I know this game is a bit buggy, but I think my computer shouldn't be lagging so much with 60 frames per second or stuttering that badly when it's supposed to run smoothly. Maybe there are problems inside my hardware too? I have 16 gigabytes of RAM running at 3000 mhz and the games are all on an M.2 drive.

Update your post with the full system hardware specs and OS info. Are you gaming over wireless? Wireless is often slower and can get blocked by interference from many sources. Do you have a specific modem, router, or did you combine both? Where are you playing: at home, in an apartment, or maybe on campus? First try setting up a temporary wired connection to see if that makes a difference. It might help, even if it doesn't always change things.

My PC runs Windows 10 with 16GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM running at 3000MHz on an Asus TUF gaming motherboard. The Intel i7-9700k clocked up to 4.48GHz, and it comes with an MSI Suprim RTX 3080Ti in its original box. Everything is wired up and my internet provider is British Telecom, so I connect directly from home. This setup sits in a small room next to the bed for good airflow. If you need more info, just let me know. Honestly, this rig feels way too slow for what it should be capable of. I also have Bitdefender Premium installed on my PC.

I don't really understand what this page has to say either. It claims I'm missing an SSD, but since my operating system runs on an M.2 drive, that doesn't make sense. Someone who knows about tech should check this and tell me if something is wrong. Actually, it says my graphics card isn't working well enough, maybe just because I didn't set the speed to its maximum yet. I used to have a GPU die in this setup before!

I just found out that my GPU and CPU temperatures are fine, which is totally normal for me. I'm using water cooling on the CPU, so it stays cool no matter what game I play. Even in Battlefield 2042, the CPU never hits over 75 degrees.

Do any of my CPU cores get stuck at 100% when playing this game? It says the game needs lots of threads, but I only have 8 available for me.

I have three out of eight cores running at full speed, but the other five are just sitting there slow down. This happens all the time and it's totally random. My CPU is way too strong for this game anyway. The hottest part was 80 degrees on one core.
