Consistent Random CPU Usage Spikes
Hello, my partner and I have been running into consistent game stuttering for a number of weeks now, at least a month. I've tried a number of solutions to resolve things: - Replacing my modem - Rep...

@Rokebo73 The cleanboot and EA cache clear did not resolve anything. I had to turn on the EABackgroundService otherwise EA wouldn't launch, but everything else was disabled.
Here is my user.cfg I'm using:
Thread.ProcessorCount 8 Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8 Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0 Thread.JobThreadPriority 0 GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8
When I'm in game, I can see the following from Render.DrawScreenInfo 1:
And I'm still running into the stuttering due to CPU usage spikes. This was just while running around (not going to send a clip cause it's the exact same issue I've had since the start):
My CPU usage according to Task Manager (I closed the game to take the screenshot, hence the high usage dropping off, but you can see the cores being used by BF2042, and how most other cores are not maxed out. Again suggests background apps or their CPU usage isn't the problem:
Also I don't have OneDrive running. I specifically have it disabled because the auto-backup affects many things.
To me, it's still clearly Battlefield 2042 that is at fault here. Outside of me completely reinstalling my operating system, which I have no intention of doing, this software seems faulty.
Hey man.
Use only those 3 lines in youre User.cfg
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 10
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
Nothing more , nothing less.
Test game and update us !
ps also use HWINFO64 , set SENSORS ONLY , make a screens short from the
expanded CPU tab while game is running (swictch apps by pressing ALT + TAB)
Tell me what temps are doing, cheers
Some of the cpu cores are hitting 100% which will cause stutter. None of the cpu cores can be at 100%. Set a framerate cap so none of the cpu cores hit 100%.
In the Nvidia Control Panel (not the Nvidia Experience). Go to Manage 3D Settings => Program Settings => Select BF2042.exe from the dropdown => Max Frame Rate can then be set.

AMD Adrenalin if you have an AMD graphic card of course:
- Open Adrenalin
- go to Gaming tab
- Select your game
- In graphics section (left) select "Radeon Chill" (Limit FPS to save power)
- Adjust min and max FPS as per your needs
