Battlefield 2042 SEASON 3 PRO Settings Guide ( Best Visibility and Performance )

[@Zed86zz]

An alternative control scheme for players that are used to WASD or joystick flying controls: W pitch down, S pitch up; A and D roll; Mouse yaw and pitch (rifle aim); Space throttle up +afterburner, Shift throttle down/airbrakes. This scheme has carried me from bf4 to 2042, as well as Warthunder and Squad. All of the aircraft's rotations are controlled with the 3 fingers on wasd, so its very intuitive to learn and create smooth maneuvers like you would with a joystick. I'd recommend new pilots try it out! Be aware that you might have to fuck around with inverted controls and then switching key and mouse bindings to get things to work correctly, so definitely hop in a portal server first.

[@KpxRagDoll]

This is for helicopters as well yes?

[@GamerDadKain]

I'll check this out because my roll sens keeps going from 0 to 100. I either have to swipe my mouse across my damn house to roll or I sneeze and barrel into the sun

@@GamerDadKain this is so true, i can't get the sens for mouse and keyboard on aircrafts and some vehicles, its hard! any tips? sens is so low i can't even rotate 45º

[@cDHitman47]

@@pav1ui dont know if this answers your question, but silk mentioned he plays with a DPI of 1600 and this makes the rifle aim easier (because it should be faster). I hope this helps

[@evanwiger]

Theres no reason to run Texrture filtering on low. Anisotropic flitering should always be set to 16x aka Ultra. cleans up the image without any real FPS hit. The game looks much better if effects are turned up as well with HBAO on and lighting. running on low feels unnessary since the last update.

[@commandertoothpick8284]

I dont know why but on my pc setting texture filtering and aniso filtering from medium to ultra reduces my fps by 30 to 40. I have an amd rx 6800

[@EnemyDwarf-TTV]

theres no need for low setting anymore

Your bf4 optimization back in the day and settings became my default on all battlefields. You also got me onto Freethy which I thank you for. I haven't even played 2042 yet. Got a nice new PC build arriving any day now so I'l be using your settings for sure. They've always worked wonders in the past for a decent amount of extra frames when I couldn't afford new hardwar, which is all i care about on PC Especially for online fps games. Cheers Silk thumbs up bruv.

[@SilkOCE]

Really appreciate the support man it's good to know that these videos help people. FR33THY is an absolute hidden gem. I wish I knew about him earlier and I could've spent my money so much better.

[@85devlin]

@@SilkOCE Yeah man. Freethy is pure gold. Helped me a bunch with the stuff that matters but you led me to his channel regarding sweet fx or something for bf4. Anyway I really apprecire the reply from you man. You're also a hidden gem yourself. An absolute joy to watch believe me. Oh and just to clarify for anybody else who may read this. Uniform Soldier Aiming with Coefficient setting at 0% instead of %133 is a must and 100% makes you better at aiming. All games needs this. Take it easy Silk thanks dude.

[@Techgnome21]

I'm tracking targets and popping melons so much easier , after setting the uniform soldier aiming coefficient to 0%. Thank you, silk!!

[@SilkOCE]

It's a game changer for me

[@ReeceHibberd]

Just switched this on for myself and already ive noticed a HUGE difference! Once again thank you mr @SilkOCE

[@Fezzy976]

Nvidia Reflex + Boost does not cap your GPU usage. The boost part forces your GPU to use max clocks all the time so it won't downclock when not being used much to save power. It basically does the same thing as "prefer maximum performance" in the Nvidia control panel. This can lead to better overall performance and smoothness but will give higher temps on the GPU but not by much.

[@eillswim]

Wrong... Does not one person in this comments section know what reflex mode actually does?? 😂😂

[@Fezzy976]

@@eillswim I am not talking about Reflex, I was talking about the "Boost" part of Reflex+Boost. The boost just forces max GPU clocks and turns off any c-states the GPU uses to save power. Reflex takes over the swap chain of the game, allowing the driver to take control of how finised frames are displayed to the monitor and how to organise the frame que more efficiently using the reflex API, reducing latency. This is why a lot of people don't bother using the reflex+boost and just use reflex on its own to save power.

[@WatdaFrag]

Great guide. For those who wonder why that specific range of FOV: Battlefield's FOV is Vertical FOV, so 74 BF FOV is like the classic 90 FOV on CoD or whatever. On older BF games, the setting would tell you what was going to be in horizontal FOV.. so that's why you shouldn't go lower than 74 and higher than 98. 120 vertical fov is HELL

[@jb8478]

68 vertical fov is 100 horizontal. 74 vertical is 106 horizontal. 78 vertical is 110 horizontal.

[@WatdaFrag]

@@jb8478 It also depends on your aspect ratio, but no, 74 vertical is 90 for 16:9. In battlefield 4 you can actually see both values in the slider

[@Sharpypus]

Thanks man, amazing video - changed some of the colours to assist my own eyesight and works a lot better. I found myself constantly shooting at my teammates with the default colour, but now can distinguish them much better ;) Keep up the great work and vids.

[@SilkOCE]

Glad it helped!

[@illwill203]

This video changed my life. Just picked the game up and was doing well but now I’m running 100 fps and the game feels so good. I’m still getting used to the chipper controls. I consider myself a pretty good pilot but this makes hitting infantry with the mini gun so easy. Just need to rewire my brain in oh shit moments.

[@CrispyMuffin2]

Idk why people complain about higher CPU load, its literally what improves performance. They made the game take better use of your CPU, which is why so many, including me have had serious FPS improvements, i earned about 40+ frames after the update

[@SilkOCE]

Exactly. I want my PC being fully utilized

[@Kingy_200]

answers that question I am seeing about 20% more cpu usage since update 3.0 and this explains it

[@Foxyy01]

Cute pfp

[@Dave93.]

