Huge lag spike at start of game-mode, fine afterwards

Hi there.  I'm having a great time playing the Beta but I just have run into a few technical issues that need to be fixed before release.  Whenever I run the game on any other graphics setting othe...

@NoCure4Cancer I have encountered the same issue (stuttering for a minute or two) and it helped on my system to close some not needed background processes. Could you please check if turning off any kind of not needed application (Steam, Skype, Updater such as Adobe or MS Office updater in the taskbar etc.) helps to solve the issue? Just enter your taskmanager and disable any application you don't need at the moment. We got several reports about high CPU usage and that could be related, could you please tell us the model of your videocard and your CPU?

Cheers

Hi Bastian, thanks for the swift reply. I am operating on Intel i5 750 2.67GHz that has been overlocked to 3.00GHz and my GPU is an AMD R9 280x with 3gb memory. 

I too believed (and maybe still do believe?) the issue is related to CPU power. My CPU was operating at factory settings the first time I played the beta, but after encountering the problems mentioned in my first post I decided to over-clock it to closer match the required specifications to play Battlefront and hope this would fix, or at least alleviate the issue. However I found this not to be the case. I also did play the beta again, with applications such as Steam, Skype, and general background applications all closed and this, in combination with the over-clocking seemed to have a slight, beneficial impact but has sadly not fixed the issue entirely and my situation is still similar to the one described above. 

I won't be able to play the beta again for around 48 hours, but when I have the chance I will give it another go and ensure that every other non-essential application is closed. 

Let me know if you find any other work around or just want me to try something else. 

Thank you for your time!
