Windows 11 September update 22H2 -substantial FPS drop
The 09/20/2022 update for Windows 11 was just pushed out and I just installed it. This has caused substantial FPS drop and GPU voltage is also substantially less.
I have reverted back to the last build and voila, everything is smooth as butter again.
Troubleshooting steps to identify root cause as Windows 11 September update:
1) Removed BF2042 entirely and reinstalled. Issue remained
2) Updated RTX 3090 drivers to latest, issue remained.
3) Reverted to last version of RTX 3090 drivers, issue remained.
4) This issue is NOT present in other games (Hitman + BF4, etc).
Conclusion: This must be a Windows 11 09/2022 update + BF 2042 problem. Please investigate.
