I don't know what the bulk of DICE have been working on for the last 6 months, but it's not called BFV.

If I had to hazard a guess, the next Battlefield. :v:

But in all seriousness, despite selling "well" BFV clearly did not sell as well as the series normally does nor was it a standout seller like BF1. EA also had its whole monetization plan it had been laying out completely derailed by the Battlefront 2 lootbox fiasco, not to mention that they still have to play it carefully or they're going to kill their golden gooses (FIFA & Madden) through gov't legislation. A big reason to move onto the next title is EA and DICE need to completely rethink and re-do their long term monetization strategy for Battlefield (and, heck, all their big shooters) going forward.

Athem cratering also has likely not helped things.

I'm very curious to see if DICE is just going to drop BFV after the Pacific Theatre releases.

This could be totally wrong but in game a guy recommended upping resolution scale to 130%. Said something that it is slogging since it is hitting the cpu too much and upping it will shift more to the gpu?

it's not going to help your framerate if that's what you're asking

but if your GPU is not 100% utilized then this will help aliasing somewhat, without too much performance hit

BF4: Any ideas how to get a game on a Final Stand map? Trying to unlock the TDD and playing one (meaning: going through an end of round screen, not just spawning) is a prereq, and all the servers are empty whenever I try.

Play a dlc server and vote for one, that's probably your best option. You could try asking people to help you out to avoid getting votes for vanilla maps instead.

The game (as are a good handful of games released in late 2018-2019 it seems) is really hard on older CPUs with 2 or 4 cores, and DX12 was designed to be less CPU-intensive than DX11, so for a while early on people with CPU bottlenecking could get a noticeable performance increase by switching to DX12 if their video card was able to pick up the slack.

I went ahead and just bought a new motherboard and a 9900-k using part of my tax money, because I'd been using a proc from like 2015/2016 and could barely play without just giving up.

IDK, I had a 2500k overclocked and for years that did me fine. I finally upgraded to a 6700k and didn't feel much of an improvement. I'm still gaming on that 6700k and getting 144 fps on max settings. Some games do hit the CPU harder than others, but overall videogames are very much GPU bound these days, with few exceptions. I think Assassin's Creed Odyssey hits the CPU really hard, but its also just less optimized than other games because its basically a single player MMO with a stupid big world.

I've been thinking about getting a 9700k or even 9900k but so far it doesn't seem like I need to, upgrading my GPU was all I had to do to get back to 144fps rendering even at 1440p with everything cranked. Maybe in a few years I'll upgrade but the 6700k seems fine and its from like 2016.

No, hes right. This game really struggled with 4c/4t cpus. Your 6700k is 4c/8t.

I just bought this game because of the Origin sale and does anyone have any tips to improve performance? Despite having a 1080ti and a Ryzen 6 1600x I get some weird framedrops at high or ultra presets.

Make sure you're not playing with DX12 on. I have a similar setup (using 2600x and 1080TI) and get pretty good performance with DX11 but always had issues with DX12 .

What DX are you running? I have a 6700k+1080TI and get somewhere around 90-144 FPS on most everything ultra. I personally found DX12 with Future-frame rendering off ran better for me than DX11+FFR on. But try all combinations of that. You might also want to try Fullscreen vs Windowed Fullscreen. Make sure to turn off motion blur, vignette, film grain, lens distortion, chromatic abb all off.

I was playing windowed fullscreen before and turning that of helped a little. I'll try turning on DXD12, I was avoiding it because I remembered how it wasn't great in BF1.

*EDIT*

So I played some more and yeah there are drops but it's actually hitching I think. Messing with the DX version and the FFR didn't change anything. I don't know if it's the game or my pc but man it's frustrating.

It's stupid they removed perma 64p Mercury servers when they introduced the Frontlines / Domination / TDM rotation.

You know, after a good fun Mercury Frontlines game, I just want to quit the server and join a good fun Mercury Breakthrough game.

Oh, look, a Mercury Breakthrough server. Best join it...

Is the stuttering immediate or does it take a bit of gameplay before it starts?

If so download Intelligent Standby List Cleaner - https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/intelligent-standby-list-cleaner-v1000-released

And set Free Memory is Lower Than to half of your total RAM in megabytes.

A couple of other suggestions

Find the exe, right click on it and make sure it's not running with Full Screen Optimizations.

Make sure your GPU is set to Prefer Maximum Performance in the nVidia control center.

High Performance power setting for your computer.

Disable Origin In Game Overlay (it causes issues for some people)

Check in your Windows sound control panel and see if the default output got switched.

Yeah I checked that. Also opened the mixer to make sure it was assigned to the correct output. Everything else including discord was still working fine.

I also tried switching the game back to full screen from windowed, resetting the sound settings, then resetting ALL settings.

What’s interesting is this same thing happened with CoD:4 too. All other games work fine though.

Some kind of 5.1 or 7.1 setting enabled with only stereo output maybe? I've had a fun one recently where the game kills my left channel audio, come to think of it.

If you use a bluetooth headset with a phone mode disable that on the device in control panel or bf activates it on startup (even if not the default device) and it'll kill the other connection.

Resetting the audio config should have covered this but i’ll manually check again to make sure it’s not this. thanks!

Couple of nights ago I played it for the first time in months, doesn’t seem like a whole lot has changed and performance was worse than I remember it being before. Mercury is a real pretty looking map, though. Game probably isn’t going to be good until Chapter 5 at the earliest.

Not really, it's pretty much the same launch-state except fighters are pretty bad, and theres actually +1 good map which is kinda important but there's still aerodumb, hamada, narvik, fjell breakthrough to contend with. a few guns have some tweaks but functionally all pretty much the same.

check back in in january 2020.

I was expecting after Anthem burned up hard that EA would put a lot more resources into BF5 to make up for it, and while it seems they've definitely upped resources on game content since Firestorm was finally released, it's still nothing substantial and probably won't pay off until late Fall/Winter. A lot of their resources seems focused on dumb poo poo like 5v5 maps/modes and stuff that no one is asking for. I kinda hope they've been working on the next BC3 or whatever the whole time while working on BF5 because it is/was pretty dire the last 8 months and only now seems like they have a roadmap to salvaging it but it's still pretty far off that only time will tell.

"Stuttering performance issue" adequately describes every problem the game has, from public relations to chasing the latest gameplay fads.
