High GPU usage in menu (90–95%) – RX9700XT / Ryzen 9700X
Description: While idling in the main menu, Battlefield 6 drives the GPU to 90–95% usage constantly, while CPU usage remains around 30–35%. This feels abnormal for a non-rendering/menu state – similar issue was already present in BF2042 and seems to have carried over. My suspicion: It looks like the game is unnecessarily rendering something in the background (or "mining/grinding" using our hardware). Menus should not push GPUs to near 100% load. System Specs: GPU: RX 9700 XT CPU: Ryzen 7 9700X RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000 Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2 (UEFI, Secure Boot On) OS: Windows 11 Pro (build 26100) Evidence: (Attached screenshot) GPU usage: ~90–95% CPU usage: ~35% Memory usage: ~16GB (menu only) Steps to Reproduce: Launch Battlefield 6 and go to the main menu. Observe GPU usage via HWiNFO64 / Task Manager / monitoring software. Note constant near-maximum GPU load without active gameplay. Expected Behavior: Main menu should be lightweight – GPU load should be minimal or capped, similar to other AAA titles (FPS limiter / vsync in menus). Actual Behavior: GPU runs at near full utilization in menu, causing unnecessary power draw and heat. Impact: Unnecessary power consumption and fan noise Increased temperatures and possible long-term wear Negative user experience, especially on high-end GPUs
A minority of PC users are locked out of the game.
SecureBoot causes my computer to stutter, which is why I disabled it in the first place. You guys made this same decision for Fifa 24 and I had to refund it because I was unable to play it. Another Playtest that shall not be named uses Javelin and runs perfectly fine. So what the hell?
Twitch Drops for Early Access - Not Working or Not Well Thought Out
Good Day, Either the System is not working that is providing a Key after 60 Minutes of Watching A Twitch Streamer, or the Process is not well explained. Is there select Streamers that have the ability to Provide Early Access Keys, and if so why not publish a web page with the Twitch names of those Streamers. Reason why, Any streamer can play the Game and put in there Title that Drops are Active. I mention this, because In the last 2 days, I have watched At least 3 Streamers Playing Battlefield 6 and Have stated in the title that Twitch Dops for Keys is enabled. Some even have the !watchtime command available and for some I have over 3 hours of Watchtime - But I have not received notification from twitch about acquiring a key. I have checked my Twitch Drops and Rewards - and nothing is there, and it Does not even show anything about Battlefield 6 having an event. Also, My EA Account is Linked to My Twitch Account also. The last Statement I see from EA Stating that Drops are Enabled again is 3 days or more old. Please explain or provide some assistance. I own every Battlefield game that has ever come out, and even more than one copy of each (I have multiple EA Accounts because I have 3 Children that I brought copies for also, plus on XBOX and Playstation. Shouldn't The earliest access be awarded to your loyal Players that Buy and Play your games! (Even though I have not Played Battlefield 2042 for the last year, because I never really liked it, and after I Played the last DLC saw no reason to continue playing the game because It was just too COD-ish for me! Please give some assistance. I'm sure it will not only be appreciated by me, but by many others. Thank You!
