Hello,Battlefield 2042's Anticheat uses more CPU (or rather the entirety) than the game itself.When you join any game, the Anticheat consumes the entire amount of CPU. You can't disable it in the task manager.CPU I5 13400k GPU 1080TiDoes anyone have a solution or do I have to wait until BF 7 to delude myself that the devs will stop killing the series?

@AntiCheatWard first of all, all pc gamers have been waiting for 3 weeks on a reply of any ea employee in a 175 page long ea forum about stuttering problems due to anticheats new update. Second of all it got to the point where some people even wanted to refund the game (including me) due to the fact that its just unplayable. Third of all we have been patient enough and our only hope were the patch updates, yet none of you looked into anything weve said and this just shows that its true. Here is a link if u dont believe me. Its unplayable and its disgraceful how long weve been waiting now. For the love of God roll back to the old anticheat or atleast make an update that works. https://youtu.be/0xvLY2Dndgw?si=EAitP3t5ru3MBvbi

@AntiCheatWard Finally we found profesional EA employe who start doing sometihng about it. Please just update us on the progress. In a separate thread, another EA employee left us 14 days ago without any response (we are working, checking and that's all). We feel like EA doesn't give a damn about us, but we are the same players as PS or Xbox owners. We just want to have fun playing your game.

Appreciate the additional information folks, some of that wasn't filtered over to me. It's clear my reply was a bit too off-the-cuff there relying on the information I received from others.We'll dig in soon, thanks.

@AntiCheatWard My English is bad, sorry for that.I just can't believe you did't know anticheat is the cause of stuttering.It has been almost three weeks. What a great example of interdepartmental communication.BF1, BFV, and FC(I only play these games) community all have the same stuttering problem. The only thing these games have in common is they both use ea anticheat., and The time communities starts to report the stuttering problem is about three weeks ago, which is exactly the time you guys released a silent update on anticheat. And the problem is not only happening on online modes.It seems not everyone has the stuttering problem, it works fine for some people.People who have games stuttering problem see same thing happens when they start the game: System or ntoskrnl.exe takes 100% usage on some CPU threads about every 10 seconds, and it lasts for 3 or 4 seconds. Please check and fix it,

@JonnyPT2001 wrote:@AntiCheatWardHonestly you got to be kidding!! And this is no time for kidding! If you guys paid attention to what people said you'd already seen that the stuttering and freezing happens either online or offline!!Look at this nice online mode (irony) called Squad Battles:https://youtu.be/0xvLY2Dndgw?si=EAitP3t5ru3MBvbiI never had any problem playing Fifa from 07 to 23, in FC24 anti cheat was brought in, the first weeks wasn't possible to play with my controller (anti cheat would give an error), and in FC 25 since the update 5 (and anticheat was updated too) the game is completely unplayable, either online or offline! And by what people say the hackers still there, so the only ones being affected are the people that just want to enjoy the game.If you want to defend the anticheat software defend it, but don't lie. It's been an absolute disgrace since FC24.@AntiCheatWard If you need more evidence there it is:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhGtRl3bFlc

@ZUHJ97 FC25 and BF2042 are running the same version of EA anticheat, I don't believe these issues are related to EA anticheat, the reports of stuttering and freezing impacting that title have been limited to only online modes, and EA anticheat runs regardless so we wouldn't have made that difference.

Happy to investigate if there's evidence to the contrary.

@AntiCheatWardDid you even read through the FC25 thread at all? The stuttering happens in singleplayer and multiplayer.
What a joke of a company.

@AntiCheatWard you had to be kidding or are you only defendind your software? This anti cheat doesnt work at all to prevent cheaters, in the other hand works like a charm to drain perfomance
