Strange FPS Drop in BF1

Battlefield 1 General Discussion
1

Hello guys, at first sorry for my bad english, i’m an Italian PC player :smile:

My setup is:
I7 7700K @ 4.5 Ghz
MSI 1070 Gaming X
16 GB of Ram Corsair Vengeance @ 2133 Mhz
Windows 10 Fall Creator Update 1709 (constantly updated)
nVidia driver 388.43
MSI Afterburner for monitoring in game

Game mode disabled, no origin in game and i’ve unistalled nvidia geforce experience.

I play BF1 on 1080p (Asus ROG PG258Q - GSYNC) with Ultra Video settings and fps capped to 120.

When i’m playing FIRST match on multiplayer (conquest 64) all run smooth on all maps without stuttering or FPS drop. When the second/third etc match starts they appears annoying stutter and fps drops from 110-115 to 85-90 on all maps.
My temps are fine, 55° on CPU and 67° max on GPU, so isn’t a throttling problem.
What is the problem ?

Someone posted a script somewhere for clearing cache memory on Windows 10 I think this help them a lot although I have not tried it myself

i’ve already clean my windows 10 cache, but nothing has changed

Yep, try this, works for me and a bunch of others as it circumvents a Fall Creator’s Update memory allocation bug:

Link to section: If you’re using DX12 go back to DX11. Some of the symptoms you mentioned have been posted here from other DX12 users.If you’re using DX12 go back to DX11. Some of the symptoms you mentioned have been posted here from other DX12 users.

Unfortunately, DX12 is most likely something that will never be fixed for this game.

Mate, this trick works for me, 2 hour in game and no stutter or fps drop. Thanks a lot :wink:

I feel like this should be pinned on the forums until such time that MS decides to release a fix.

I hope MS releases a fix :wink:

ROLL BACK to version 1607 best for bf1

13

I rolled back at 1607 last mouth, but now windows is update to 1709. With clean standby memory I fix the issue

14

“Standby” and “hibernate” have ALWAYS been a source if issues since Windows XP. Not saying it happens to everyone that uses it but it can be more of a problem than it’s worth.

Maybe there’s some malware on your PC that you’re not aware of or its the server’s fault.
Some servers have bad netcode or there’s alot of people on 1 server which causes alot of FPS Drop!

Try using this FREE Razer Product called Razer Cortex that can boost up your games and increase the FPS in-game!

Useless gamebooster advertisement. Just what he needed for to fix standby memory allocation bug.

17

if I use dx12 or resume windows sleep mode, I get terrible stutters in bf1. Also sometimes its just the network connection to the server. Exiting and rejoining helps as well…

I found a fix for me. I have a i7 4770k ( No OC) with 1 stick of 8gb 1600 mhz and one of 4 gb - 1333 mhz. I leave the configuration on AUTO in Bios, i had lot of drops and stutters. All i did was set frequency to 1600 mhz at 1.5 volts and set timing of ram to 11 11 11 28. It was 13 13 13 35. I did this and the game finally runs fine. Engilish its no my first language.

19

So it was Microsoft after all. sigh

I wouldn’t hold out for a fix from MS on this one. We need to find a workable solution. I will try this standbylist scheduled task and see if it works.

Tried the standbylist fix and it didn’t make much difference.

having 2 different sizes of memory will probably limit your performance since they can’t be run in duel channel. you would probably be better off with 2x4gb. but i would definitely recommend getting a matching stick to your [email protected]
