Re: Cache folder stuttering

Just like in the title - I had to debug some problems that I had and found out that clearing cache completly fixes my stuttering issues with this game:

  1. empty bf2042 cache folder in 'my documents'
  2. clear cache in radeon settings
  3. clear origin cache
  4. restart the pc

Following these steps will allow me to play the game without any kind of stuttering (even on 128ppl maps in crowded areas with tons of explosions), but just after restarting the game it begins to terribly stutter - so bad that I would rage quit and uninstall the game (happened a few times since launch).

I tried it 3 times in a row and it works every time - just like restarting the game (kinda)works every time.

Does anyone has the same problem / solution?

Hopefully this post will lead to a better gaming experience for everyone (once they fix the issue).

My main specs:

  • I5-12600K (overclocked to 5.0GHz flat, E-cores off)
  • RX 6600XT (slightly overclocked)
  • 4x8GB=32GB 2933MHz RAM (wasn't stable at declared 3200MHz)
  • computer is stable in 99.9% of games and aplications - crashes from time to time, ONLY in Battlefield 5 and Battlefield 2042

  • I have the stutter issues as well...

    I5-12600K
    3080 OC
    32G ram 3600Mhz
    Samsung 850 SSD
    MOBO Z-690 pro A
    Corsair PSU HM750X

    After work i will try your suggestions. I tried clearing cache from the BF folder, but the stutter came back after a couple of minutes (did not restart my pc tho). The weird thing is, the first 5 minutes of playing are always buttery smooth, after that the stutter begins (also a bit of FPS drop). Temps of my GPU / CPU are fine. CPU around 63 ish, GPU around 70 ish..

    Things i tried:
    Reinstalling BF2042
    Reverse NVIDIA drivers
    Restart router
    Clear cache
    Change RAM speeds
    Underclock GPU
    Disable overlays
    Update windows
    Enable XMP
    Enhanced mouse pointer (on and off)
    Adjust polling rate speed
    Tried different power plans (balanced/high/ultra perfomance)
    Enabled DX12 in documents
    Run as administrator
    Probably a lote more things i tried, cant even remember..

    Such a shame... i actually enjoy BF2042, but the stutter makes it so less enjoyable..

    good morning
    I solved my problem by installing the AMD recommended drivers.
    Clean driver installation
    Driver deletion with DDU

    Buongiorno......
    Il cambio dei driver non ha risolto il problema.
    Per non avere stuttering devo cancellare la cache

    Good morning......
    Changing the drivers did not solve the problem.
    In order not to have stuttering I have to clear the cache
