Battlefield 2042

Does anybody have any idea as to why I may have such low CPU usage? It's around 2-5% mostly sometimes maybe 10%. (temps are around 50C in 2042)

GPU 6700XT
CPU 5800X3D
FPS capped 116 and average around 105-110 (FreeSync Ultimate)
1440p Medium details setting.
Adrenalin to monitor FPS, temps and usage.

GPU is very high near maxed.

GPU makes sense since being at 1440p targeting 116FPS, but the CPU is 'odd' even for a solid CPU, BF 2042 is know to be crazy CPU dependant and I would only expect a discrepancy this OTT if I paired a 1060 at 1440 116FPS and on max details or something...

 

If your gpu is maxed, then it is just that, no more to give. I think your doing pretty good with the 6700xt at 1440p.



How is the motion on screen, smooth or still stuttering? Frostbite with the settings cranked up does get pretty demanding.

The cpu fans on my 5800x3d run pretty hard when playing 2042.

I've been spending some time just unlocking attachments and vehicle upgrades on Conquest PvE set with bots set to Advanced. Definitely good practice. Over expose yourself and they will kill you quick.

 

The bots surprise me a lot. They will shoot you down in a heli with a rocket launcher and do some really "player" style actions.

It's pretty challenging if you're not on your toes and this is on normal lol, so I'd like to see how it is on hard.

 

2042 performance is great tbh, it does hitch here n there, compared to say, Rage 2 which I have been playing which is just flawless, but 2042 is very playable, I am absolutely LOVING it, it's an AMAAAZING game.

HOWEVER, they absolutely NEED more flags on some maps, and to scatter harmless mobility Motorcycles around the maps and add 4 to the call in menu. Ones which are nippy and manouverable.

The mobility is still nothing short of painstaking a lot of the time for an infantry player like myself.

I am getting to know the maps much better and using the tac insert to mitigate the situation but sometimes I still look around and just leave because I cba killing myself and respawning or running for 2 minutes to get sniped and start over.

I am a huge huge fan of 2042 but it still neds work. Some of the most fun I have ever had on a BF I am having in 2042. Incredible game. I still find Spearhead the most functional map - I wish they had a map filter.

 

When you set them on Advanced you die as quickly as when playing against people for the most part. Not to say the AI are smart as they will let me roll a tank on a flag in a confined area and let me nuke them. They will AT you but not in mass and rarely a C5 attempt when driving armor.

The AI air to ground is good, they will hound you.

The AI infantry fighting although is pretty good. You can take 1-2 head on but 3-4 or more and you'll lose almost every time.

Playing with some of the weapons and the first SMG you get is actually a monster of a gun. Good at close AND medium range.

 

The last couple of maps (spearhead & flashpoint) have been good. They're just the right size for infantry & vehicles. I can't say the same for breakaway though, it's not scaled down enough to be all that enjoyable for infantry players. Most of the action ends up being centered on the oil rig which gets kind of boring as you running in circles defending those two objectives all round.

 

It's funny how players differ so vastly - this would be the exact situation I LOOK for. Anytime there's a set of two flags on a map which are fought for back n forth are my favourite games. I guess that's because there is no alternative on these crazy maps though, if you take Devastation from BFV there was still loads of action but yet there was ALWAYS somewhere to go anywhere on the map and quickly.

BFV had some great maps. Al Marj also was brilliant.

 

For those interested in Portal game design, found the Discord server for the guys that have done a lot with it so far and more to come.

Is it just me or is being in a squad in this game totally pointless? Nobody ever seems to stick together or even revive, playing solo can be pretty frustrating.

 

Yeah its a bit frustrating this, people plays a lot alone and dont care about their squad and people dont waiting for medic to revive.

 

It is by design.

When I say the current people at DICE don't know what they are doing, I didn't stutter.
