FPS and GPU usage drops when friends join in my Squad/Party

As the title says, when I'm playing alone, I have normal FPS and GPU usage, but when friends join my Squad/Party, the game starts to stutter like crazy and it's barely playable, I lose around 20-40 fps depending on the map and situation. I'm playing on a current gen. high-end hardware, so it's definitely NOT a hardware issue. It's a software issue, alias it's the game's fault.  Any solution for this? Did anyone notice that "bug"?

So far I tried these things, none of them worked:
- Disabled Origin overlay
- Deleted igo64.dll (later inserted it back again as it didn't solve anything)
- Forced DX12 through config file
- Tried other Windows version
- Tried other graphics driver
- Pressed on "Repair Game" in Origin multiple times
- Reinstalled the game
- Deleted the user.cfg so my game starts with "fresh"/stock settings
- Followed basically every Battlefield 2042 FPS Boosting tutorials on YouTube and tried FR33THY's Windows optimization too

Still having the same problem after trying all these stuff... Yes, even after update 1.1!

  • I had an eureka moment and realised that the problem was the game itself! I uninstalled it and probably won't install this joke of a game ever again. Gonna go back to BF5 or even BF1 where in both games I can play with 200+ FPS effortlessly. 🙂

    P.s..: I chose your reply as "Solution" so this ticket can be closed...

  • I see everyone complaining about this AND join black screen/etc issues and have also narrowed it down to WHEN I AM IN PARTY WITH HOMIE.

    It is fine when playing alone.

    EA always just answers with try and reinstall blah blah blah but they clearly messed the networking up with their update last month and need to stop blaming other people.
