Constant Lag
I just brought the game off Steam. Whenever I'm in game, when deployed, I get constant lag, as if I am missing packets, with the 3 orange squares in the top left. I have no other problems with any ot...

0:06 I teleport forward
0:10 my gun feels and sounds like it stuttering
0:16 I tried to go up the stairs but the game lagged me around them?
0:20 very winnable gun fight but my bullets don't seem to connect on the server side I guess
0:49 I teleport forward and bullets don't seem to connect again
This is what it is like every time I deploy.

DICE TeamHi @twitchandooo, the issues you are experiencing is related to the unstable FPS you are having.
Your CPU is maxing out and will be the bottleneck for your experience. (I moved from the Skylake CPU to something newer and that did day and night difference.)

- @EA_Atic Damn that's unfortunate, guess that's the only fix to it?
@twitchandoooyes, oc can help just a very little , but you still got FPS issues then. Your cpu is working hard , very hard. Also get very hot. CPU is to slow for this game unfortunate. IF ya go for a new cpu check your motherboard manufacture website and check the QVL for supported CPU at your motherboard.
If ya found an upgrade, check for the EAN number and google that EAN number. Yuu will find a shop with the lowest price ! Very often the website TWEAKERS, will display your product / EAN nr. and websites who sell them with current prices !I have this as well sometimes, my FPS is 144 and no bottleneck but it keeps lagging and stuttering.
Drop the ingame resolution to the lowest supported resolution ( 1024x768 ). If its really a CPU bottleneck, TN values should be lower now, since your CPU is above the recommend requirements.

- @Flakstar Even after changing to 1024x768 I get the problem
@twitchandooolowest supported res + CPU above the recommend Cpu should run the game fine, even the lower resolution puts far more load on the cpu, since the FPS output is higher. But this only the case when the application is designed well, which isnt the case for 2042. To redcue the CPU bottleneck you can increase the internal render resolution by driver upsampling. But i doubt this will have any effect on TN. Capping my frames to 72 or uncapped frames doesnt seem to influence my TN values at all. You dont run any corporate endpoint security solution, which hooks and monitors tons of syscalls?
2042 compiles shader bytecode etc for PSOs during runtime of the app, which causes instable framerates and isnt Microsoft DX12 recommend best practises and according to Attic this seems to affect the netcode.
So your best bet is to wait until the team figured out a solution for the thread stalling problem.They should compile most stuff needed for PSOs on app starts once and not during the runtime.
Check the threads with PSO pipeline errors, badly desinged threading. The GFX driver says "nah i m out of the rendering buisness since the app doesnt provide the needed informations to the PSO pipeline to render the objects.
Not entirely sure that is the case. There might be a underlaying problem.
I have a i7-8700K (No OC), RTX 3080 and 32 GB Ram.
On 29th Sept. starting getting these issues, without updating my Nvidia drivers or anything.
I tried everything, went from 90+ FPS to 30-45 FPS with tons of these warnings. CPU is not thermal throttling, GPU is not neither.
I have changed nothing in-game or installed any software in Windows.
So I tried to move the game from my "gaming SSD", Samsung EVO 850 SSD to my dedicated m.2 SSD, with still nothing.
I have to friends, both with same RAMs, CPUs, Windows 10 and same harddrives run over the settings.
One is running everything on low with 2070 Super card, getting around 70 FPS, while the other have 3070 and getting 80-90 FPS and runs the game on ULTRA with the same RAM, and CPU (!!!!!)
I used to run the game around 95 FPS, maybe a bit less with tons of explosions and what ever could happen. I tried updating the Nvidia to the newest driver (had the next-newest before I updated) with no results. I even tried setting everything to LOW, and still have the same FPS.
I do not understand how I can play this game fine, one day and then suddenly getting these issues.
Settings attached.- @BabylonDK you should delete your profiles. I see no resolution settings in your profile, who tells the game to run on.
PS , check your motherboard manufacture site, NVME shares PCIEl lanes, Your got multiple GPU cards and NVME drives ruinning, check this, i believe you go from pcie16 to pcie8 at some point !
Get into the data and let us know ! - @BabylonDK Same here my friend that I always play with has the same RAM, CPU, Windows 10 and both stored on SSDs but our difference is that I have a RTX 3070 Ti and he has a GTX 1080 but somehow he doesn't have this problem and 60+ fps on medium setting
- @BabylonDK Another difference is that he bought the game from Origin and I bought it from Steam but I can't see that being the problem?
- @twitchandooo i believe your gpu and cpu are underpowered, staed this a few messages ago i believe, Send your dxdiag again, and post your bf2042 profile also please
