I'm not sure what the issue is and if this an EA issue or a Microsoft issue. This frame stuttering issue has been a thing lately and I would first guess hardware being at fault, maybe GPU is dying but I recently purchase this GPU and BF2042 is the only game I experience it with. Has anyone came across this issue? Have you found a solution to it?

@NupeKeemHave you tried the following :Enable game mode on Windows.Disable In-Game Overlays.Update your graphics driver.Enable hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling.Verify the integrity of game files (for Steam users).Clear the cache for the game.Change in-game settings.These articles may be worth reading and point you in the right direction.https://www.thewindowsclub.com/battlefield-2042-fps-drops-and-stuttering-issueshttps://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Cache-folder-stuttering/m-p/11550370Hope you get it sorted.

Have you tried the following :
Enable game mode on Windows.
Disable In-Game Overlays.
Update your graphics driver.
Enable hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling.
Verify the integrity of game files (for Steam users).
Clear the cache for the game.
Change in-game settings.

The only thing that I believe resolutive this issue is the "Enable hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" suggestion. I have done all the previous things before and was unsuccessful on enabling that feature.

Good morning
actually with the latest updates there is stuttering. The problem was solved some time ago but unfortunately it is present again and I assure you that disabling or enabling various functions is of no use
Unfortunately the game is broken or there is something that doesn't work in windows definitely and I assure you it's not my hardware

@kamaleont_007 Similar boat. This issue appears to come and go at random. Ive tried everything. Drivers, deleting cache, dropping all settings to Low etc.

What Graphics cards are you all on? Latest AMD drivers create big stuttering issues. I am working with AMD to investigate / resolve.
I can runs smooth with older drivers Adrenaline released drivers (23.10.2) etc. but not the latest AMD WHQL
Oh and force dx12 in your config file !

Sapphire 7900xtx and 7950x graphics card
server at 128 microstuttering, despite driver rollback, decreases but does not disappear. I think the latest Windows update also contributes to making things worse
Some time ago I kindly asked to implement FSR in the game but unfortunately to no avail (we are AMD owners too)
I hope in the near future this stuttering will disappear.
after spending a lot of money we should have fun instead of trying to solve various problems
Happy New Year

It looks like your CPU is engaged in a C-State. Go into your computers BIOS and look for an option that says C-State and disable it. If you cannot disable your CPU C-State then set it to lowest setting possible which should be C0.
Usually modern CPUs should trigger C-State levels only when lightly loaded or near an idle state so that power can be conserved based on need however I have noticed that in certain games such as Battlefield 5 and Battlefield 2042 the CPU will “flap” between C-States causing periodic pauses.
The above should fix the problem so you shouldn't need to do the following but if you want more efficiency you can also try to disable core parking using the software QuickCPU or the more simple version CPU Unpark from developer coderbag.

Good morning
I disabled C State and the stuttering problem disappeared
Thanks so much for the suggestion

You are welcome. You can also use the free software ThrottleStop to disable CPU C-States in Windows if anyone is having problems doing this in their BIOS as not all BIOS menus offer this option or perhaps it might be that you want to setup power profiles that can have it enabled or disabled. However I would recommend just disabling it in the BIOS if you can as CPU C-States cause more problems then they solve. In most cases I have seen that the CPU will switch to a C-State when you are doing an intensive operation which will usually mean a loss of performance. If you don't get stutters then you will probably lose frames instead, in other cases you might experience audio playback issues but this will depend on the software and the CPU architecture.
Also and this is only a hypothesis but in the worst case I believe that you may increase the likely hood of program instability by having C-States enabled as sometimes software may have bugs such as race conditions which are further exacerbated through the use of C-States.
