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.
