Re: Constant 100% CPU utilization since Season 3 update

Thank you! @Fraginstein  

For players experience the issue we are looking for DxDiag examples from you.

Hi @EA_Atic 

I have now tested without user.cfg.

First I've deleted cache folder, then I have tried one game with 128 players Conquest and one 64 players Breakthrough. Both times my CPU was in 95-100% usage range. My now attached DxDiag is after these two tests.

Since before S3 update i was able to play YT videos on my other screen at same time while playing BF2042. I have ran one more test with having my firefox playing YT video in background at the same time, my CPU usage was 100% and fans are loud as heck.

After all this.

I've enabled user.cfg and again tested with one 128 Conquest and one 64 Breakthrough. Both times i had 75-85% CPU usage. Also for the final test, firefox with YT video playing in background, 77-87%  CPU usage...

It ain't fixed with 3.1 updated. My Win11 is up to date.

I7 11700kf, 3080 and 48 gb here...

Continuosly framedrops with all in low, and EA said that new update solved this, come on EA liars, ridiculous...

How is this possible?? Future updates are going to make it even worse??

This isnt a Battlefield, is a Betafail or a chinese copy.

I buyed every BF game, and buyed this $%#@ day one deluxe version and I reveived %^$#...

Come back to the old days, to the real DICE not this rookies developers.

EA you killed this great saga, no more...

TN goes 1000 + in 64x64 games
TN keeps 20-30 (sometimes 500 for 1-2 seconds) in 32x32 games

Without CFG file (that limits Thread.MaxProcessorCount)  TN goes 1000 + in all games 

yes ☹️

Replying again. Second day of playing after the patch. Tried deleting even some files drom document folder and checking game files. Still have lags and CPU is 100% in 64v64 gamemode

After yesterdays patch i was hoping the cpu load would be fixed, but still it runs high load, temps are still running 72c to 81c  before Season 3 patch it ran 55c 65c  with other  things running on my other screen.. will this be fixed... this extra heat takes away the life of the cpu....... my favorite game in the world and i might have to stop playing if not fixed soon..  

Hey @th3m4r1n3,

We are collecting as many examples as possible. Therefore we have to ask; is your CPU also at a constant 100% usage while playing the game after yesterday's patch? If so, please attach a DxDiag to your post.

Thanks.

@EA_Leeuw
here my dxdiag
- 4 matches small mode, deathmatch, in the menu after fourth, black screen
-no overclocking, deleted cfg file and not deleted cache folder
- high fps 130/150 also above seldom (i7 7700k rtx 2060)
- game was smooth yes, no micro stuttering, very nice experience but cpu every time at 99-100% cause me lag on tasks desktop.

@EA_Leeuw  after update 3.1 i cant play the game anymore 😞

I still have %100 CPU Usage which makes my game freeze with random timings at least for 5 sec after that it becomes normal again but its cancer anyways and also Spearhead map (only Spearhead) is unplayable after 3.1 patch %50 fps loss on that map and for the love of something, please fix this problem before going for christmas vacation or something, before 3.0 everything was butter smooth for me, now almost unplayable because of freezes, here is the dxdiag 

 Update didn't solve the 100% CPU load issue

and if i not share my dxdiag , someone gonna be angry 

Hi everyone,

We would like to ask you to please keep it on-topic.

Any messages that are off-topic or are not (constructively) contributing to the topic will be removed.

DxDiags do not contain any personally identifiable information, but only contain specific information related to the hardware config of- or software on the PC.

hello

i have
razer blade 14 2021
rtx 3080
5900hx
16GB ram

1440p

the game works on 64 players constantly 75-90fps, but when I play on 128 players the game freezes and drops to 35-60fps.
what would be the problem?
is it possible cpu bottleneck?

cpu constantly 96-100 percent

all other games do 100+ fps

thanks for the reply.

Hi guys even after this patch my CPU remains at 100% only on battlefield. Mouse and keyboard input are more responsive. But yah micro stutters or black screens causing issues while playing. I can repost my dxdiag if needed.

Thanks in advance for the bug fix

@MasterCNC, @C1ryon, if your CPU is still at a constant 100% usage after update 3.1.0 went live, and you have played a few rounds, please post a new DxDiag of your system.

@EA_Leeuw 
After the 3.1 update still 100% CPU.
I've reinstalled the game and played for a few rounds but nothing has change.

DxDiag is attached.

Since the last patch (3.1) I've started encountering an issue where battlefield seems to take priority over mouse and keyboard input! 

Performance wise, the game is running super well, and when monitoring the stats with RTSS I'm barely seeing any notably blips on the frametime - but frequently (roughly every 5-10 seconds in more hectic fights) one or two cores will spike and that is usually accompanied by a 1-200ms freeze of input. The input usually 'catches up' after the freeze, but as you can imagine, it makes aiming impossible when it happens. I'm not too concerned about CPU utilisation overall, as the performance is now pretty stellar, but locking out inputs is a fairly severe one, that I didn't have before 3.1.

For the first time today, too, the game started to not load in assets in a round! It was towards the end, so nothing game breaking, and it was kinda fun to see the post game achievement poses being done by pairs of floating eyebrows.

I've attached a dxdiag for y'all!

P.S. After coming back to the game, I'm impressed by the progress and performance! Whilst this issue is annoying since 3.1, I can remedy it a little by using bluetooth mode on my mouse vs. the wireless 2.4GHz - presumably that has less CPU overhead so it is impacted less by whatever this issue is. It still happens, but in a less severe way.

@EA_Leeuw It's not all cores, but when I'm getting the input issue, it's usually cores 1 & 2 that hit 100% for that time. I don't usually see 100% all of the time, though, just during those spikes.
