Haven’t been playing for awhile, and got motivated after I upgraded to Win10… I have an older rig (but it checks out!) - I5-2500K, GTX670, 16GB - and because my monitor is even more crappy at 1680x1050 it’s always been just fine.
Anyway. Last night I noticed that on busy maps I was getting lots of stuttering but it didn’t feel like network lag and my framerate was still good. So I look at task manager and my 4 cores are all maxed out, then break it down by process and FIREFOX is using 49% of my CPU with BF4 using about the same. So I closed out battlelog/Firefox and the game smoothed out, with about 80-85% CPU usage. But of course then if I wanted to switch servers or anything, I had to restart it.
Not a HUGE deal, but has anyone else had similar issues? Is it the plugin that’s causing such high resource consumption or is it Firefox itself? I switched from Chrome to FF because Chrome was doing such a bad job of resource management lately, but this could send me back if it will work better for Battlefield.
