Stuck at 3 FPS on startup and stays persistent

Recently I haven't been able to play due to SUPER low framerate of 3 fps as soon as I start up the game. It doesn't fix itself over time and I'm left being unable to play. I've tried to repair and check for any updates on drivers of any sort. However, to no avail, the game is still stuck at 3 fps. I've been trying to find help for this issue, but it seems nobody else has been having it.

    Hi, sorry for the long wait, been busy with working and sickness, but I decided to give the game a shot to see if maybe it would happen again since ive been not on for a week and I guess its stopped doing that? Not sure if it was just a bug that got patched or something, but my game is running fine again I guess

  • @Crow04111 post a dxdiag please !
    Nad do those checks and test in advance and update us please:

    First update youre system drivers.
    Try this:
    SYSTEM DRIVERS AND CHIPSET UPDATE

    Check the Youtube movie how to install , download and update ALL drivers.
    https://youtu.be/6UpzenfVOAA
    Open the web browser and enter url: https:\\www.drivereasy.com
    Click at Driver Update Tool in the upper bar and select Download Free Version.
    Click at the green button with the text DOWNLOAD DRIVER EASY NOW.
    When tool is downloaded select the file and run.
    Install Driver Easy Tool.

    Some drivers updates need to reboot your system, reboot system when needed,
    continue using Driver Easy untill 'ALL' drivers are updated.
    This free version allows only 1 download and 1 update at once.
    Reboot your system

    Now lets do a windows healty check also:
    SFC - Windows Health Check

    Press Windows key + 'R' ,typ CMD
    Press and hold down CTRL + SHIFT and press ENTER.
    When User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
    Use the following command lines, pressing Enter after each
    (make sure you wait till each of the commands is executed properly):

    sfc /scannow
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    Reboot your system

    Now to make sure any other software/program is causing any issues with bf2042,
    you need to do a real cleanboot:
    Cleanboot / Msconfig

    reboot pc by a clean boot:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-...
    Hide all Microsoft services, DISABLE (uncheck) ALL other processes, apps and services !

    Cleanboot is just a one time clean boot ! Next reboot all will be reset and a normal boot will be occure.
    Use msconfig to disable apps permanent each for new reboot.
    DISABLE ALL other processes, apps and services from booting with windows, check instructions below:
    Use the keyboard shortcut “Windows Key + R” and the “Run” window will open.
    In the text box, typ MSCONFIG and press Enter or OK and the MsConfig window will open".
    Select the tab STARTUP (select OPEN TASK MANAGER), and disable apps/programs by right click at them!
    Those disabled apps will no longer boot with Windows , till ya set them enabled again !

    Now test game and update us please !
    Cheers
  • Hi, thank you for the response. Here is the DxDiag that you asked for and I ran through all the steps you provided. However, the problem is still happening. The game starts up running at over 300 fps for a couple seconds before rapidly declining to 3 fps and staying that slow the entire time.
