The CPU usage is abnormally high all the time.

The CPU usage is always at 90%~100% when I'm playing BF2042, while the GPU usage is not that high. Thus, the overall frame rate is very low, and the game is quite laggy that it's not playable. I've...

@Rokebo73With those applied, the CPU usage is no longer at 100% in the starting menu.

However, once I'm in an actual game it goes all the way back to 100% as always. It sometimes drops to between 97-98%

but... That doesn't really make a difference. I'm still getting 30 to 45 FPS. x_x

Use notepad to make a file with the name User.cfg
Enter those lines in it and save it  !!
 
Thread.ProcessorCount 4
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
 
In this file you see the number 4 , thats for a quad core cpu, if ya got more cores enter the correct number at the first 2 lines
In the cfg file you need to set the ammount of real cores!
so if ya got 8 cores , and with VM enable 16  , then you can only fill in the ammount of 8
Maximum number of cores you can set is 17
 
Make sure your BF2042.exe and BF2042_launcher.exe, both need to be started as ADMIN ! 
Right click at it, select PROPERTIES, COMPATIBL:ITY ,and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

    Now, I get 45 ~ 52 FPS. It's still bad, but surely better than 25 ~ 30FPS.

    On the device manager, I had two of 'AMD SATA Controller' under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller category.

    I'm certain it's an outdated driver for old CPUs, so I switched them to 'Standard SATA AHCI Controller'.

    Also, I closed my anti-virus program as well as drivers that are not needed for the game.

    Should I be happy that I get 45 FPS rather than 25FPS? I dunno...
