    Hey everyone,

    In Update 1.1 (which went out on Wednesday) we made changes to Shader Caching which should result in a performance improvement. For this to work it does mean ensuring that you provide full read/write access to your Documents\Battlefield 2042\cache folder, and that you don't delete it.

     

    You might notice that the first load and playthrough of a level where the cache is being populated might still have some stuttering (hence the request not to delete the folder). However, any plays after that should feel much smoother.

     

    As a side note, if your Documents folder is automatically syncing with OneDrive then it can also cause an impact to performance.

     

    Lastly, curious to hear how overall performance is for you after the Update. Please do let us know if you have any further thoughts or feedback!

I have created a batch file that cleans up the folder and then starts BF.

(added sample coding below; create .txt file, copy coding into file, replace folder path, save and rename file to .bat)

    @GVlXxf Hi, yes, it will re-create it again, you cannot disable this.. it's only for the stuttering at the startup of the game. I could never played the first round properly because of stuttering; deleting the cache before each session solved this problem.