We need a minimalistic HUD i see alot of things in my hud bro to much color

[@ownzies100]

Only reason to complain about higher CPU load if you're being bottlenecked due to the changes. If your CPU bottlenecking you, the changes could have made it much worse.

[@kael.ikiyua]

Came for the tips... Pleased to see your absolutelly fire wallpaper

[@jax5683]

The ADS field of view change felt like aim hacks, Thanks!

[@traviesobss]

Dude, I’ve never played these games on a PC, but I can’t get over how much more aim control you get from a mouse, it is so hard to aim like that on a controller

[@JDGabe33]

yeah, i was used to warzone's aim assist, this game is way less agressive with it

[@sorbpen]

I'm so happy I found this. I have the same type of color blindness, I did a test and it seems that either the red/green colorblindness does something with yellow because I found in many of the tests I'm less sensitive to red/green and more senetive to yellows, so to me enemies are also always yellow. Now the Deuteranomaly colorblind mode in Battlefield 4 (that I'm just recently getting into), has the squad color a similar color to the yellowish enemy colors, that's bloody stupid. This game allows you to set everything yourself and this is the solution, because everyone is a little different, and on some maps you want something else. Having set modes for colorblindness is silly, since the experience of color is a subjective experience measured through instruments that are not human eyes when we try to define an objective definition. We can't accurately translate what we see to "oh that's 230 nanometer wavelength" no we can't so let people tweak it themselves. Thank you this helped me so very much!

Good settings but for me personally on rtx3070, I have textures set to ultra, texture filter on high, nvidia image scaling sharpening to 40% in the nvidia control panel. Lose 2 fps with this setup but the visibility is SUPREME.

[@SilkOCE]

Interesting. I might trial some different settings for vis but with a 3080Ti on 1440p I don't actually have much GPU headroom

[@jayc0au]

@@SilkOCE I used to play in low @1440p but found it was too blurry at long ranges. Those setting I used fixes that with hardly any performance drop. Just try it, you probably lose 1fps :)

future frame rendering makes your game a bit more smooth but make it have more input delay

[@TheEtoneKapone]

Thank you man, I'm so dumb when it comes to settings lol

[@emrec.6024]

Future frame rendering increases input lag by design. Keep that off and use dlss instead to gain some fps. Also low graphical settings will affect visibility in especially long range.

[@KiLLJOY1056]

some people need to understand, that depending on your computer and the game, running graphics on Low can actually make the game run worse. On my 1650, ive noticed that i get better on 2042 with medium graphics than i do with low.

Hello Silk, what about the new settings Shadow Filtering

[@XMoldyMe]

If you have a 144Hz monitor, put that lock on 142/143 FPS. It's better for muscle memory. I'll issue 200 FPS as useless, you have to wait for the server response anyway.

[@mokoko3443]

ハイライト: 15:20 Thanks!!

[@pindapixel]

I was glad when I found out the stealth jet handled identically to bf3 in bf4. Never got why they changed that in newer games.

[@OodDoodelic]

There's no way the jets in 2042 feel the same as BF3/4. They genuintely feel awful in 2042. I've flown a lot of different aircraft in different games and 2042 is by far the worst. The flight model is just genuinely awful.

[@MindSag]

@@OodDoodelic when was the last time you played? The flight model was awful and the controls were almost unresponsive at times and I would rubberband everywhere, but recently it looks like they’ve fixed it and Jets are actually useable now

[@OodDoodelic]

@@MindSag I played yesterday. It's not a ping/fps/connection thing. The flight model is just genuinely terrible. Feels like I'm drifting a plane not flying it. When I pull up and let go the nose pulls back down automatically. Makes it nearly impossible to aim.

[@TwiztedMannix87]

@@MindSag the only times I've ever rubberbanded in the jet in BF is if I was on wifi. Sometimes cuz of enemy jet playing out of their server region.

[@TwiztedMannix87]

@@OodDoodelic maybe you prefer flight assist on, without it the heli does that. But with flight assist on it becomes hard to aim cuz it always centers, this sucks in heli when doing runs. The jet is not meant to fly low but the f-35 can while hovering, the jets are not equal here. Gravity pulls f-35 but not the other jet, that's what i noticed from my experience 😊

[@Shavaaa]

the settings helped a bit, but my game still gets heavy frame tears in high action areas sadly

[@robert1992.]

Change in my documents/bf2042/profsafeprof(opened with notepad), then find under render and change value from 1 to 0 ..enlighten to 0, shadow quality both setings to 0, dx12 set to 1, and significant quality set to 0...you will lower graphic quality by little,not much,but this config will give you great boost and you would be able to play it without tearing

[@ThePlantedTankTV]

I can not believe you aren't using DLSS. I keep DLSS on balanced. Game still looks good and I get a HUGE FPS boost. Using a 13600k with a 3070 and it pushes me to about 165fps. If I put DLSS on performance the game starts to look worse but I get over 200 FPS...

[@nikkmann149]

What's your source for fullscreen having less input lag? That used to be the case in older versions of windows, but in newer versions of 10 and 11 borderless fullscreen is the preferred way to play as it has been optimized to have the same input lag as fullscreen from my understanding (and thats how it feels).

[@funnyboys1235]

Yeah with the new optimized way of using the flip model it should be similar unless there is a issue specially with the game.

[@ExTremZero]

depends on what is on your desktop, if you use borderless fullscreen and use a fcking 4K 60 fps movie as wallpaper that shit will also be loaded the entire time, looking at all those weird weebs with their half naked anime bitch as background. If you have a basic bg and your desktop isnt over filled with shit there shouldnt be much of an inpact, but there is one should be minor tho, but noticeable at least for my part
