There are a few tricks to increase performance and stability of BF 2042, including editing game files and configuring operation system settings. All this gives a good result. To know the full guide keep on reading!
Improve Battlefield 2042 performance and increase FPS
In-Game settings
Adjust graphics settings depending on the performance of your computer (Ultra, High, Medium, Low. Your choice), except these five options:
- Motion Blur
- Chromatic aberration
- Film Grain
- Vignette
- Lens Distortion
Start from High and keep adjusting them as per your likings. There is no set rule for graphics settings if you are looking to optimize your system in the first place.
There are some post processing effects that are causing some lag on most of the computers. You can experiment, but we recommend to set Motion Blur to “0”, and other options to “OFF”

Save changes, then Right-click on PROFSAVE_profile, click Properties, check the Read Only checkbox, and Apply.

In Windows, search of Exploit Protection settings, then go to Program settings, click Add program to customize, and Choose exact file path.

Then go back to Exploit Protection settings, expand both files one at a time, and press Edit.
