Battlefield 6 – FPS drops by half until a setting is changed
Hey everyone, I’ve been running into an issue in Battlefield 6 where my FPS sometimes drops to about half of what it should be when launching the game or loading into certain maps. I found a temporary fix: if I change my display mode from Fullscreen to Bordered Windowed (or vice versa), the FPS immediately goes back to normal. It seems like something gets stuck with the display or graphics settings when the game starts. Maybe it’s related to fullscreen optimization or resolution scaling. Has anyone else run into this? Would be great if EA could look into it.4.3KViews6likes15CommentsCpu issues, crashing, extreme frame drops, high temps/usage
My system: ryzen 5900x, zotac 3060 12gb, 2x16gb gskil ripjaw ddr4 3200mhz, 1tb nvme, asrock b450m-hdv mobo, hyper 212 black ed, 4 corsair 120 daisy chain case fans, 650w psu, cooler master micro atc case From the day i upgraded from a ryzen 5500 to a 5900x i’ve had issues with this game. I’ts not mobo vrm’s or psu, i ran hwinfo64. For some reason, only this game maxes my cpu out all the time, causing extreme frame drops and crashes, without MAJOR tuning. I got rid of both in a bunch of ways and found the most efficient way to do it, while gaining fps instead of losing it. I was spiking up to 100% cpu usage, 90 degrees, and even idling the game at 82 degrees, at 70fps. Now i get 130 fps average (no frame gen) at 60 degrees max, never peaking 40% cpu usage. No more crashes. If you ran hardware monitors and saw similar problems, here are my optimal fixes. Disable “PBO” in bios. Install process lasso, set the game to run on the cores and threads windows doesn't use, if you have a powerful cpu. Induce performance mode and exclude it from pro balance. Set it to high priority on cpu, gpu, and io. Set your power plan to bitsum highest performance or ultimate performance, then under advanced power plan settings, set min and max processor state to 99%. Next make a user.cfg file on notepad and save it in your bf6 folder, look up a tutorial. Set it to your cores and threads minus however many windows uses, most likely 2. If you have a smaller cpu, try all cores. If its bigger, try one ccd. If your games still not smooth, lower your “VID” in .05 increments in bios. If it doesn’t get better after 2 of those, revert the “VID” to auto. This is to undervolt your cpu, making it maintain higher clock speeds at lower temps for longer periods of time. Try switching your “xmp” from auto to “xmp 2.0” in bios (ram overclock), or the other way around. If you're having cpu issues and this didn't fix it, i got nothingVRAM usage exceeding minimum spec requirement
Hi, Somehow Battlefield 6 is using around 12 GB of VRAM. after 30+ minutes of playing. The game runs fine for about 10 minutes then slowly starts choking itself out upon loading new areas. Not too sure why but it's frustrating. Particularly due to the fact that I'm running a 1920x1080p display at settings recommended by NVIDIA. Specs: Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-12600K (3.70 GHz) Installed RAM 32.0 GB Edition Windows 11 Home NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060PSA: Mouse Input is broken in this game (looks similar to bad frame timing)
Mouse input is broken, which ruins an otherwise well optimised game. This looks to be getting confused with poor frame timing in a lot of threads, but controller input is unaffected. For reference, I easily average over 100fps even on the bigger maps, but panning the camera with mouse input makes the game feel like it's running at 15fps despite no drops. In-game reporting confirms it's running perfectly, as CPU/GPU are always rendering within 10fps of eachother. Connect a controller though? Buttery smooth camera panning, and easy to track enemies. No hitches or stutters, just butter. I've tried: - All polling rates, from 125hz up to 4000hz - Toggling raw input on/off - Enabling/disabling Nvidia reflex - Changing USB ports, changing to different mice, wired/wireless - USB power saving etc all turned off - I even tried a driver/Nvidia CP restore, but as controller is super smooth, this was a long shot in the first place Unfortunately the game is unplayable using a mouse on PC due to this. It's next to impossible to track targets, and you quickly get a headache from the micro stuttering when panning. The effect is very similar to Helldivers 2 on PC, when you turn off 'Mouse Smoothing', as that game has serious issues with raw mouse input. Happy to hear suggestions on how to fix this. Mice tried: - Keychron M4 - Logitech G305 - Logitech G604 - Razer Naga Hyperspeed - AttackShark M1 I've also tried on an entirely different PC, same results. OLED as always exhacerbates the issue too, due to the awesome pixel response times. I fear many won't see it due to slower LCDs. Specs are: 5700x3d 3060ti 8GB 32GB DDR4 3600 CL16 AW3423DW (Gsync module version) This is on a fresh Windows install, up to date drivers (tried DDU as well to be sure), but honestly since it's running beautifully with a controller, this looks to be purely a mouse input issue. No other games exhibit this