INSANE FPS Boost Config File for Battlefield 2042!

[@SilkOCE]

The config file in the folder is an updated one. Whenever I change my personal config I'll upload it to that link

[@Dhawi-]

It does not appear in the screen FPS

[@celzolsen8988]

yeah I'm not getting the FPS counter either...

[@梓あずき]

That's so kind of you. Thanks for the convenience.

[@flowrida1138]

yeah indeed fps counter is missing now. is that on purpose?

[@Super_LASH]

Hi gang in the past I've used SILKS config file in the past and like now you don't need the inbuilt counter it's resources hungry. So in the config it disables it . If have Nvidia card just press LEFT ALT + R and there you have it. And same to unable it.. magic stuff once again my old friend....

[@FatalnyChłopak]

This video popped up in my recommendations and I'm glad it did. My FPS went from averaging 80 to over 110 on GTX 1080. Game feels little bit darker, but it's fine. Thanks, man!

[@FatalnyChłopak]

@MiezMiez__ i7 5820k OC’d to 4.3Ghz 1.3V it’s old but it gets the job done.

[@iDreamOfWeenie]

If you want to not have a darker look on your game but still use the rest of the file, open it with notepad and remove the line “WorldRender.LightTileCsPathEnable 0” Your fps gain will suffer slightly but it will still be an overall improvement.

Bro this is the best the games looked and run for me! I actually had a ton of fun last night and legit got some feels like back in BF2/3/4 days with the adrenalin BF intense moments and it was running buttery smooth with no stupid 2042 issues. This is shaping up to be a big comeback. I like the darker/shaders waaaay better now too, looks higher fidelity, more gritty and much shaper/cleaner and nothing blown out or as arcadie. THANKS MAN

People complain about 100% CPU usage making their CPU run hot, but if your CPU is running 90C at 100%, then maybe your cooling system is just shit

[@venomfastback]

That was my issue. I upgraded to a 3 fan liquid cooling and no issues since.

[@flaviour]

Literally. People pair 200W CPUs with a single 120mm AIO they bought for 100$ that gets outperformed by any decent air cooler and wonder why their CPU throttles.

[@ROBBER011]

[@clutch44444]

@@flaviour Yeah that's dumb

[@SilkOCE]

Imo if it's running within manufacturers spec then it's fine. A lot of cpus are actually completely fine at 90 degrees and if there is a problem they will thermal throttle themselves.

[@MarshallRawR]

I think most of what people are experiencing is placebo. I'm personally doubting the CPU commands, it seems to be hard-coded, and some like the DOF are for sure not working. DOF can be disabled with the same command while in game, but only manually, it doesn't work with a command in a .cfg. In your footage, you can see the blur behind Falck. Now type the same command in the console, and it'll go. One of the few commands that work are the LighTile one, and it's the most obvious visually, hence why I think a lot of people think other commands are active too. Not calling you out, just my two cents.

[@ImUkoo]

why do i have insane input lag. i deleted IGo64 or wtv its called and turned off ingame overlay on EA and i still get InputLag.

[@ricardoribeiro2300]

The settings will never make the game look really bad it’s just not possible

[@lohtupottu]

So where exactly do I paste it? When I open the 2042 folder it looks way different to your. When I open it, it just has 4 things in it: a cache folder, a crashdump folder, a screenshot folder and a settings folder. Even if I open them, nothing looks anything like how it does on your pc. Where do I put it?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[@SilkOCE]

Lighttilecspathenable is the command causing it. You can remove it from the cfg but it's getting you 10+ frames

[@SHORTY-NI]

@SilkOCE I'll put up with it then, frames are more important. Thanks for the reply and the file link!

[@mr.mullemeck9107]

My menu look normal, does that mean it didnt work?

[@Iowcatalyst]

wouldn't halving the amount of used cpu threads hurt performance or am I mis understanding? I can see it lowering the recorded amount of cpu used as the most monitoring software counts the whole cpu package, if a game is heavily single threaded it might show 20% utilisation but you are still heavily cpu bottlenecked because that one thread is maxed out. Even when I am at 70-80% utilisation on a 5600x there are still occasional frame drops caused by the cpu being maxed out, and that's capped at 120fps

Not a good config for the sake of a few fps. It nerfs lighting on the models and textures. That means in enclosed areas like the factory in spearhead, it’s difficult to see the opponent and the walls are all dark. Also, when zoomed in at distances, the textures are more blurred. Might be ok with people with low fps but definitely don’t use it if you’re already achieving 100fps or higher. Your visibility is disadvantaged. Even with lightTile enabled, the textures and models are still more blurred.

[@SilkOCE]

I have a top spec PC and don't think twice about this config. You do just have to choose visuals or frames.

[@jayc0au]

I get 160fps with a 3070 @1440p. 10fps more with the config with such a nerf to visuals isn’t worth it in my case. For those who play 80% or more infantry, just try the config in enclosed areas like buildings in spearhead, stranded, manifest and you’ll know what I mean about the visuals.
