BF6 Hitting 100% CPU Usage Causing Lag/Stutter/Latency/Slo-Mo Issues

I play on PC, bought the phantom edition on steam for BF6 and played the beta. In the Beta, my game was genuinely unplayable. the constant frame drops and audio tearing made me try everything I could...

Update: Enabled A-XMP in bios, seems to have fixed the issue but I only loaded onto a conquest briefly. Will update later tonight.

 

Just finished playing my first few matches and the packet loss and lag is insane, GPU is barely breaking 75% but my CPU is between 85 and 100 the whole game. Frames aren’t an issue but packet loss and connectivity due to CPU stress is killing me. Is anyone else experiencing anything similar? Does anyone have a solution? 

It’s almost unplayable and gets worse on bigger maps with more people. I’d like to think it’s not my internet as I play every other game just fine.

Some of the CPU cores might be maxing out at 100% usage. To check if there are any CPU cores hitting 100% usage, open the Windows Task Manager CPU graph.

  • Run the game in windowed mode (alt + enter)
  • Open Task Manager (alt + ctrl + del)
  • Open the Performance tab, then right-click on the CPU graph and choose "Change graph to > Logical processors".
  • Set Task Manager to 'always on top' by clicking option
     
    Now you can play the game and monitor per core CPU usage. If any CPU core hits 100% usage the game will stutter and cause network lag.
