Please list all steps you've tried so far:
1) Deleted every trace of BF2042 and reinstalled multiple times.
2) Tried 3 different Nvidia drivers, most current and 2 versions before that.
3) Changed graphics settings from Low to Ultra as well as all other in-game settings
The game hitches very badly for about 1-2 seconds at which time you lose all input and die. I can make another example if you want but it's shown in the videos above.
I did a few MSI Afterburner Benchmarks to confirm it's the game and not something else.
Here's what the game looks like when it's running perfectly fine:
BF2042.exe benchmark completed
Average framerate : 153.1 FPS
Minimum framerate : 152.2 FPS
Maximum framerate : 153.4 FPS
1% low framerate : 90.0 FPS
0.1% low framerate : 90.0 FPS
And here's what the game looks like when the freeze happens:
BF2042.exe benchmark completed
Average framerate : 137.0 FPS
Minimum framerate : 114.8 FPS
Maximum framerate : 155.2 FPS
1% low framerate : 67.9 FPS
0.1% low framerate : 4.6 FPS
As you can see, it's nearly a full-on lock up for a few seconds, then returns to normal. No matter what I change for settings in-game or on my PC, nothing matters.
Completely wiped all traces of BF2042 and even the EA App and reinstalled it all. Same issue even with a default profile.
Tested several other games, no problems at all, perfect 3dMark scores.
It seems this is a BF2042 issue, maybe in in the last patch. I don't know but it just started all of the sudden and I didn't change anything.
Games remains unplayable, very disappointed.
I might have a possible fix.
try to run the hardware and devices troubleshooter in the search bar on windows and see if performance is improved.

please watch the video
game is unplayable...
Heres a compilation video I made of the issue:
@EA_Illium Any ideas?
attaching screenshots of the issue, before it happens and during the spike itself.
it looks like DRM related.