issue other than... Helldivers 2, and Battlefield V. BF1 is butter on mouse, as are BF3 and BF4. Helldivers 2 can be fixed by turning on mouse smoothing in game. I almost bought a GPU upgrade before testing the Xbox controller, saved myself £600. Latest CM post: Hi everyone, Thanks for sharing your experiences and feedback so far. We understand this issue is especially frustrating when it impacts your ability to play smoothly with a mouse. While we’ve asked for similar information before (here), to move forward and make meaningful progress, it is absolutely essential that you provide detailed and precise information responding to the specific request below. Giving vague comments without concrete details won’t help us troubleshoot, escalate, or investigate effectively. If you’re able to, please reply directly to this post by clicking the Reply button on this post. This keeps your info neatly organised and makes it much easier for us (and the studio) to track everything. Please avoid replying to the original post or posting at the bottom of the thread, as this makes it harder for everyone to follow the conversation. Here’s what would be super helpful for us to know: Mouse mode (wired or wireless) Mouse polling rate (e.g. 1000Hz) Whether you’re using mouse software (like Razer Synapse) Where your mouse is plugged in (PC, monitor, hub, etc.) Keyboard model and connection type (wired/wireless) Keyboard polling rate Whether you’re using keyboard software Where your keyboard is plugged in Monitor model Full PC specs (CPU, GPU with driver version, RAM) Full Windows OS version (not just "Windows 11") Whether Gsync or VRR is enabled Full screen mode (fullscreen, borderless, windowed) Which platform do you play on (EA app or Steam) Any overlays active during play (Discord, EA app, Nvidia overlay, etc.) CPU and GPU usage percentages while playing Whether the issue improves with a framerate cap (e.g. 125 FPS) The more details you can share, the better we can help. We know it’s a lot to ask, but this is the only way we can ensure the right information reaches the team and move things forward. Thanks so much for your patience and for helping us out with this. We really appreciate it!Solved76KViews224likes1060CommentsHigh ping issue since January 1st

Lately, my audio has been having major issues. Some things like reloading, vehicles, defibs, voicelines, etc., seem to trigger really late or sometimes not at all, while other things like gunshots and hitmarkers consistently play on time. So far, I have tried verifying files, different output devices, all sorts of Windows and BF6 audio settings, checked drivers, checked Windows updates, deleted and redownloaded the game, and even did a hard reset of my pc. Redownloading the game seems to be a somewhat unreliable temporary fix, where after redownloading, all audio plays on time without cutting out for a while, and it sounds great. But without fail, it always starts bugging out again eventually. Sometimes after just a few matches, sometimes hours of playtime, but redownloading is the only thing I've found to "reset" it. My PC more than meets the game's recommended specs and doesn't have any issues keeping high framerates without any performance drops at high and ultra settings. The game doesn't seem to be using too much RAM, CPU, or GPU when checking it through taskmanager so I'm just at an absolute loss. If anyone else has experienced this or has found a fix, PLEASE let me know. It is extremely annoying and really takes a lot of fun out of the game, constantly ruining any sort of immersion.107Views2likes6CommentsMatchmaking send back to Menu
I have the issue where it finds a match, then I get a black screen and then it says Battlefield, and send me back to the Menu, seems like I am able to find a match, but not connect to it, I have tried all different settings allowing the game on the Firewall option, repair/re-installed game files, same issue. I was able to play some matches with the beta, but then I had this same issue, now in launch day, still happening. Anyone has any solutions? See video for reference Thanks !Solved22KViews108likes300CommentsPacket losses in large scale BF6 modes
I have terrible packet losses in large scale BF6 modes (like in escolate and breakthrough). My TN goes up to 800+ms. But it happens specifically in large scale modes. In modes like redsec or rush everything is good. I checked my internet connection, switched to cable ethernet, updated drivers, flushed dns, changed dns servers to google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and everything that is usually recommended for fixing packet losses, but nothing helped. Can you help me soplve and understand if this is a problem on my end, or maybe a BF6 servers after all will be forever gratefull, thanks!

Whenever I have my keyboard input pressed (movement keys for example), and move my mouse around it starts skipping (see video below). Started happening on 11 of Dec. But everything was fine a couple of days before around 09/12. I haven't updated any drivers. Haven't done anything with the settings. Restarting won't help. In any other game it's fine.
