How to improve FPS in Battlefield 2042

The Battlefield 2042 open beta is available for EA Play members and those who have the game pre-ordered.

It is common for PC games, especially in beta periods or right after launch, to have performance issues that need to be fixed with a patch. Battlefield 2042 players have mentioned some problems with frame drops and more.

Until some sort of stabilization is delivered by EA, you will have to fiddle with the in-game settings to achieve the most frames per second that your computer can handle.
