I had the same problem. After I disabled windows updates it worked very well for me. This may also work for you guys, the info below I found on this website: [http://segmentnext.com/2016/10/19/battlefield-1-errors-crashes-freezing-fps-performance-black-screen-directx-and-fixes/](http://segmentnext.com/2016/10/19/battlefield-1-errors-crashes-freezing-fps-performance-black-screen-directx-and-fixes/) Open CMD as an admin, then type: “Net Stop wuauserv” (without quotation marks of course), then check in Task manager if it’s disabled there. I hope this works for you. ---

GTX 770 4GB i5 4670k Windows 8.1 Locked my FPS at 60. Most times about 40-55 FPS on lowest settings. Without locking my framerate I can reach up to 70 FPS. But only if there isn’t any action. So I’m nearly always down at 50 FPS or lower. Changing to a mix between medium and high doesn’t make a huge difference. I can’t play Operations because of a Direct X error. This is just terrible… ---

It seems like people with top of the line i7’s are the only ones who can keep the game at a consistently good frame rate.

That is weird, I have the same setup and I get around 100 fps on Ultra (90 -110) depending on the map at 1440p. No crashes, no problems what so ever. ---

Had a different FPS drop issue. Was playing a few games and had GPU near 100%, CPU around 50% and FPS hovering around 70. After awhile, the FPS dropped to around 30, GPU went to ~50% with huge spikes in frametime. ---

I also have hard FPS issues. It’s unplayable unless i put EVERYTHING on the lowest settings, but I still get FPS-drops then. DICE, please fix. GTX 1070 i5 6600K AsRock Z170 Pro4 16 GB RAM ---

I have the same dip from 130ish to 20 or lower, but it doesn’t seem to effect my gameplay. I get no stutter/freezing and my CPU usage is normal when it happens. I use Precision X to monitor FPS so I kept Precision X open and also enabled the in-game FPS overlay and they did not match up. Precision X reported 20 FPS, while the in-game never went below 90FPS on ultra. Try it yourself and let us know what you get. ---

I7-3770K @ 4.2 ghz 1070 gtx 16 GB 1440p @ 75- 85 fps ultra Getting framedrops to 40-50 fps mostly when watching over open fields but can happen whenever. The drop last around 2-3 sec and this annoys me ^^ I bought an upgrade to play flawlessly ---

I7-4790K @ 4.4 ghz 980 gtx 8 GB RAM WIN 10 64bit It’s unplayable, I keep experiencing drops from the 60s to the 40s-30s everytime I look at open areas ( and changing settings doesn’t help ). DICE, will you ever release a game that works 100% at launch? ---

Sometimes I get alot of stuttering acociated witch that red icon in the corner which means that my frames are below 60 fps which they are not, I get around 75-100 fps with a gtx 1060 6gb and an I5 6400. This causes the game to stutter and sometimes it is gamebreaking. Btw it ONLY stutters when the icon appear, help would be appriciated 🙂 ---

Same here. Changing to low or ultra has no impact in the stuttering. Fps keep flutuating between 40 - 60 fps (both singleplayer and multiplayer), causing scrren locks for less than 1 second. This is more noticeable in monte Grappa map. Other maps like Argonne i can maintain constant 60 fps. FX 6300 GTX 970 16 GB RAM WINDOWS 7 SP1 -64 bit ---

If you’re using an Nvidia card, set your maximum pre-rendered frames to 1 and your power management settings to “Prefer Maximum Performance”. I was having the same ridiculous issues in BF Hardline and Overwatch as well before making those adjustments. ---

Guyz I am also experiencing fps drops that occur randomly, going from 60-70 fps down to 10 etc.. Really annoying as you can imagine. Also i am experiencing a weird effect right after the match on the waiting screen(showing the highlights etc) the fps goes literally to 0 and comes back again.

I’m also getting random stuttering/hitches in both single and multiplayer. FPS counter is all over the map. I could be at 80fps and then hitch down suddenly to 40fps, and then back up to 80fps. There’s no consistency. In the beta, it was silky smooth maintaining 60+. It’s there even when I drop all settings to low detail. I’m at a complete loss now with troubleshooting. Is my CPU potentially the culprit here? It’s been going strong for me up until now. Man, I felt so confident with that beta performance too…ugh. Win 7 x64 i5 3570k @ 4.2ghz 16GB RAM GTX 970 ---
