FPS Drops and Stuttering After Latest Update

Hello EA/DICE team,

I am reporting a serious performance issue that started after the latest Battlefield update.

I used AI only to help me write and organize this report clearly, but the issue is real. This performance problem is happening to me and to some of my friends after the update, and it is making the game very frustrating to play.

The problem is not limited to one map. It happens on all maps, and more than one of my friends is experiencing the same issue after the update. This makes it look like a general performance regression, not an isolated hardware problem.

Before this update, the game was much more stable. After the patch, the game started having unstable FPS, frametime spikes, and noticeable stuttering across different maps and modes.

My system:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600

GPU: RX 6650 XT

RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16, dual channel

Storage: SSD

Monitor: 100Hz with VRR enabled

The issue:

- FPS is unstable on all maps.

- The game has noticeable stuttering and micro-stutters.

- Frametime feels worse even when the FPS counter looks acceptable.

- The issue happens in multiple modes, especially larger modes like Conquest and Breakthrough.

- Lowering graphics settings does not fully fix the problem.

- Changing from high settings to low settings does not give enough improvement.

- The same issue is happening to some of my friends after the same update.

What I already tried:

- Updated GPU drivers

- Updated Windows

- Tested different graphics presets

- Tested low settings

- Tested TAA/native resolution

- Tested FSR and XeSS

- Cleared shader cache

- Closed background apps such as Discord

- Tested FPS caps

- Checked VRR

- Tested different maps and modes

This does not feel like a normal hardware limitation. My PC runs other games normally, and Battlefield itself was smoother before the latest update. Since the issue happens on all maps and also affects other players I know, it looks like something changed in the game’s performance, CPU optimization, shader behavior, frametime stability, or server/game engine performance after the patch.

Please investigate this as a performance regression after the latest update. Please do not treat this only as an individual PC problem.

Thank you.
