Performance Issues (Random lag spikes)

Hi Xenimus try this set of settings please 😕mileyhappy: Then test BF4 and post back and let me know how it is.

Run the game as Administrator:
Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.

Run Origin as Administrator:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.

Disable Origin in game:
In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game

Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
Origin, settings, General

Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit
1- open origin and go to My Games
2-Right click BF4 and go to Game Properties
3-Under when launching this game set it to x64 and check off disable origin in game.
4- Hit apply and test you BF4

Another thing that may be worth trying: run a Clean Boot: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/
This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.

I did all that you told me to, but unfortunately I am still getting these bad lag spikes. Thanks for your help so far 🙂

Your very welcome happy to try and help you 😕mileyhappy: So due to your PC specs and only have 4 gig ram I would test BF4 out on low settings to see if it helps make it more smooth 😕mileyfrustrated:

Edit .... I am blind just seen this .... I went into geforce experience and added Battlefield 4 to my games list, then I clicked on optimize. No evil program do your own settings never allow a program to do it this alone could make the issue. I will not even allow geforce experience on my game box yes I hate it this much.😕mileylol:

Also take a good hard look at programs and aps you have on when in BF4 turn them OFF in task manager what ever you can and test BF4. Some programs make mega issues in BF4 I have a small list below but I am sure more will be added to it in time...

Disable Mantle if you have it and try Direct X

Others have said if they uninstall MSI Afterburner issues / crashing is stopped. So if you have this installed remove program and test BF4. Also look at other programs as Fraps, Geforce experience, be sure to turn off the streaming function that is enabled by default ,Raptr, RivaTuner , ASRock eXtreme Tuner, Steam, Skype and xfire are known to make issues as well. And I am sure more programs not in my list yet turn one off at a time and test BF4. Since last patch more programs now give issues :/

Uninstall the HD Audio Driver from the video card driver install add/remove programs. This silly thing makes issues in BF4 for some. Reboot then repair BF4 to be safe.

What do you use to see FPS in game? If its fraps keep it off I can give you information on how to make a cfg to see fps in game if you want it.
