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, ...
Forum Discussion
Hey, thanks for putting all this together, this actually describes exactly what I’m seeing.
Players randomly teleport around me, and it looks like packet loss at first, but after reading the post, it really sounds like a Time Nudge issue. I recorded a short clip showing what it looks like on my end: https://youtu.be/5-2TjbwhULg?si=bqM0UWqmx0W2mS2P
As you can see, my ping is below 10 ms, but the gameplay feels like I’m on 100 ms; everything just desyncs randomly. Do you think this could also be Time Nudge spikes?
Would appreciate any tips.. it’s making the game pretty much unplayable right now.
MrNefOrigin the low framerate icon is in the top left corner of your video.
The low framerate is causing time nudge (TN) to spike. The low framerate is causing network lag.

Two screenshots will help us troubleshoot the low framerate issue.
Please post a screenshot with the FPS Performance Overlay on-screen. Set it to Advanced.

Also download HWiNFO and post a screenshot of your System Summary.
Hey, thanks for the message!
Here’s the gameplay screenshot.
I’m running the game at consistently high FPS (110+). Frame Generation is enabled, and I’m playing in 4K with high settings on a 120 Hz monitor.
If there’s any setting I could tweak to fix this issue, I’d really appreciate it.
Here’s the hardware screenshot as well.
If my CPU is the limiting factor, that would be unfortunate, but then I’ll have to replace it. I really hope the RTX 5080 isn’t the bottleneck here; it’s pretty new, but if it can’t handle 4K 120 Hz in this game, then that’s just how it is.MrNefOrigin thank you for posting the screenshots, they are very helpful.
HWiNFO shows the memory running at 1067MHz 15-15-15-36-50 instead of an overclocked EXPO/XMP speed of 1800MHz 19-20-20-40-60.
Enabling EXPO/XMP in motherboard BIOS settings should fix this. The memory should be running at 3600MHz in BIOS settings.
This should boost CPU performance and get rid of the low framerate icon in the top left corner of the screen.
The reason the icon is showing up is due to the CPU framerate dropping below 60fps. We can see what the CPU framerate is by looking at simulation (SIM) in the top right corner of the screen.
SIM's framerate is 51fps which is causing the low framerate icon. Having a SIM framerate below 60fps also causes time nudge (TN) to spike which causes network lag as well.
Hopefully enabling EXPO/XMP memory overclocking will boost CPU/SIM performance above 60fps and fix everything.
Are you running a custom user.cfg? If so try disabling it and see if that helps improve SIM framerate.
Hey OskooI_007 , thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
You were absolutely correct: my RAM was running at default JEDEC speeds (2133 MHz) instead of the XMP/EXPO profile.After enabling A-XMP in the BIOS, my memory is now running at 3600 MHz, and the difference is massive.
My SIM framerate immediately jumped to a stable 60 FPS, the low framerate icon disappeared, and the Time Nudge spikes are gone. The game finally feels consistent.I also removed my user.cfg, since those thread settings were probably limiting the engine instead of helping.
So yeah, enabling EXPO/XMP fully solved it. Really appreciate your help! You are truly a legend :)
