bf1 BF1 stuttering/freezing fix!

[moderategamer]

I found out what has been causing BF1 to run so poorly on my system and I thought I'd share to hopefully help some of you out so here goes it's a simple fix.

 

step 1. Go to your documents and find your battlefield 1 folder and navigate to the settings folder this is usually under - C:\Users\*******\Documents\Battlefield 1\settings 

step 2. open the file named PROFSAVE_profile with any simple text editor notepad, notepad++, wordpad take your pick

step 3. find the DX12 setting should look like this GstRender.Dx12Enabled 1 

step 4. change the 1 for a 0 and save make sure you save it back to the original source obviously

step 5. Boot up BF1 crank all the settings to ultra providing you have a reasonably decent card and enjoy the stutter free gameplay like it was supposed to be.

 

For some reason there is no setting in the settings menu to turn DX12 off and it's set to be on by default for some bizzare reason I assumed it was off by default as there was no option for it but the stuttering was annoying me so I thought I'd check the settings file to see if there was some magical setting I could tweek to stop the freezing as even setting all the graphics to low didn't solve the problem. And there it was much to my excitement DX12 defaulted on magic It seems silly to me as DX12 for this game is clearly very poorly optimised for this game. Anyway long story long hope this will help you as it has helped me buttery smooth locked 60fps on ultra with no dips haven't tried it without Vsync so don't know if it improved the overall framerate yet but maybe you can let me know.
