Black screen flashing. Cooler fans screaming while playing.

In Origin, click on the Origin menu, Application Settings, Origin in-game, there is an option to Display FPS Counter, select one of the options to display that and then monitor that number when you see the issue. Is it getting really high, like 250 or mega high, like 4000+?

Are you running the most recent video drivers?

This procedure showed the issue: fps skyrockets to 2000 + on transition screens, such as the BF2 logo or loading screens. then, on menu it stays around 130 fps. I would like to cap the FPS, I tried the “gametime.maxvariablefps 61” (without quotation marks), to no avail.

FPS capping would probably solve the problem. How to do it?

@Mallunoth

There are third party GPU monitoring/overclocking apps that can limit framerates.

Try MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision.

i has the same problem, i hope this helps you.
i download RivaTunerStatisticServer, that set FPS for all games in my case i set in 144 fps, because in loading screen for a match (multiplayer or arcade) my fpscounter show me, +3000 fps, then i has a blackscreen and i get a hard pc restart.

So download RivaTurnerStaticServer and set a global limit fps (are a lot of tutorial in youtube, isn't difficult), always open this program before play swb2.

i hope help you!

Thank you Barry and JhuLiiTho for the responses.

EA_Barry: while I appreciate the attention and help, it is kinda baffling such problem to go live for the official Launch, as I should not have to use a 3rd party program to prevent the risk of hardware damage caused by ludicrous 3000+ FPS. Yes, I got that high sometimes.

The average user doesn't even read the forums, better EA fix this ASAP as this is a gross mistake, and it can have serious consequences.

Tried the MSI Afterburner FPS limiter, now the loading screens take forever. Good Job EA, good job...
