Re: Star Wars Battlefront 2 freezing and stuttering - 2019

Great to hear that you got the issue sorted and thanks for sahring your fix @vooners.

@vooners 

I followed your steps.

My game is now as smooth as new doc Martens, thanks to your post.

Thx a lot.

:D

Just here to say that this is still an issue in 2021..

Had similar performance issues with Fallen Order as well. 

Same here.. but unlike fallen order this one is multiplayer so frame drops and stutter is really a bad thing 

@vooners Thanks for reaching out! It's awesome you are still checking this. Unfortunately yes, I am still having some issues in game, however when I set the application to run as administrator I was launching it from Epic (which launches Origin). When I used the Desktop shortcut that I since created, it seems like the issues presist less but I still have to keep the settings on low. Running on a ryzen 5 2600x, 5700XT, and the game is installed on an M.2 NVME. It's playable now, so thank you.

Hello. I am using the same graphics card as you, on my laptop and I am running the game on my SSD. 

It still gives the the stutter and freezing graphics in singleplayer mode. The program is set to run on administrator for Origin, Epic Games and Battlefront 2. May I know if you directly run the game from the desktop itself, or from Origin? Because when I run it from Origin, it does not request permission to run as administrator like how Origin does when I open it. 

I had freezing issue in the menu before, but it's gone now. Just that in singleplayer mode, it still freezes and stutters. It's really annoying, and the game is unplayable for me. 

I did not have this issue at all in Star Wars: Fallen Order. I have tried every step that you have given, and it still ends up the same result as before. 

I'm also have thi issue I've been getting stuttering and freezing even though I have decent gpu

My specs: gtx 1050 oc

                  Intel i5 9300h

                  Ram 8gb

                   Ssd nvme 512gb

I've tried clean booting delete temporary data and run as administrator but still its stuttering the only way I can play it is by go 900p and it's still stuttering and lagging though not as much as 1080

Hey, so I just got Battlefront II Celebration Edition free from the Epic Games Store. I followed all your steps, but I still experience a ton of stuttering whether on offline or online. When I run Battlefront II does it matter if I run it from the desktop shortcut as Administrator like you said, or can I run it from Origin desktop shortcut that also runs as Administrator. It opens up Epic Games to run and then once it starts, it closes Epic Games. And I also turned off Origin from running on startup in task manager so I make sure to run it was Administrator. At least I think it is...but I don’t know if Epic is interfering.

Here is my laptops info:

Alienware m15 R1

Nvidia GTX 1070

Windows 10

DirectX12 installed but in BootOptions which is in Battlefront 2’s Documents folder, I changed the setting to not let it use DirectX12 and in game too. Thanks

I am having a similar problem. While playing, the game freezes, forcing me to turn off the notebook and turn it back on. My specifications: Avell 1556 MX GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 Mobile i7 7700HQ 2.80Ghz 16GB DDR4 2400Mhz 1 NVMe 480GB SSD (operating system) 1 M.2 SATA 480 GB SSD (games) My processor is getting 94º of temperature and GPU 71º.

It's okay but I've tried all things that this has like clean booting my pc use Nvidia high performance processor and a lot of thing I guess this has to do with epic games launcher  for now I can at 900p at low res

Even it's still has stuttering this feel like Im playing cyberpunk 2077 I hope there is fix to this

Hey,

I have almost same specifications as yours

Intel i5-9300H

8GB RAM

GTX 1050

1TB 5400 RPM HDD

I am using ROG STRIX G531GD- BQ036T

I face the same issue. The settings I am using are optimized by Nvidia Geforce experience(1080P with a mix of medium and high settings). I am usually getting 60+fps but there is this constant stuttering where the FPS drops to 14-28. Even aiming the gun causes it to stutter. It is annoying and completely unplayable. I am still in Campaign mode but have to try multiplayer. I am trying to see if there are any external factors causing this issue. 

How are your CPU/GPU temperatures and usage while playing the game? For me:

CPU: 94C @ 20-50% usage

GPU: 78C @ 80%usage.

Let me know if you find any solutions. I will keep looking too.

Origin runs as administrator when I open from desktop but it opens on startup, which I think is not being run as administrator.

I'm using the graphics card, not the integrated graphics.

I just changed Epic Games to run as administrator so I'm going to follow your original steps and then head into a game and check it out.

Thanks for replying so quick, I'll be sure to post here if it all goes well.

@voonersOk I ran all origin and then epic as Administrator on my desktop and then once they were up I ran battlefront 2 as admin also on my desktop which redirected to origin which redirected back to epic (all as admin) and now it’s so much smoother. Only a bit of lag now which I think is from online. Thanks so much you're the best

Ok, after trying whole day to debug what is the issue I found out that the "Turbo" mode which overclocks the GPU is the culprit. I guess the OC is unstable. I am now using the laptop at "Performance mode" and everything runs smoothly at 1080p medium with a mix of some highs and low settings. I am getting a consistent 60-70fps. The only point where I see dipped frames are when the game changes from cut scene to normal and vice versa. 

@ECH70-0N3Yes, it is a gaming laptop. I live in a hot country where ambient temp is around at 38C. Performance mode which runs at 4.1Ghz on the laptop at idle load runs at 45-50C. I tested the CPU temperature in couple of games varying from CS:GO, Witcher 3, GTA V and Battlefront 2. In all cases CPU temps usually hit 90+ but the CPU usage varies between those games. I think it is okay considering this is a laptop with one CPU fan. 

I ended up turning off DX12 and went back to DX11, set both launchers to run as admin, and all works smoothly now, the only lag I get is ping lag with multiplayer.
