Battlefront 2 is lagging

Hi,

Star Wars battlefront2 is freezing and lagging when playing in indoor environments. By default my settings are high, it is not a internet lagging problem because when I turn lower my resolution, it's running properly. I run the game in direct x 11 (it's weird because I don't have the option to turn on or off direct x 12 in the video settings, it's maybe because I have an ATI Radeon so I checked in the boot file in my documents).

My PC should run this game smoothly, is there an setting that could make my game like this? I already turned off blur. The resolution is at 100%, I need to turn it down 50% in order for the game to run normally (friends with inferior gear run the game with higher resolution on my internet connection) It's not normal, again,  it's not my pc's problem, it runs other more demanding games without any issues.

thanks for the help

    Hello @KaKa5h1,

    Merry Christmas!

    Here are a few technical issues regarding Lag/Stuttering in-game:

    Personal Preferences

    * Incorrect Resolution of your monitor

    NOTE: If you have dual GPUS, and you’re using DirectX 12, we recommend switching back to DirectX 11 until we have a fix for the performance issues.
    We’ll update here when you’re good to switch back to DirectX 12 again.

      Question: I’m using AMD Eyefinity and I’m getting a black screen

    EA's Answer: We’ve had reports of some performance issues with Eyefinity in Star Wars Battlefront II, and we’re working on resolving them. In the meantime, we’d advise against using Eyefinity when you play. We’ll update here as soon as we have a workaround or a fix for you.

      Question: I’m using an AMD graphics card with the latest drivers, and Lightsabers are invisible. How can I fix this?

    EA's Answer: This is a graphical bug, and we’re working on it. We’ll let you know when it’s fixed.

    * Full-screen mode (Try to go into Windowed/Border-less mode to see if this is may increase any issues)

    Here’s how:

    1. In-game, go to the Home screen.
    2. Click Options, then Video.
    3. Scroll to Full-screen mode and toggle the switch to Border-less.
    4. No restart is needed for this option.

    * Other application's are open on your system, (mind you, if you use google chrome, it takes up a lot of memory if multiple tabs are open at once)

    Here’s how:

    Use the Ctrl + Shift + Esc keyboard shortcut out of game to open your Task manager and force close applications you are not using at the time.

    * Outdated Graphics Drivers 

    * Certain maps

    This... Yes, frown apon this one. Some maps are known still to cause game-play performance issues. If you find yourself lagging on the following: Crait, Yavin 4 & Kashyyyk (Correct me if I'm missing any), If these are the maps you find yourself lagging/stuttering in, Do not curse at the specs you have.

    Again, these are my personal issues that I have ran into, if you these do not help you try enabling vSync, if you don't know what it is Short for it takes for Vertical SyncVsync is a display option found in some 3-D computer games that allow the gamer to synchronize the frame rate of the game with the monitor refresh rate for better stability and little to know stuttering. 

    If this also doesn't help resolve your issue, please follow EA's official guide to help you:
