Battlefield 2042 all menus are single digits in fps.

So I dont know whats going on, but my main menu, pause, and plus-system menus all go down to single digit frames. Ive repaired the game on steam (didnt buy from origin), rolled back on drivers and reupdated them, update my computer, Put all settings onto low graphics even lowered resolution, but nothing works. Those menus are all single digits had this problem for a couple days now, and it honeslty makes the game unplayable, because if I die I have to wait another 30-50 seconds on top of the long respawn timer. So I dont even want to play the game now and im giving it one last shot, if yall cant help or dont know whats going on then there no point in playing the game, and honestly trying to get my 80$s back sounds alot better of my time then wasting hours on a game that doesnt even run correctly.  OH also when im in game and in the respawn menu sometimes taking my mouse off the screen fixes it??? but only when the mouse is off the screen, when its on screen it lags. its weird...

    To me its similar.

    If i tab out and tab in again, it is ok, for a few seconds but then i am back at arround 5 FPS.

    Also have this now while using the + Menu ingame.

    Note Performance Overlay stats in top right corner and the virtually non-existent GPU or CPU utilisation when in menu.

    I've found that toggling between DLSS settings fixes this for at least a while, and then it will randomly drop again, another toggle fixes it again, etc.

    Experiencing the same problems and have tried Clean Booting, fresh installing (all documents and app data folders deleted on top of base installation), optimizing graphics settings with GeForce Experience, nada.

    I was legit enjoying this game when it came out on PC. Now it’s practically unusable and it’s far too late to request a refund and nothing is working.

    Edit: Changing Fullscreen Mode to either Windowed or Borderless does nothing for the FPS drops. Also putting all settings at low does nothing as well. What in the world is going on, I stop playing for a couple months and now the game isn’t even playable for me.

  • Ive tried in Fullscreen and in Boarderles same problem, ive tried also updating/reinstalling, driver stuff, the inly thing that fixed was turning off hardware acceleration but that tanks my performance, ive also tried lowest all all graphics settings.. please fixxx     i have a RTX 3070 TI, 64GB RAM, Windows 11 pro 64bit, Ryzen 7 5800x

  • I think I've just fixed this

    In Windows Settings -> Gaming -> Captures, I turned off the option 'Capture mouse cursor when recording a game' and the problem went away.

  • Thank you this solved my issue with frames dropping down to 1fps while in the menus and best squad screen

    By any chance, did you already find a fix? I have the exact same issue. Tried all the steps mentioned in this thread, but nothing fixed it. I have low cpu and gpu usage, is what the overlay shows. I get max 5 fps on a 6900xt and 3700x.
