BUG: I've been playing BF3 since October 2011 release. But recently I've been experiencing BF3 lag stutter spikes since January 2013. My ping and FPS are consistent and fine. But BF3 has lag spikes that cause a stutter every second--which makes the game very bad to play. You can clearly see this problem on flying jets--where they stutter in the air as they're flying. I don't have this problem with any other online games on my system. So this is the fault of BF3. End Game DLC is coming out soon and I want to be able to play without this problem. Can this be fixed?
BF3 Premium
US servers (West Coast)
EVGA GEFORCE GTX 660 TI (tested several final drivers)
Windows 7 x64 SP1

I'm the original poster of this topic and I found the fix to my problem.
I found out that an overheating CPU can cause very bad stuttering. I fixed it by dusting my heatsinks with compressed air. You can also try increasing the CPU fan speed in your BIOS. If you have a similar problem, you should try it.
