Object,textures, lighting loading issue in BF 2042

After one update in season 6 of BF2042, i started having the issue mentioned in the title. The textures now take very long time (40sec) in the redacted map when i spawn and some lights and objects also pop in every time i spawn. Around that time of game update i also updated AMD BIOS AGESA 120B with the security patch so i don't know if the issue is caused by AMD update or game update.

The game is now unplayable for me.

Here is the image showing issue that i am having - https://imgur.com/a/redacted-map-texture-issue-cwDvr7N

What i have tried- i reinstalled windows with latest bios 7A38vBL for my motherboard. Before this i tried rolling back BIOS update to AGESA 1.2.0.2. I also verified the integrity of game files and tried resetting CMOS.

My specs-

CPU- Ryzen 3 3300x

GPU- MSI GTX 1650 D6 AERO ITX OCV1

PSU- CX 550

RAM- Corsair vengeance LPX 2x8

CMK8GX4M1A2400C16R (both ver. 8.30)

Motherboard- MSI B450M PRO VDH MAX

OS- Windows 10 64 bit

Game drive- WD Blue 1TB

OS drive- WD green 240gb SATA SSD

I request game developers to confirm if this is normal behaviour or is my system at fault. Please reply if someone else has noticed this behaviour in game.

    @AngryGoliath72  Is it possible to clear up some space at youre boot drive (ssd) ? <-- move stuff from ssd to your hdd (downloads/games ect ect ect)

    And move youre bf2042 folder to the ssd ,then in ea app/steam select new location for bf2042 (youre ssd).
    Then repair it with ea app/steam so it dont need to download bf2042 again.

    Cheers

    @AngryGoliath72 Ya got perofrmance issue with system and network !!!!
    Use a utp cable for youre network, this will lower LATENCY !
    A fast drive will make loadtimes (before and during ghame) faster.
    Game is constant loading when ya are in a match , especially if ya join 128p servers (64vs64).

    Ya could play in the 32p (16vs16) servers or even less players , this will make it less hard for youre system to stay update !

    The network ya are connected to is probarly shared withj other users , if they use the same network and start download, watch movies , stream , ect ect ect will eat youre connection 😉

    Cheers
  • You didn't answer 2nd question - is 27 secs of load time of textures enough time to get you stop playing the game if you were me ??

    One thing i noticed that at nighttime in my region the problem gets little more worse. Even battlefield 4 had issues loading ground textures in singleplayer, a much smaller game. I think DICE needs to sort this for future games otherwise even ssd will have problems.

    @AngryGoliath72  I got NO issues with Graphics and loadtime as you do.
    But we cannot compare youre systen and network with that i use.
    I also got Fiber , but i use UTP45 (cat8 cable) , and i got 1000Mb download and 1000MB upload.
    And also much faster system . nvme "drives" and much faster memory + cpu.

    You could contact youre isp to check if there is some issue with youre connection, from them to youre house, or some HOP issues with EA servers !!!

    Cheers

    ps do this:

    Press Wndows key + R, now typ CMD , hold down CTRL+SHIFT button and press ENTER.
    In the UAC windows select YES.
    Now enter this command

    tasklist>C:\serviceslist.txt

    At youre C: drive is now a file, serviceslist.txt , post this file please !

    @AngryGoliath72  Hello,

    i do see ya use AVAST VIRUS scanner and it seems avast could "eat up" some pc performance.
    Uninstall Avast (windows virus/defender is good enough those days) use this tool https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlName=Uninstall-AVG-software-Clear-Remover&supportType=home

    I also see ONEDRIVE active in the background that could "eat up" youre network performance, make sure ONEDRIVE isnt booting with windows

    Disable this startup with https://www.revouninstaller.com/nl/revo-uninstaller-free-download/
    also disable as much asd possible other apps from booting with windows. (select TOOLS, AUTORUN MANAGER in Revo)
    (download/install as portable version so you dont need to install, run revo as an ADMINMISTRATOR)

    Cheers

    PS use windows security , this is good as all other virus/malware scanners.
    Those 3rd party tools only consume a lot of PC and NETWORK performance.
    Make sure ya check for windows updates to update youre windows security and delete all other stuff !

  • Look Rokebo, stop protecting EA and giving me random recommendations. From morning to early evening the game runs fine and textures load within 2 secs. The TN value is also lower, here is a proof of that- https://imgur.com/a/g33M2zH

    After the stated time span the game starts running like crap indicated by a higher TN value of 26ms.

    So it is NOT my GPU, CPU, RAM, or HDD issue, the game itself is 100gigs of GARBAGE and EA did not improve their tech in over 11 years after battlefield 4. I will quit playing this game and vomit about it in steam reviews. Never had such issues in Halo infinite.

    @AngryGoliath72 yes at screenshot TN is ok, but the LAT is very high , youre latency (ping) is unstable ! <> network related

    Cheers
  • I am really curious, is texture loading related to network latency or TN value ? Are you sure ? Why afternoon experience is different from evening experience ? The gameplay is really good but I can't play like this.

    @AngryGoliath72 LAT is more related to rubberbaning, stutter and stuf during game play, killed while ya around the cornecr ect ect.
    TN can be multiple issues, (can also be related to LAT.) but also during some system performance (gpu, cpu, memory ect ect).

    Cheers
  • So bf 2042 streams textures from server it seems. Really sad that there is no response from EA , they can't fix this backend issue. @EA_Rtas  can you confirm if the game streams textures from server ? Also why after evening time the textures start taking much longer to load ? How can i achieve the daytime performance ?
