Time Nudge (TN) issue Megathread
Hello! I've been dealing with issues relating to Time Nudge spikes (can manifest either as high lag or "slow-motion") and high consistent Time Nudge since about Battlefield 2042 update #3.0.0, ...

Sixale52 in the screenshot you posted, client frame time (CFT) is 20ms which means the laptop's framerate is 50fps.
1,000ms ÷ 20ms = 50fps
A framerate below 60fps on Official servers is going to cause time nudge (TN) to spike.
You can limit your framerate to 30fps and that should stop time nudge (TN) from spiking. The server will see you have a low framerate and adjust the server tick rate from 60Hz down to 30Hz.
If you'd like me to take a look at your system specs to see if RAM is in dual channel mode. Download HWiNFO and post a screenshot of your 'System Summery'.
Thanks for your time and your reply, i'll try set the framerate at 30fps.
Here is the screenshot with HWINFO
Edit: with the framerate at 30fps time nudge is stable and low
Sixale52 You can try increasing the framerate to 45fps and see if time nudge (TN) is still stable.
HWiNFO shows the laptop memory is in single channel mode which hurts CPU performance. If you buy two 3200MHz RAM sticks the laptop memory would be in dual channel mode. The memory sticks should the same size, speed, and made by the same manufacturer. In other words, identical.
I don't know if dual channel mode will keep the framerate over 60fps. CPU thermal throttling is a common issue with laptops due to the limited room inside them for large CPU coolers.
EA has responded on the lag/latency thread!
I have good news, i bought an other ram of 32go now i'm in dual channel and the game run very much smoother and i can play over 60fps without the time nudge going crazy.
Big thanks to OskooI_007 that man save me from going crazy with my laptop !
Edit: you don't need 64go of ram, in my case if i had bought 2x16go i think it would be fine, i tested with my old ram 2x8go and it made it better but not enough for constant 60fps.
So if you go for 2x16go it should be fine. Be sure you computer support dual channel !
Your comment helped me realized my RAM was heavily underutilized because I had DOCP turned off in my BIOS. I had 32GB (4x8GB) but it was running at 2133 MHz rather than the 4000 MHz it's rated for. I turned DOCP back on and set it to 3600 MHz for stability and haven't had the time nudge issue even once in 6 hours of gameplay on Official servers.
