Re: BF2042 CPU Running At 100% Constantly For No Reason

Hey guys, dunno if this has already been posted, but while I was troubleshooting for this high cpu usage I found a Nvidia process that was using ~20% of my I7 9700K. Although the game still uses 100% of the cpu it seems killing the process gave it a litlle more breathing room and I was able to extract about 10 fps more. It is still far from good, getting about 70 fps on low settings with obs open on a 3080 (50% usage in game), but at least I can play and stream it now without looking like a slideshow.

If you have the same problem, right click on the process, go to folder, kill the process and rename the executable so it don't start again.

Apparently this doesn't interfere in anything related to nvidia software/hardware. For further details check this post on reddit.

Edit: I forgot to name the process. It's NVRLA.exe.

Cheers!

  • You may increase the max fps and average yes, but you won't fix the issues of stuttering and fps drops as the game currently uses 8C or 8TH, and if you play at high resolutions (i'm on 3840x1600) this gets really bad. The devs should allow the game to use all avaible cores or threads to overcome these sad situations.
