Battlefield 2042 Update 2.1.0 Lag on Main Menu

I did a little check / investigation !
It seems our Dev's locked cpu cores ammount to a minimum of 8.
User file still works , but you cannot go below the minimum of 8 cores anymore!
Maybe the try to keep a minimum of performance for systems that are not in the "low end"!

I did also try the Render.ForceDx11 1
But this will crash BF2042 (probarly works only for consoles !)
BF2042 is made in/for dx12 at PC!

Also did the command: RenderDevice.UseReserverdJobThreads
But also this did not change in ammount of cpu cores !

Im still hunting for any solution, while you guys could of course report this , so they activate core ammount settings again 😉 

Cheers.

Ok having set up the User.cfg file it does not run any better. I still see cpu usage is down below 10% and so is gpu usage. The game was running fine before the game and windows 11 updated so there must be an issue somewhere there. I just hope EA fixes this soon as none of the recent updates have fixed this problem since it started in version 2.1.0. Hell... I haven't heard from any EA devs on this issue at all actually.

@RheyLEW82yes its a known issue with certain controllers. Solution could be , wired connection , with a data/power cable . A bluetooth hub especially for those controllers (microsoft). Drivers you can download and install , for install controllers at windows.
But its also possible your controller isnt "compatible" (yet) with windows.

Game On !

I'm using an Official brand new MICROSOFT Xbox One controller. Like I mentioned, I've tried both wired via USB type C cable and Microsoft wireless adapter - which uses RF and not Bluetooth.  I've also updated the controller's firmware. It still makes no sense that the game runs fine the second I turn off the controller and use keyboard and mouse...

So my game randomly just started working fine months ago, I did nothing to fix it. Fast forward to now Jan 2023, I got a new 3060 Ti (coming from rx5700) and the stuttering is back. I'm running all latest drivers and of course every other game is fine. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?? This is very frustrating..

And just like before, if I disconnect my Xbox controller the game runs flawlessly. Doesn't matter if it's wired or wireless adapter. Plug the controller back in and the game stutters return immediately. I have also cleared my BF cache....Help please

When you are playing is your CPU maxed out by any chance?

How do I check CPU load while playing? And what is the correlation between playing with controller vs mouse and keyboard? I've seen this be an issue for others in reddit posts...

I just checked and while playing my CPU load fluctuates between 40-80%, it doesn't max out. Again when I disconnect Microsoft Xbox controller, game runs perfect..
