Cache folder stuttering

Can't find anything about. Could anyone from Dice explain why the game start to stutter after cache folder gets more than 500mb of files. With 800mb stuttering a lot. 

When we clean the folder game gets smooth again. I already tried clean Shader Cache before clean bf2042 cache folder and dont work.

My setup is ryzen 5600x + rx 6600xt + 2x8gb ddr4 3000 cl15 + nvme 3500mb/s not full.

Already tried format PC but is the same when cache folder gets 500-800 stuttering mess start.

  • 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!

    Please move it to %APPDATA% where it belongs.
    Onedrive is causing stutter because of the syncing of this folder.

    Hey @S1n31ra,

    If you are experiencing issues with OneDrive constantly syncing this folder, it is maybe a good thing to exclude the folder from the backups.
  • Sadly since the cache folder is in the Documents folder, if you exclude the folder in OneDrive it will be deleted forcing the settings and other things to reset. It's not really viable. EA should move the cache to programdata or appdata which is where 99% of other games store their shader cache.

  • Yoooooooo i foun out that turning windows fast start back on fixet the problem with textures on gadgets and sidearms. Guys please tell me that you have this still off, i mean windows fst start.
