Battlefield 2042 Extreme Lag on servers

Question

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.

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.

@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.

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.
