Extreme Lag on Multiplayer Servers

I have redownloaded BF2042 over 5 times. I have done all the hot fixes and side fixes people have posted. I have recently gotten a new router and new modem. I have updated my hardware before the launch of this game to play this game. Through it all I still have tons of lag across almost all servers unless its one of the small portal maps but still i have a little bit of lag. I have tried everything for this ultimate edition to no avail. I did not buy this game to just play with bots. I have made multiple request and heard nothing back from ea. I have friends that play with no lag that have less hardware specs then i do and a couple that have better then i do. I just dont get it.

My PC:

  • OS: 64-bit Windows 10
  • Processor (AMD): AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
  • Memory: 32GB
  • Video Memory: 6GB
  • Graphics card (NVIDIA): Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060
  • DirectX: 12
  • Online Connection: 100MB
  • Hard-drive space: 100GB SSD

Tried another round of MP. Deleting the cashe helps at the beginning of the round but afterwards its back to its laggy self. My Cpu is running 40-50% and my gpu is running at 10-20% the whole time. I have 160 hours into this game and maybe 10 or less has been in multiplayer trying to fix this problem or trying to fight through the lag.

    @DarnitJoe  hmmm thats weird your wifi get more then a wired connection !
    The ethernet cable ya use , what cat. version is it , and how long is this cable ? Any splitters / connectors or extra hubs in this cable line ?
    The networkcard installed in your pc what are the connection specs ?
    What type of connection do ya get from your ISP ?

    PS tried the USER.CFG for workload at cpu, Your cpu still needs hard to work to run bf2042 !

    Also your MEM Hz is important, if ya got mem run at standard Hz , it could bottleneck in combo with cpu  ,your game play 


    Cheers !
