Latest update killing my GPU's
So, the update prior to this latest one, people were complaining their CPU usage was maxing out, and causing problems, I myself had no issues. Now with this latest update, my GPU usage after the spla...
Forum Discussion
I would try, but the CPU is fine, it's ~ the usage it has always been before this GPU related bug came about.
Can't get into the game, either EA's servers are down for maint or there's a new, neat bug.
Yes, I can see the command strings, and I have a good 30 years in IT. Problem is persistent as its a GPU issue, not CPU.
The last update brought this around. I'm not the only one this is happening to. Yes my framerate is locked, V-sync on or off, doesn't make a different, Variable screen resolution, nothing. Doesn't matter whether it's set to low or ultra. GPU is getting tanked like it's mining.
CPU need more then 8 cores , else user.cfg wont work !
8 threads * , i Have 6 cores with HyberThreading * works ok, after make User.cfg & write manually how much BF2042 can use threads.
In my case, entering 11 threads helped, the voice stopped slutting and the game runs smoothly.
Of course, if someone has a vintage processor like an I7 6700K or older, this processor can definitely be too weak under BF2042. Also yes, in such cases even commands won't help.
You can also try to use the "Smart Game Booster", which closes unnecessary background operations in Windows and relieves the CPU from about 5-16%, but this does not mean that this program will solve the problem of the game freezing or high CPU consumption, it will only cause the game to be able to use more of the CPU's processing power as a result of Windows freeing it up.
Nvidia has a power management option, if you have nvidia, go to the Nvidia panel/Manage 3d Settings and set the power management mode to Adaptive and restart the computer. After this setting, the GPU manages the core and Vram clocks much better, so there are no lags. If you have Radeon, look for something similar in the AMD Panel
This setting is also a helpful option .
I hope this will improve your game playability issue. BF2042 has demanding graphics, so it puts a heavy load on the GPU, you won't be able to overcome it.
Better do a cleanboot and disable all processes.
Only keep game platform processes (services) a ive.

I don't recommend disabling everything (including antivirus and firewall) apart from the game processes, you may catch a trojan which will allow someone to break into someone else's account/computer via your PC and it's then that the uniformed services will come to you and not the hacker, and these days it's no problem to remotely remove any traces of the virus after the fact by the hacker, and all the blame falls on the owner of the PC.
The second reason why I don't recommend doing this, due to the fact that everyone uses their PC for things like facebook, bank account or email (hardly anyone does), if you disable all Windows protection processes (including antivirus and firewall) it's like removing the door in your flat and making a free entry for everyone, everyone enters and takes what they find after all ''found not stolen''.
Such a solution is even weak for those who only have a computer for the game and really only log in to the game (do not use Facebook or anything else except the game), the first better amateur with a primitive keylogen that would detect any antivirus writes down the login and password from the cache and the game account lost 🙂 except for Windows Defender, which only detects fake software.
It's even possible to hack into a PC via a game (you play and the hacker does his thing)
