FPS Drops, Performance Issues

Battlefield 1 General Discussion
1

Hi guys, I don’t know if it’s happening to you but since the April patch was implemented, I’ve had problems with the game’s performance, 2-3 weeks ago I played at 80-120 fps with everything on low, effects on ultra, mesh medium, terrain on ultra, lightning on medium and antialiasing in FXAA High. Since last week I have too many frame drops, sometimes it goes down to 45 fps and stays between 60-90 fps. The game stutter a lot, my specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G OC to 3.9GHz
MoBo: MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon
RAM: G.Skill Ripjawz V Black DDR4 8GB 3200MHz
GPU: MSI GTX 1050Ti Gaming X 4G
OS: Win10 Pro

I just notice the April update is bottlenecking the CPU, that’s what causes the fps drops, my cpu always used between 48% and 71%. Since the update the CPU use between 80% and 100% I had noticed with the MSI Afterburner but now that I saw other people complaining that is apparently the problem.

8GB is too poor to play.

Not if it’s dual channel a.k.a 2 sticks of RAM ( 2x4gb).

it might be some other application running in the background using CPU.My CPU usage hasn’t change.

Ummmmm, wrong.

I have had the exact same issue, Arsenic_AS. Great performance before the update but since then everything I’ve tried from limiting the frame rate to turning down all the video effects has made no difference. I always have either the yellow or red frame rate warning popping up, and the game has gotten tedious to play. Fraps shows frequent drops to 20 - 30 fps. Previous held steady at 120 - 144 (I had a 144 max set).

What is also frustrating (for me) is that this problem does not seem to be widespread, so I don’t see fixes being posted.

CPU: i5 6600K 3.5 Ghz OC to 3.9GHz
MoBo: Gigabyte ATX DDR4 Gaming 7
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 16GB 2666Mhz
GPU: MSI GTX 970 4gb Gaming OC
OS: Win10 Pro

Built the system in 2015, so it’s a little old, but the game ran great…until this update.

make sure your gpu restriction is on and DX 12 is off, after that restart computer to take effect

7

you’re wrong.

8

if you have a bloated os then maybe but 8gb is perfectly fine. I upgraded from 8 to 16 gb (both in duel channel) and saw like 2-3 extra fps minimums. definitely could not tell the difference without looking at the fps counter.

9

Come back when you educate yourself hydro. I have 2 backups with 8 Gb runs fine all day long

10

nonsense.
my other pc with 8G doesn’t run the game hahahaha

11

My other PC with 8GB run the game fine.

You just can’t have anything unnecessary running in the background.

12

I recently reinstall clean Windows 10 April update and encounter lower gaming performance in every game. All have the same issue: higher cpu usage. Remember I just reinstall clean Windows 10 (by clean mean delete every single partition) and install minimum app. There must be something wrong with the April update so I advice gamer hold on install this new windows update

13

There are tons of videos on youtube showing that ram usage is above 8gb. I slightly under 9gb, but that is enough to throttle fps alot. I have an 1050 ti, and upgraded my ram from 8 to 16gb. With 8gb i played on low with 55-60 pretty stable. Now with 16gb i play on medium/high on 60 fps 100% stable, never goes below. So upgrading ram made a huge difference for me and many others.

14

Just because YOU can’t doesn’t make it true for everyone else. You need to learn how to optimize your system.

My total system usage NEVER goes above 5.9 gb while running the game. I can take screenshots to prove it.

15

Good for you. But to anyone else having problems with their fps while running 8gb of ram, just montor your ram-usage, and if its above 8gb - then thats most likely the cause of the drop.

16

Then you have no idea how to configure a PC. You tell me I’m wrong? Then I must just imagine playing the game at a relatively smooth 70 fps. I top out at 6.2 gb. Learn to PC.

17

I seriously disslike people like you
i’m therefore not going further into this debate.

I did this before, and i had my punishment on the forum.

don’t want that no more ^
Ciao.

Have the same problems. Huge Fps drops and lag, sometimes stutter issues. Fps is just only 30-80 fps on “LOW” settings. Before the patch 90-120 on mixed medium/high settings on Conquest/Operations.

This is annoying as hell

Have you been able to solve the problem? It keeps happening to me, about two months ago or so, the game was going to more than 80 stable fps. Now it goes to 30 -40 fps and constant drops to 10 fps

20

nope fps are still low as f#ck
