Been having this issue since i bought the game 2 weeks ago. Almost every time i launch the game i only have 1 fps all the time. I recorded the whole process of opening the game from Steam to joining a game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4t1S59ZQPAMy CPU usage is really low like you can see in the video near the end. At the beginning it's around 10% but the more time goes by the lower it drops around 1 - 3%.When it works the CPU is around 70%.I haven't found anyone else with this exact issue.What i've tried so far: Deleting cache, reinstalling game, changing the game location to another ssd, starting from folder, starting as admin, turning off threaded optimization/changingthese settings in the NVIDIA Control Panel, verifying integrity of game files, restarting pc and opening nothing but the game after restarting.It does work sometimes without issues for hours but when i come back to play later, it starts with this issue again.My specs:CPU: Ryzen 7 5800XGPU: RTX 3080 MSI Gaming Z Trio Ram: 32 GB G.Skill 3600 MHZMainboard: MPG X570 GAMING PRO CARBON WIFIStorage: 2x 1TB M2 SSD Samsung 980 PROGame Ready Driver Ver: 527.56 (the latest)

Hide all Microsoft services, DISABLE (uncheck) ALL other processes, apps and services !

Cleanboot is just a one time clean boot ! Next reboot all will be reset and a normal boot will be occure.
Use msconfig to disable apps permanent each for new reboot.
DISABLE ALL other processes, apps and services from booting with windows, check instructions below:
Use the keyboard shortcut “Windows Key + R” and the “Run” window will open.
In the text box, typ MSCONFIG and press Enter or OK and the MsConfig window will open".
Select the tab STARTUP (select OPEN TASK MANAGER), and disable apps/programs by right click at them!
Those disabled apps will no longer boot with Windows , till ya set them enabled again !

@npomuBBcex Ah ok ! Did ya try to do a repair / reinstall windows ?
Repair Install Windows, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, is the most stable method to advance to the latest version, and solves most problems. Tutorial here: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/fix-windows-10-repair-install

if there are still issues, please update post.
Also inform us about brand / typ --->>> system / memory you got !

What i've already done to solve the problem:
Deleting cache, reinstalling game, changing the game location to another ssd, starting from folder, starting BF2042 as admin and origin as admin, launch BF2042 with compatibility Win8, verifying integrity of game files, restarting pc and opening nothing but the game after restarting, repair install windows, make the user.cfg file, changing PROFILESAVE to run DX12 and to stop running DX12, changed DNS ports, made exceptions for firewall, increased pagefile to 4096 on ssd and hdd

@npomuBBcex you did a cleanboot , and then tested game ?
Make sure youre system is using minimal resources by other hardware and software !

You could check for Windows services safe to disable at google (25 services)
Also check for BF2042 MAX FPS SETTINGS at google !

Let me know if it fixed anything for you ?!
