Many of us have also had to modify hardware to get certain games working. This is one of the downsides of playing on PC (versus console).
