BFV - Periodic FPS drop issue

Hiya, I have been enjoying this game a lot but I am having an issue with huge fps drop spikes. I am running the game on a Dell Inspiron 15 7577, it has a GTX 1060 Max-Q, Intel i7-7700 CPU, 16gb of RAM with 6gb of dedicated video RAM, which fits both the minimal and recommended specifications for this game. Since playing I have capped my fps ingame to 60fps as that is the refresh rate of my monitor and for the most part it stays there, however every couple of minutes now my frames will drop to around 8-15fps and stay there for around 10-20seconds causing unplayable visual lag for this period.

In this period in addition to the fps drop my character seems to slow down in game relative to the other players, getting me killed a decent amount. I have been tracking CPU and GPU usage to see if there is a bottleneck issue and sometimes when I have the fps drop my CPU usage will be 98% or above. Other times it is between 80%-90% but the lag still happens, while the GPU isn't close to maxed out. This leads me to believe its the CPU but why if it says it can run it on minimum and recommended settings for this game.

I have been running all settings on the lowest but the issue persists. I have tried with DX11 and DX12 and there seems to be no difference in the frequency of the fps drops, currently am I continuing on DX11. Other settings such as future frame rendering are enabled. I have experienced this issue on all maps as well as in the post battle screen, it also happens in practice mode leading me to believe it is a hardware issue and not network? If anything with recent updates I experience this issue with even greater frequency and it is almost never longer than 2 minutes now before it happens.

Has anyone one else experienced or heard of this issue and knows a possible fix. I have been running with all background processes closed apart from the game and origin, to try and reduce CPU load if that is the issue, although I don't see why it would be as it should be more than capable to run it. I am at an impasse now the game is no longer playable for me in this state so any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Jason.

    Hi,

    I deinstalled Geforce Experience and did a reboot. No changes, still freezing as before.

    Cheers,

    @Mischan69 Ok off chance but it could be the problem ...

    C:\Users\your PC Name\Documents\Battlefield V

    BFV folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BFV is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BFV it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.

    1- Go to my Documents and remove BFV folder place it on your Desktop for now.
    2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
    3-Repair BFV ..Note if Origin goes into a endless loop of finalizing the game then close origin. Set origin to compatibility mode win8 open origin let it do its thing on BFV when its done then close origin again and remove Compatibility mode on origin and open it back up again lol. Small trick I found on win 10 lol
    4- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BFV.

    Hi,

    I removed the BFV folder and tried it. No change, still freezing/lagging as before. I also installed Windows Update 1903, also no change. Still unplayable! Very disappointing.

    Cheers,
