BF 2040 unplayable - CPU 100% and GPU not

I honestly want a status update on this "bug".   Can someone official please give me a status update?

I have contacted their tech support and the official way to get status is to post in the forums.   Here I am.   What is the latest update?  Last I saw was late October and it was that the developers are working on it.   Surely, there has been some sort of update since then, right?

I am still waiting for an official response on these forums.  Tech support said come here to get an answer from someone official to the status of my "bug" fix.

Is there any status?  Is it being looked at?

Any update on this?   I was told to come here for an official answer.   So far, it's been 2 weeks and no official answer.

Having the same problems with no answer from ea. I have recommended hardware and a good internet connection. tried all the fixes and i even had my router and modem replaced. Very frustrating.

I had a clan mate have me try something, and I think it is helping.  I haven't had issues, but I haven't been on a crowded server yet.

- Go to DOCUMENTS / BATTLEFIELD2042 / SETTINGS / and a file called PROFSAVE_profile

- right click on it and select OPEN.   

- Use NOTEPAD to open it.

Change these settings:

GstRender.DLSSEnabled 1

GstRender.Dx12Enabled 1

GstRender.ShadowQuality 0

GstRender.WeaponDOF 0

-File and SAVE

I have been able to play the game for the first time in months.   I don't think I've had an issue yet, but still haven't been on a crowded server.

@heychadwickThe 9700k's seem to be effected the most, a lot of posts about it, i think 8 core 8 thread just is not enough, it needs more still, I had a 8086k (6 core 12 thread @ 5ghz) and was getting hammered (like 70-80% usage), GPU would drop into 60-70% usage (3090).

I upgraded to a 12900k (16 core 24 thread) and its a night and day difference, however, I have 10 cores being utterly hammered (running @ 5.1ghz) still and it will still drop the GPU down to low 90% usage in some areas)

The tl;dr is, this game is so demanding it's insane. 9700k's are great CPU's but this really wants a few more threads. Lets hope they optimise this ... a lot.

I'm not crashing to desktop, but I am lagging so hard I can't play.   

I was having the CPU at 100% and GPU around 54% and couldn't play for 2 months.   Someone suggested I make the following changes in the config file:

GstRender.DLSSEnabled 1

GstRender.Dx12Enabled 1

GstRender.ShadowQuality 0

GstRender.WeaponDOF 0

That worked!  I was able to play yesterday for the first time in months and had ZERO issues.   

I patched today and I can't play the game.  It is even worse than it was before.  I'm lagging all over the place.  I can't go up stairs or ladders as I'm bouncing around without moving.  Half my grenades wont' actually throw, even though it looks like they do.  Things like that.

I've got an i7-9700, which I'm told has a "bug".   I've been coming to the forums for an update on that, but NO ONE has had an official update.
