Don’t try this with 4gb ram or less, you need at least 8gb for this temporary fix to work properly, your operating system may go haywire if you mess with these settings.
Wake up dumbshit, this gets rid of stuttering. The only way I could fix stuttering before was to reboot.
This has helped a lot of people, thanks.
fix the game!!!
i sometimes stutter, so i might try this
but tbh i am reluctant to do this, i shouldn’t have to do this, the game should work, and id rather dice fix it.
are you new to pc gaming?
thx it kinda hlp
just i have one issue with this settings, superfetch goes on automatic on random after few days and my fps drops from 120 to 80 and than i need to repeat steps 2 and 3. any help?
my pc specs:
i53570k oc 4.5ghz
hd7870 2gb
16gb ram
2tb hdd (dont have ssd..doesnt know if that has anything to do with it…i m bot in this stuff)
Hello,
Not sure about the frame drop, there should not be any, I have not experienced any on my system, could this be something else?
With superfetch setting could this be another application trying to change settings back to normal, perhaps windows update?
I have to also repeat step2 and 3, the frequency depends on how high I setup gfx settings. Sometimes its good for 1 or 2 rounds sometimes I need to repeat in middle of the round.
More memory you have less often you have to repeat, if you get to the point that you have 16GB you don’t need to worry about step 2 & 3 anymore it just works.
Thank you for all the hard work finding this fix. I used to get 15-20 fps, now it never falls below 40 and hovers from 50-60. I very rarely have to empty the memory. Can’t tell you how frustrating it was having this game not playable on a $300 graphics card.

These could be symptoms of a known memory leak in BF4.
If you get stuttering, especially which gets worse over time, check your system RAM usage and hard drive activity. If it is pegged high, then it’s probably the memory leak problem and not your hardware being underpowered or anything.
I can run the game on Vista 64, i920, on an AMD HD 4870 with only 512 MB VRAM, with 6GB RAM, on almost all Medium settings with 50fps.
With the memory leak unchecked, it was unplayable powerpoint presentation even on low settings.
As described in either this or another thread, the solution was to rename weaponchunks.sb file in the Origin Games\Battlefield4\Data\Win32 folder.
I wanted a simple, focused solution that was easy to implement and easy to reverse, and didn’t affect any other programs, since I only had this problem with bf4.
This stops the bf4 memory leak, allowing steady-state memory usage (4.8 GB total system ram used on my system with other programs open), and the stuttering, caused by heavy paging due to increased memory demand, will go away (if the memory leak is the issue).
So before upgrading your system, check for memory leak symptoms.
This didn’t help for me, what did work for me was lowering my CPU overclock by 100mhz (3.7x6 to 3.6x6)
I’ve even got faster load times now too!
The weaponchunks.sb works for some, but causes minor sound bugs but ultimately works (muted reload, no defib chargebeep)
I have been istalled an SSD 4 weeks ago. All of the issues are dissapeared. I am happy… No lag, no trouble, only crystal clear fun.
I’ve had one since bf3, always had suttering on bf4, even now i get occasional stutters
I can’t even make my GPU use more than 75% of it’s usage, the game just isn’t optomised enough (7950)
