Battlefield 2042 Extreme Lag on servers

I have redownloaded BF2042 over 5 times. I have done all the hot fixes and side fixes people have posted. I have recently gotten a new router and new modem. I have updated my hardware before the launch of this game to play this game. Through it all I still have tons of lag across almost all servers unless its one of the small portal maps but still i have a little bit of lag. I have tried everything for this ultimate edition to no avail. I did not buy this game to just play with bots. I have made multiple request and heard nothing back from ea. I have friends that play with no lag that have less hardware specs then i do and a couple that have better then i do. I just dont get it.

  • Tried another round of MP. Deleting the cashe helps at the beginning of the round but afterwards its back to its laggy self. My Cpu is running 40-50% and my gpu is running at 10-20% the whole time. I have 160 hours into this game and maybe 10 or less has been in multiplayer trying to fix this problem or trying to fight through the lag.

    @DarnitJoe Its not you. This started after they did something to the servers on 2/8/22. It does not seem to affect everyone, but its consistent with me and my PC is damn near as fast as you can build these days along with a 100Mb internet connection.
  • I had a 4790k which I overclocked. It met the minimum requirements but at the end of the day it wasn't powerful enough to run it without extreme lag, sure I could play but it wasn't pleasant.

    I upgraded to a 12700k, overclocked that and it now runs super smooth on low settings with a gtx1080oc.

    In console type perfoverlay.drawfps true

    I bet your cpu is in red.. not enough processing power to run it smooth I'm afraid.
