I got a real bad problem right now that I'm pulling my hair out trying to fix. After like the first 5 minutes of every match, any time an enemy is on screen, I'm getting lag spikes every 10 seconds or so until the end of the match. It's making it nearly unplayable. Any help would be great. I've tried:turning off origin overlayupdating nvidia driverupdating killer network driverschanging serverschanging channels on my routerclearing the origin cache (per EA support)running it with a clean bootcapping FPS Specs:Windows 10Intel Core i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz16GB RamNvidia GeForce GTX 1070

None of that helped. @EA_Darko Trying to play more of it, it's consistently starting to happen whenever 7-10 squads remain, and gets worse the fewer squads remain.

I do not have an SSD, it's an HDD.

@EA_Darko I thought it was fixed, but then whatever patch happened today has it lagging again in the same way.

Hello please help me im experiencing this issue after the update for skull town map this year.

@ReaverIndustries This is due to code in new patch which causes high CPU usage. Nothing we can do untill devs patch it .

Seems to be happening whether or not enemies are around actually. After 5 or so minutes, the game just starts lagging every 10 seconds. I just tried to do a clean boot running it but it didn't help.

It sounds like you may be having issues with your connection @ReaverIndustries. I would suggest taking a look at our Connection troubleshooting steps which you can find here: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/

It'll take you a couple of minutes to do them all but please do take the time and do them all.

Let me know how you get on.

Do you have the UO Trace that we can take a look @ReaverIndustries?

Do you have a ssd drive? Btw it's not just your hardware.. Servers can be a bit laggy.. If you are lagging in the dropship try a new match this might work a bit

@EA_Darko I've attached 2 UOTraces and my Dxdiag.

I have an SSD, what should i do to prevent op's issues?
500GB Samsung 860 Evo. With OS and game installed on it.
I was caching from it also but thought a second SSD specifically for caching only would help with the massive and constant FPS drops.
So now I run two SSD's, one with OS and game and i blocked caching on C, one with only caching of about 50GB. (This game constantly uses about 13GB of cache at all times)

Still having this issue, though it seems to be happening sporadically. 7/10 times I start to lag when it's 10 squads, and it gets progressively worse the fewer squads remain. 3/10 times the game's fine. @EA_Darko
