or maybe an option to install the map cache even though it will increase the install size a bit , im pretty sure we would prefer that over stuttering and cpu spikes madness.
Hello, I installed Battlefront II 3 days ago, and like many players I had the mentioned FPS drops in multiplayer and campaign which made the game unplayable; also the campaign cinematics and match introductions in multiplayer were stuttering like hell. After searching on all the related forums and trying all sorts of fixes (disabling shader cache in Nvidia control panel, deleting shader files in Nvidia shader folder manually, enabling DX 12 to get the precompiled shaders added with the latest Battlefront patch to run every time I start the game, disabling DX12 since it causes many issues etc. ) for the shader cache related issue which has plagued the game since the last jedi update (as far as I managed to understand from the overwhelming complaints on all the threads in the aforementioned forums), I almost gave up on trying to make the game playable. Until today, the new Nvidia Driver 411.63 solved my problem. After installing it I can now play the game in multiplayer and campaign with almost no hiccups in DX 11, since DX 12 still has the same issues even with the help of the precompiled shaders added in the 2.0 Battlefront II patch. More, the loading times which were huge even without the "optimizing shaders" part while running in DX 12 are now decent. Also I noticed that the game no longer saves shaders in the NV_Cache folder like it used to while running on the previous 2 drivers I tested (an older driver and the one previously released before 411.63) while trying to make Bfront II to work. I run the game on Ultra settings with stable smooth 60 FPS (I have v-sync turned on since my monitor's refresh rate is 60 Hz) most of the times with a few spikes now and then, but totally playable. My computer is an I5 4690k with a Geforce 970 Gtx and 8 Gbytes of system RAM but the game should work with no problems on older systems if you lower the settings. Hope it helps all of you since no other fixes were good for me before installing this driver.
