The game is poorly optimized and poorly coded to begin with.
I get anywhere between 50-75 fps depending on what´s happening in the game (maybe 80 if i´m standing still looking at a wall) @1440p. I have a Nvidia 3090 (that is running at like 25% memory in BF2042, wtf) and a very stable overclocked 8700K @5Ghz that runs flawlessly. I have to run everyhing on "low" to get usable fps. I should have 100 - 120 fps without problems on medium or high settings with my hardware.
Now the funny part is that the game bugged out once when i joined a Rush server...
All of a sudden there was just me on that server, no other players, no bots, no nothing. I decided to have a go anyway just to see the performance difference. I was constantly at 120 - 130 fps regardless of what i did. So adding other players murders the fps. I understand that it has an impact, offcourse it does there is more to render, but cutting it in half? Poor coding/optimizing for sure.
Hi,not meaning to be "that guy" but a 8700K is a absolute dinosour,only a madman(IMO) would pair that with a 3090,lol.

@Netranger9Well.. it´s running 100% stable @5Ghz with cl 15 overclocked sticks for ram. So it´s faster than probably 90-95% of all computers out there (everything apart from the very latest). I can max out every single game in existence.. but not 2042. I can play CoD Warzone etc with everything on max/ultra and i´m pressing my monitors max.. not the computer or gpu. The availability of electronics (and time) has kept me from switching to a never cpu, and frankly until BF2042 it hasn´t even been necessary.
I generally time my hardware upgrades in line with a new Battlefield as the games always have been hardware-intensive, especially on CPUs.
I had struggles with i9 7960x @4.4ghz and 3090 strix. By all logics if you get new game and have high end pc, you expect it to run good, that's how it has been in decades.
