(dd.mm.yy hh:mm) All daysSummarize your bug as I play with 120-130 fps, suddenly the frames drop to 20-30. This is a constant fps drop ... How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When direct11 was addedWhat happens when the bug occurs? dropping framesWhat should be happening instead? Add DirectX 11 Please!Hello, everyone! Please add DirectX11 so that each player can choose between the two options. I know the game is very poorly optimized, but I'm sure that adding Directx11 will help a lot of people with dropping frames. This problem was in Battlefield 1 and 5.Greetings!

Yeah, it also supports that fat dx12 error.

@Arrakis681This was a caching issue in BFV, DX12 stuttered each time it compiled shaders for new objects (first time use). After having played all the maps once this problem would go away (all objects were cached on disk) and then it was rock solid and performed better than dx11.And your FPS drops are not DX12, it is the game in general running 'badly', this happens on even the fastest PCs. People with RTX3090s complain about FPS drops.

Dice did fix DX12 in BFV and for me it actually ran a lot better than DX11 (on both an NVidia 1080 and 2080TI). It wasn't like BF1, where DX12 was never really fixed.There is no reason why Dice should put DX11 in the game. If they have removed it from the engine it would mean a lot of work which would be taken from elsewhere.And why? A good optimized DX12 game is at least as fast as DX11 and DX12 has potential for being faster than DX11.

@Man_iLoveFishing I had 3-4 and I know that I get them when I change some graphics setting without restarting the gameI have read that manly Radeon user are unlucky with the problemyeah the bug is anyoing when you get it all the time

This is a feature I liked about previous Battlefield titles. At least we had the option to choose between the two APIs and used which ever performed better. Shame it was removed in 2042, DX11 would've helped lower to mid range systems big time.

Battlefield 2042-ADD DirectX 11 please

@Arrakis681 it's there you gotta go to profile settings. Open with notepad and edit.

@Arrakis681 moved your post out, as its not a bug.

The profile settings to dx11 does not change anything as its legacy function.

@Arrakis681 He did move it to the right place.

I do agree it would be nice to have that option for people to see which api is going to give better performance on their machine.

However, I certainly wouldn't hold my breath. I highly doubt they add dx11. They'll be focusing on optimizing dx12

You won’t see dx11 am afraid.
Tend to find stuff like that had to be incorporated from the ground up

is it very complicated to put directx11? Can the people of EA answer? If it is impossible, ok, but if there is at least a little opportunity, put it so we can choose .... Make at least one compromise for us, who once again disappointed with the non-optimization and bugs....................
