I have had this problem since the beta and have been trying a lot of different settings in windows, graphics and on the monitor itself. It has been driving me nuts with stutters, lag and frame drops when, at the same time, I was getting descent framerates at around 100 with high/ultra settings. Cpu usage was constantly at 100% and gpu about 70-80% no matter what settings i used. I have a r7 5800x and rx 6950 xt. I have also registerd that the game was routing me through santiago servers, even though I am located in Scandinavia.
I think I have managed to solved the issue after seeing a post about kernel level anti cheat turning off xmp profile. I switched this back on and also followed this "trick" making a user config file to help the cpu usage down. Link down at the bottom. Now the game runs very smooth and cpu usage is down at 60-75%. I still get the latency issue symbol but at least the experience has been great over multiple games now. This including the biggest maps.
Hope this can be of help guys!

user.cfg changes don't "fix" anything. It sabotages the game's ability to use the CPU to make it run worse. It kills your 1% and 0.1% lows.
Don't use it.

I understand this user.cfg thing is controversial and that many say its placebo and that it doesn't work. But I have also seen a lot of people stating it has worked for them and that it has been a thing for a long time and in several other battlefield games. I am no expert, but it seems to also work for me.
I tried the config file once before I got aware that my xmp profile was turned off. That time it absolutely made the gameplay worse with more stutters and lag.
But after turning xpm back on, a user.cfg has made my cpu usage go down. The gameplay experience is now very smooth. It could very well be just the xmp, and that the config file just makes the graph in adrenaline look better, but something worked.
I think its worth at looking into

Big_BananaPhone some system, like mine, doesn't have xmp, sadly. I had also enabled the hidden advance menu to find it, but it wasn't there. As it turn out, my laptop doesn't have xmp (Lenovo LOQ 15iax9). The user.cfg only helped reduce the CPU usage, while tanked the FPS. My only solution till now is overclocked CPU and GPU. It did reduced CPU usage from 100% to around 90%, sometimes even lower.
