FOR RETURNERS
You need to delete these temp files so you can get the new shaders from last update and fresh try

Press "Windows+R" Type or copy these and delete all the Contents you find ( don't include " )

"%localappdata%/D3DSCache"

these files for the all pc not only Battlefield 2042

"temp"
"%temp%"

(( some files are for opened and active programs so you won't be able to delete it you can skip the files that you can't delete Example[www.lifewire.com] ))

now go for cache file in Documents you find it here
C:\Users\*username*\Documents\Battlefield 2042\cache
( change user name with your pc user name )
delete all files there


now all you need to do is
1- launch Steam
2- Next, you can either right click the game in your Library, or click the gear icon from the game's Library page on the far right
3- From the drop down menu, select Properties...
4- Select the Local Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files
5- Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes
(( GUIDE FROM STEAM WITH PICTURES ))

IN GAME COMMANDS MAYBE HELP YOU
*you need to do the commands every time you open the game

You can copy the full file from me but keep in mind it will change your :

-resolution to native 1080p
-your mouse sensitivity for mine (change it to what u like )
-in game HUD colors and size ( i recommend to try it )
-sound volume ( i recommend this too )
you can copy it from Here[textdoc.co]

Now get in the game and hope you like it

Side note by me :
You may not like the game because of the weapons at first, because their attachments are closed and it is difficult to shoot and kill, but believe me when you open all the attachments of the weapons, you will really like it
NOTE
all the guide content is from random websites and guides i used to try while playing the game and i think the things i put in this guide is the best


my pc specs is

GTX 1660 Super
Ryzen 5 2600
16GB ram

and i have a good stable game + instant play on all the time
so it should help a lot of you

hope you enjoy the game and give it time before reviewing again it really in a good shape now

* i'll update the guide whenever i see something needs to be added *

Hi, happy to hear that my guide helped you, maybe it's new problem, glitches but i think deleting temp files from documents and doing fix files from steam might help you

hello i was playing with this config and all good my pc its a potato but i was getting 45-55 fps so not bad
but now when im playing the textures are not loading anymore and some weapons like the m5 are invisible
you know what could be the issue? thank you :ACO_Tomb:

between 60 to 80 and some maps jumps to 90s
but with portal servers like rush 128p goes down sometimes to 50-45

Hey, how much fps are you getting with that specs? I have a 3600 and a 2060s and strugles with the 60fps in any 128players map

didn't know about it, thanks for sharing it!

Hope this helps: %userprofile% will fill in the blanks for c:\users\name and jump straight after that. for example, from the run prompt I type cmd /c rmdir /s "%userprofile%\documents\battlefield 2042\cache" & pause

I don't see guides using this for some reason! I'd write my own, but I'm lazy.

welcome anytime!
about players first check if you closed cross-play from setting , open it again
and go for breakthrough it's always full of players, conquest not that fun so not many playing it , and try going to portal and in search setting set party slot to ANY so you can see FULL servers and join them you will wait a ltl queue but you will get full server
hope that helps!
