Character keeps moving without keyboard input

Hey Forum

I am having issues with bf2042 where my character keeps moving in all directions without input from a second up to 5+ seconds ever since season 4 update. Sometimes if I press multiple buttons synchronously one after another (e.g., moving forward, left, back and jump) my character would do them but with 1-5+ second delays between each one?

  • I have tried going into system configuration and disabling apps to see if they are interfering and this still has not fixed the issue.
  • I have updated all my windows and nvidia drivers to latest ones.
  • I have tried unplugging my thrustmaster t16000m flight stick from the PC and this not helped.
  • I have repaired the game files in steam this has not helped.
  • I have reinstalled bf2042 and this has not helped.
  • I have tested my keyboard (Razer BlackWidow) in other games fps games and is working fine.
  • My mouse is working fine in other games too as above.
  • My cpu usage seems to float around quite a bit from like 8-80% but majority of time stays at around 50-60% during real game time.
  • GPU usage seems to float around 60-95% and very rarely hits 100%.
  • VRAM is at around 90% with times at 95%.
  • I have tested my network connection and it is running fine.
  • No downloads in background occurring at time of game.
  • I have lowered graphical settings from ultra, this has not helped.
  • At one stage in game I was running up a hill and it was doing it without any keyboard input for about 5 seconds 2 times and my cpu usage then was 55% and gpu usage was 75%.

System specs:

CPU: i7 9700k

GPU: Asus Evo RTX 2080 super OC (8G)

Motherboard: Asus TUF z390 gaming wifi

Ram: 32G Corsair Vengence DDR4

PSU: Corsair HX850W

Any help would be appreciated 🙂. I have attached a dxdiag file.

I highly doubt it is my system as it is handling bf2042 with the performance numbers being recorded as above. The only thing I can think of is during season 4 there was a significant boost in player count due to bf2042 being free on PS Plus and am thinking it is due to server lag on EA's end????

    So consoles are having the same issues? I've always thought it was a server issue with lots of traffic. Have you checked for controller stick drift? It is a common issue on PS5 controllers.

    Hey Rokebo

    I have tried all suggestions and nothing has worked thus far.

    The things I have noticed are:

    • When a server is roughtly 1/4 full and rest bots I have a lot less episodes.
    • As a serve is filling up with players than the episodes of character moving without keyboard input increases.
    • I have nil issues in private servers by myself.
    • when I fly a heli/jet with thrustmaster t16000m or m&k rarely occurs (only 1-2 times).
    • when I play on a smaller server even less incidents occur.
    • I have attached a couple of pictures during an episode, I had to decrease quality to 720p hopefully you can see numbers.

    thanks.

    @CashKing316   ok ya did lower the resolution <-- at desktop and ingame ?
    Disconnected all hardware so only 1 mouse, 1 keyboard , 1 headset are connected ?
    Did reboot system and did not connect any other hardware ?

    Download and use HWINFO64 portable , check sensors only in app
    Now test game m, and watch for temps, mhz from cpu - memory and gpu , and if possible any voltages.

    Update us what ya see during game test !!!

    Thanks

    ps if there still is still an issue , do this also:

    Cleanboot / Msconfig
