Please optimize your EA AC cause is currently putting a really heavy load on CPU
After the last EA AC update, I noticed an increase in CPU usage while playing BF2042 (I7 8700K reaches up to 100% resource usage, which I didn't have before (previously it was max. 90%), so I decided to check in the task manager if the game is running after the last patch has become heavier, or is something else loading my CPU.
I noticed that EA AC consumes over ~10% of the CPU every 1-4 minutes, which leads to 100% CPU usage and lag.
I don't know what your anti cheat is scanning, but my eyes opened when I saw it.
Please make lighter code for your EA AC, because older CPUs are heavily loaded by this AC. If the I7 8700K feels it (in my opinion, still a very good processor for its age), I don't want to think about what gamers have on older units.
Console commands :
Thread.ProcessorCount 6
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 11
Thread.JobThreadPriority 2
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 11
don't help much in BF2042.
In BFV they had a significant impact on the CPU load, in BF2042 I have the impression that they do not work.
Unfortunately, EA AC does not allow setting processor affinity or changing the process priority, so I personally cannot do anything to reduce the CPU load.
Thanks DICE for reading the post, I hope DICE will release a lighter version of their anti cheat in the next patch.
