my spec: gtx1070, i7 6700k, 32 GB RAM, almost zero issues with other games
this is happening mostly in cutscenes (only one time during gameplay)
when playing battlefront 2 trial SP or MP i got stable 60fps and 23-40 % CPU usage. During some SP cutscenes the game goes crazy and CPU usage is around 90-99 % and there are massive fps drops and lags... anyone having same issue?
Wow, made my post quite shortly after you made this one!
Yeah, having exactly the same thing. Wasted an hour of trial time messing with settings but nothing works. Are you on windows 7?
Welp, now we get to sit down and wait then I guess!
Last question, as it's a weird phenomenon which I don't know if it's related: is your RAM usage capped at 8gb max when playing? like the game will try not to go over 8gb total system RAM usage. I have 16 gigs and its weird seeing the game absolutely fail when "loading" stuff yet not going over 8gb ever.
I have 32GB of RAM as well on a i9-7900x at 4.5Ghz with a Radeon Vega 64 liquid cooled card at 2560x1440 Ultra preset. I did turn off the whole scale resolution thing as well because I find the game runs at a good 110fps average most of the time on my system with DX12.
Its weird because like you said it runs very well during normal gameplay, its just all the cut scene transition stuff where it is very jumping and ruins the emersion of the SP story.
Campaign cutscenes actually crash my computer with Windows stop code: WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR
However the multiplayer cutscenes do not cause a crash.
Specs:
OS: Windows 10 w/ Latest updates.
Proc: I7 6700k
Ram: 32gb
Vid Card: Asus GTX 1070 ROG Strix w/ Latest Nvidia 388.31 drivers.
Have utilized Auto, Ultra, High, Med, Low video settings. Makes no difference. Campaign cutscenes crash me. ☹️
So I just stick to Multiplayer now. Utilize Nvidia's "Optimal" settings. Which is all Ultra in BF2. Game looks fantastic and runs smooth aside from the dang Campaign custscenes. *shurgs shoulders*
I had this problem too, nearly unwatchable first cutscene due to lagging/stuttering. I used the console command "RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 3," and turned off the Origin and GeForce Experience overlays, and it's 97% better. Still get hiccups now & then, but almost never gets out of sync, no more than 0.5 second pauses.
Hope this works for you. Found this solution at https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/82088/stuttering-lag-cpu-max-out-please-help

I also used "RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 3":
In-game, open the console (which key that is depends on your keyboard, but probably either tilde (~) or the one next to the number 1 (`)) and type 'RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 3' (without the apostrophes) and press enter.
and it worked for me ( I found this solution here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Battlefront-II-Campaign-Massive-Stutter/td-p/6436981)
