Battlefield 2042 players on PC are facing some performance issues. Apparently, the game is not using the hardware capacity correctly.
According to multiple reports, Battlefield 2042 suffers from a stuck or limited FPS issue. This means that some experience huge FPS drops, while others have their FPS locked in a low range (1, 2, 3, 4).
Battlefield 2042 FPS lag, stuck or limited issue on PC
Battlefield 2042 players on PC report limited range in game FPS. That is, even with very powerful hardware, some are stuck in the 40-60FPS range. This is maintained at whatever graphics quality or resolution is set.
Some have tried various things to try to solve the problem. For example, a player reports changing settings, updating drivers, and even reinstalling the game. But, nothing worked.
I can not hit constant 60FPS. Even if I change my graphical settings (2k to 1080p, ultra to low, dlss off or on) my FPS didn’t improve AT ALL.
I’m still stuck between 40 to 60FPS.
I’ve got a 3070Ti and a Ryzen 7 5800x, 16GO of RAM and an NVMe SSD Source
Potential inefficient use of resources
Other players report the incorrect use that Battlefield 2042 is making of available hardware. For example, in some cases, there is 70% CPU usage, while is only taking advantage of 30% of the GPU.
The alleged inefficient use of resources is what would be producing the Battlefield 2042 low FPS rate.
EA is already aware, an official workaround
EA’s support team confirmed that they are already aware of the issue. According to the company, their research found that updating Visual C++ to the latest version helps to resolve it.
In the coming days, if there is any new development in this regard, we will update this article. So, stay tuned with us.
