Battlefield 1 Ryzen sudden stuttering
Hi, I've got a problem with Battlefield 1 that's driving me mad. I've already contacted multiple times EA customer care with no success... It all started less than two months ago, when I upgraded my...

@Soldaatkevin1 The rollback to windows 10 anniversary update was not successful...the problem is still there. After an hour of gaming the stutter occured again. I even tried to switch the PSU and used another Corsair HX620W...still same problem. God, this issue is driving me mad...
I really have no clue on what it may be related to. The only components that I've not already switched are the SSD on which the OS and the game itself are installed, the brand new RAM and the brand new CPU.
But I think that, should one of those components be the cause, I should have many problems event on the normal use of the desktop...
sorry to hear that i will search farther for you and let you know if it is fixed

@Soldaatkevin1 Update: yesterday I have tried with a friend's nVidia GTX 970. Played the game for about 2 hours without any issue. Around the same fps of my 290 but without the one-in-an-hour bad stuttering with gpu usage drops. At this point I think this is a bug in either the game running with amd gpu or in the amd driver code.
I'll now try using an older amd driver, like the january or february one, just to see if changes something.
It would be awesome if someone from EA could at least read the thread to acknowledge the issue.

nice to hear that the problem is away with the 970 its really strange that amd gpu drivers or bf1 game code is doing this

Tried with Febraury drivers from AMD, version 17.2.1. The problem is still there but noticeably better: the stuttering lasted for about 2-3 seconds instead of 10 and happened after more than 1 hour of flawless gaming.
Did you try disabling SMT in the BIOS? I was getting huge stutters and it was practically gone after I turned it off. I know some people say to keep it on, but I'm not gonna deal with massive stutters just for some virtual cores. It also made other games much smoother.

SMT was working just fine. It was a Windows 10 process called "Startup Optimization" (I'm translating from italian so the real english name could be different). Finally I was able to notice that, when the problem occured, this process was always using heavy the cpu...once every hour. So I've disabled the process and the problem never happened again.
I think it is a bug with either the Microsoft process and/or Battlefield itself with Ryzen.
