Re: Game randomly freezes and goes back to normal.

Delete bf2042 / ea and d3d cache.
Bf2042 cache will rebuild during game, it will take +2gb space at youre drive.
Make sure ya got enough free space at your drive (+50gb at least for windows/games ect ect for virtual mem.)
Also be sure ya drive is fast enough, the "old mechanical drives HDD" can be to slow during loading cache.
Beaware , BF2042 is using drive ALL THE TIME to load/save those caches during gaming.

Cheers

ps make sure cpu/gpu/mem got enough airflow , to cool it.

Alse SSD / NVME drive can get warm/hot and this will bring read/write spead also down.

Some NVME work better with heat sinks on them.
Also make sure firmware from SSD/NVME drives are uptodate !

Where is the EA and the d3d cache located? I've got a pretty new pc and don't have overheating issues on any other games but I'll try to monitor Temps

ps make sure ya gpu got enough cooling, check if ya need to clean fans and alu.. block, so air can go true it to cool down GPU.
Sometimes repaste your GPU could also help, ya need to disamble it <-- handy for a big cleaning also !
