Extreme stutters on i9 12900k
Greetings everyone, I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask but I'm getting desperate if I'm honest. So as the title says, I'm having horrendous experience with this game, no matter which game...
Greetings once again and thank you so much for reaching out.
In the process of troubleshooting I decided to roll back to a previous GPU driver and the issue has been fixed. When I put the PC together last Friday it downloaded and updated all drivers by itself and things were more or less fine for pretty much every game, but Battlefield 2042 was a nightmare to get running properly.
After DDU to a previous driver version I immediately noticed the CPU usage to be at 30% in the menu (previously 55-60%). After the first 5 minutes of playing I still had some stutters but that was due to building shaders I imagine, and after that it was extremely smooth, no more hiccups or stutters.
For someone that might have this issue in the future, please don't be stupid like me and let Windows update your GPU drivers, do it manually and without being connected to the internet.
Once again thank you for reaching out and sorry for opening a thread unnecessarily.
