Battlefield 6 constant stutter/frame lag/ pinned 100% CPU usage

Hello everyone,

I’m having an issue with stuttering and sudden FPS drops in Battlefield. A friend of mine and I have identical PC setups we even bought them together just before the Battlefield 6 release.

The strange part is: he can play perfectly fine, while I’m getting constant FPS drops.

The only difference between our setups is that I’m using two monitors (both via DisplayPort), while he’s using just one.

I’m running the game at 1440p like he does, but I can’t play in fullscreen mode if I do, my FPS tank completely.

I have to switch to borderless windowed mode to make the game even remotely playable.

This all started after my PC went into sleep mode while the game was still running.

When I woke it up, the whole system froze for several minutes before recovering.

Since then, the FPS drops happen randomly it can go from 170 FPS down to 4 FPS for a split second before jumping back up. It’s incredibly annoying in a fast-paced game.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

Reinstalled Battlefield completely

Reinstalled GPU drivers using DDU in Windows Safe Mode

Checked temps, background tasks, etc.

Nothing has helped so far.

If anyone has ideas or has run into something similar, I’d really appreciate your input.

Thanks in advance!

Having the issue and this did not help me.

I had this same issue yesterday, and finally had success by adding a user.cfg file to the BF6 game folder with the below, according to this Reddit thread, hope this helps! https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1mjy24a/the_beta_has_a_huge_100_cpu_utilization_problem/

Thread.ProcessorCount 4

Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4

Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0

Thread.JobThreadPriority 0

GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8

I have been struggling with this too. No fixes found yet. Constant 100% usage and overheating. I have never seen anything like this.

So I have a 5090 and a 9800x3d, my cpu usage is 100% and my cpu temp is 80c even with every case fan on maximum, the only time my cpu ever hits 80c normally is during shader compilation in games so this is definitely not normal.

I am getting great FPS though, about 200fps at 4K Ultra with DLSS on performance and frame gen turned off.

UHs are terribly useless in combat, it's a matter of airdrops at. In Vietnam they acted as brutal support for ground troops, but here? Heavy machine guns are something like a complete joke for enemy units, they can even dance like Michael Jackson under fire and everyone will look like theyre doing a moon walk. You can't do anything with this heli. Heavy machine guns should be the most brutal weapon against ground troops, jeeps. But the deed has escaped Its frkn useless agaist everithing, like I just wanna ask its on purpose? cant create ma own fakin post

Same issue on Asus g16 4080 intel ultra core 9 185h 32gb ram 1600p. Cant figure out a solution, tried the user.cfg, overlay, disabling different amounts of E cores

SAME
