STUTTERING in Battlefield 5

Dear All,

First, after no problems for 100+ hours of play, this started this early morning, out of the blue.

The game loads awfully late: main menu and server selection, and joining works fine.

BUT when the deploy menu comes up, the game STUTTERS: 3 seconds work, 3 seconds stop, 3 seconds work again. Even nearly impossible to move the cursor. If i manage to deploy, same during the game. It is unplayable.

Let me remind you it was not like that yesterday. (or for months). No hardware change, no new updates. I played last night and woke up to this :)

  • Repaired the game;  Uninstalled and installed again.
  • Reinstalled EA app.
  • Reinstalled and repaired the Cheat add-on.
  • Rolled back Nvidia driver, then updated to the latest one.
  • DX 12 was already closed; checked.
  • Already running as "administrator," checked.
  • Vsync on/off tried.
  • Checked "best performance" options in Windows and Nvidia Center.
  • Game Overlay was already closed, checked.

I don't know what to do more. I like the game and was already playing. :(

Your help is appreciated.

Cheers.

    This is an issue on EA's end, there is nothing wrong with your system, even consoles are affected. 4 months ago they messed something up server-side, the community managers acknowledged the issue initially but then they went into radio silence. There is a discussion about this problem titled "Servers are (almost) unplayable: lag + stuttering | EA Forums - 13223557" (I'd link it but the website gives me an error).

    Fortunately the community did the multi-billion company's job and found a very simple workaround: you must go into the Gameplay options and set "Player-Created Content" to "Hide" (it's the third option from the top).
    For your info, doing this will hide platoon tags, player emblems, and server names. If you make use of Advanced Search, you can always toggle the option when you're in the main menu to make it less confusing to browse for a game.

    Sometimes some servers appear not to "broadcast" player-created content (due to some other years-long EA-side problem), so this could explain why for you the issue appeared to start only now.
