    RESOLVED - Post Marked as Solution for Visibility

    Hey everyone,

    Thanks to everyone for keeping the thread updated.

    I can confirm that the EA anticheat teams have released the fix mentioned earlier this morning for EU time, resolving the memory over-usage issue caused by EA anticheat.

    If you're still encountering the problem after restarting both the EA app for PC/Steam/Epic (wherever you own the game on PC) and Battlefield 2042 itself, please try repairing the game or verifying game files through your respective client to see if the issue persists.

    I'll be closing this thread soon as the problem has been resolved with this fix and confirmed by reports.

    If you're facing a similar or related issue or would like to initiate a new general discussion, please create a new topic or respond to a more recent thread.

    Thanks once again.

I played last night. It did the whole * it does.  

Maxed out my memory, * started beeping and it went back down.  But then it fixed itself...sorta . About the third cycle it quit locking up and stuttering, back to smooth gameplay.  Mind you it was 80 percent of 64GB still in use, but I could actually play the game.  Played 5 more rounds that way.

For the techs:

I did notice I had a windows update around the same time this mess started.  Nothing else changed besides the May 10th update on 2042 but this seems to have effected every EA game.  I'm also on windows 11.

Edit:

Played again last night and same thing happened.  After it maxed out 3 or 4 times it settled again at 80 percent.  I'll post screen grabs later today.

Provide a DxDiag report of your system and attach it to your post here - Attached


Specify the amount of RAM your system has = 32GB DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 16GB)


Indicate whether XMP is enabled in your system's BIOS = YES, XMP enabled

Inform us if you've attempted to update* your system's BIOS = YES, not recently but on vers. 4408

Same issues as other posters RAM maxing out 99%+ huge FPS drops, game hanging on exit due to EA AC, etc...
