Hi @AssassinXDAhmed, Battlefield 2042 is very CPU intensive game and most likely would be why your CPU is going on 100%.

kay. I see... Will be there any fix for this? Cuz I can't get any near 60FPS in 128 player mode.

Plus will it support DirectStorage in the near future? If it will, this will help me a lot.

Thanks for a useless answer to real issues we are all having. What is a way that actually works to not put our CPU's in overdrive and burn them up???? This game has been a disgrace to the BF franchise since you jackasses put it out. 

so why doesn't the GPU take on some of the burden?

i have fixed on my cpu Ryzen 3700x 8C/16T with this user.cfg

Thread.ProcessorCount 8
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 16

You are slightly wrong there.
It is not the game that is CPU heavy but the players are the problem.
128 players in total creates more weight for the cpu than what the game does.

Let me explain, READ CAREFULLY and you will understand what the problem is here.
I noticed this after my tests.

11th gen i5 11600k so the following.
*128 players in a match on different maps = CPU usage goes to 90% - 100% (Players, are largely the problem with teams, the more players the more the cpu has to work simultaneously with the game and all details simultaneously with GPU and fps )
*64 players in a match on different maps = CPU goes to 80% - 95% (Almost the same but not good enough, same error there with players)'
*32 players in a match on different maps = 70% to 95%, not as heavy as the first two with 128 and 64 players. (not good enough)
*16 players in a match on different maps = 65% - 90% usage, better than the first 3 with 32/64/128)

If I go to Chivary 2 with 64 players in a match, cpu usage is around 40% 50%, that's good and that's how it should be.

Remember this, 128 players creates more cpu load than 16 players.
There you have the fault with the game.

that the cpu goes through the roof is because dice has really messed up this time.

100% usage is not the problem but the heat. if my cpu breaks, YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!

so STOP with that kind of *.
Bf2042 has cpu problems.

Fix problems instead of gagagaga talk

Bf2042 is a very cpu intensive game !
If ya got a lot background apps anmd windows processes/services running, ya CPU need to do a lot of work!
This will bring CPU to 100% , check all cores for exact % at each core !

A cleanboot will kill most programs and processes so CPU will not need to work that "hard".

More CPU % in use , more heat is produced also and that could throttle down CPU Mhz  to lower HEAT !

A good airflow is a MUST , als good cool equipment , fan + block , and make sure fans and cool alu. blocks are clean , no dust !

Ya could strip down windows by disabling (permanent/temporarly)  windows processes/services  and hardware.

Check this link https://www.thewindowsclub.com/which-windows-10-services-safe-to-disable
Google for services that are safe to disable, you will find about 25 a 30 ya could disable by youre self !

Also  https://atlasos.net/  could be used, it will strip down windows completely.
This will kill / disable most apss and services that comes with windows.
Be aware , windows update , paint and almost every app (and bloatware) cant be used anymore and is uninstalled/deleted.

But it will improve system performance, instead of +70 services/processes who normally run in the background, atlosos reduce it to about 36 services/processes in the background !

Read tha instruction first , if ya use atlosos , ya just need 2 files and bout 15 a 30 minutes time to get a very light windows !
Make sure all drivers in windows and hardware are all uptodate first !!!!!

Cheers
