Optimise the damn game!

The constant memory leaks, occasional freezes, and laggy menus are just ridiculous, not to mention the DX12 mode is super unreliable. It either works great, or is unplayable. I have spoken to plenty of people who have given up on this game due to shoddy performance, and they're easily surpassing the recommended specs.

The menu is melting my cpu. Turned monitoring software on, 100% CPU usage (while in game it's around 80). That can't be and needs to change asap. Also in the first minute or so of each round I have extreme stutters and mini freezes but the rest of the match runs without any issues.

Yeah, exiting arcade is a nightmare.

Limit your fps to 144.
Its only 100%cpu usage because you are in the 5000+ fps range in the menus/loading screens.
Worked for my ryzen 7 should work for you.

It's a amazing how inconsistent it is for me. Last night was smooth and performed perfectly on GA and HvV. Yet the 2 previous occasions was unplayable. It's such a melt!

So i'm not the only one, who noticed some performance issues in the past days/weeks? Even fired up the monitoring software yesterday, because GA wasnt running smooth as before, temp and voltage values are okay.

u/-Level_Phenomenon- u/Flakstar yeah, it's been getting worse lately. I disabled my mods to test it out, made little difference.

Lol, It's such a bollocks. No matter what I disable or even if I lower every setting to low it still continues. I actually did a windows reformat just to eliminate any underlying issues. Nope! EAids has ruined my PC lmao

I set the priority to high in the task manager and disabled the Radeon Settings profile for the game (AMD GPU) and it improved slightly, but the memory issues are there.

My bet/theory it got something to do with the latency from our clients to EA servers. Sometimes the games runs choppyand laggy, after a break you give it a try it again (without any reboot or changes) and it'll run smooth again.

It's arcade too that's affected.

Flakstar•

Yeah noticed this too, this made me believe it's down to EA servers. Even the arcade mode needs to communicate with database backend to monitor and store your progress. So it seems the answer of these services are sometimes very slow (aka high latency), which will cause a choppy performance on our clients.

So a week ago I upgraded to a GTX 1050 TI so I decided to test out Battlefront II Starfighter Assault and it was unplayable, choppy as hell. Now yesterday I decided to play Galactic Assault on Kashyyyk and the game magically works ten times better, still a little choppy but whatever.

Edit: Just played a game of Starfighter Assault again and it played it ran much better.

If you actually care about the devs listening to you and you're not just here to blow off steam, I'd make your title a little less aggressive.

The title isn't aggressive. It's stressing the point that people have had enough of it. There are far more aggressive titles I could have chosen instead.

FYI "more aggressive" is conceding that your original title was at least a little aggressive.

Look, all im saying is that nobody likes being told how to do their job by someone yelling on the internet, regardless of if you're right. Tone makes it so easy for them to say "screw that guy" and ignore it.

If they read the title, they wouldn't have to click the link. Damn is a sign of frustration, and this game is super frustrating right now. The title makes the point, the post is just an expansion.
