Re: Time Nudge still a thing

@ATFGunr, gotcha, cheers for the extra info. In that case I also have the feeling it is related to the same potential cause of this topic: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Heavy-Mouse-Input-Latency-since-latest-Patch-rare-before-that/td-p/12072244.

Just to confirm a couple of things; before the Season 3/3.1 Update, you did not have a high TN?

@EA_Leeuw I’m going to check out that thread and the solution it offers, thanks. I didn’t turn on the network bar prior to 3.1, however from how it feels when the TN spikes I can say I did not have it before 3.1. I did have a 1070 overclocked with Afterburner to wring every last fps out of it, averaged 60fps but had drops. It was a different feeling of lag, when you’d see the frames drop to 53 and it would be laggy for a bit. Smoke, explosions, high player counts all contributed IMO. With high TN spikes I get no drop in frames (now pulling 110 with new card), just a slowing down of the game & a lot of judder.

@EA_Leeuw Some updates if the feedback helps:

Using resource manager and Task Manager, observed the network and what was using it. Origin was a major user (so was LGHub software, yikes). Turned Origin off, spikes in network stopped. So installed EA App. It was using 1.9% CPU and .1mbs network. 2042 would use 90% plus CPU, jumping up to 92-94. Same for GPU. Played for two hours, with spikes in TN upwards of 400. BW out was also in the hundreds? Network did not spike at all. TN came in waves. TN did not correspond to spikes in CPU or GPU usage. Reset Nvidia settings to default, only turning Prefer Max Performance back on. That helped reduce CPU and GPU load by about 5%. Still getting 110fps, which also does not change during TN.

When I had a 1070, the 5800x never exceeded 35% load and I still had massive TN spikes post 3.1. With the 3060ti in, it’s using more of the CPU of course. When GPU first installed, it was only 60% of the CPU. After a week, it’s up to 92%. With other background programs running (services, icue, EA app etc all using .1 up to 1%) the load on the cpu would touch into 99%. Tried Fallen Jedi for an hour, 45% CPU and 60% GPU usage. Will try V today to see what usage that does.

@ATFGunr, thanks for the info!
