For some damn reason over the last year or so I get this random loss of FPS when I play from the CD based 42. Never ever has this problem come up before. But the game is unplayable. Ive tried reinstalling and sometimes it works. Here lately not so much. If I use the Origin version I have no problem except I cant play on Sundays because of RtR/SW expansions. Havent found a way to add those to the Origin version. Any help would be appreciated.
Fps loss problems,unplayable.

Try This. I have been having same trouble. Window power management some how got reset to power saver mode on my computer. I had to reset it to high performance. So far it fixed my problem. Find it under control panel.

Could be overheating causing fps loss - have you checked temps of graphics card and cpu? I had an issue of fps loss which was caused by build up of dust in the videocard - blowing out the dust with an air can fixed the problem.

Just download the expansions with those two links. That's what I did the last time I had been playing with origin.

My system is a i5-4670K, 16Gigs RAM, Gigabyte Radeaon r9-270X, Sound Blaster sound card and one HDD and 2 SSDs.
Ive checked temps they are pretty normal. I played an hour of Arma3 and 2 of Dayz Mod and did not drop fps in any unusual spots. Temps were normal. It's just in BF42. That game starts out fine then its just a slow decline of about 20 minutes.I'll try the power management thing and see if that helps.

1942 is a very old game. Assign only one core to it and let me know if that works for you.

I just did that aswell, thanks for the tip. I'll have a look this week if my lag/low fps is gone/ better.

Check your ati control center too. Make sure the settings are set to game defaults and not game override 16xAA and AF etc. The old refractor game engine never seemed to like anything over the 4-8x range. Also set the game resolution to match the default native resolution of your monitor. A lot of new monitors suffer fps/ millisecond drops in anything below their native format.

Just use the Origin BF194242. As said earlier, the expansion paks are free and just need to be downloaded and installed, and by default they will work without doing anything else. Problem solved. Origin BF1942 is cheap.

How I did it:
Make sure your account is an administrator, open the game, ctrl alt delete to bring up taskmanager, go to processes, right click on Bf1942 and click set affinity and then you can select which core you want it to run on.
P.S. If you are in game, hit ~ and type fps 1 in the console and it will show you your fps in the upper left corner.

I tired that as well with the single core. The thing that fixed the lag for me was the razor game boost. Run the game booster. I had the exact same issue. every 20 mins unplayable lag. I have ssd drive. I think it in the windows file system.

Well the Razor Booster seemed to work till BF totally crashed. I'm pretty sure that is a whole other problem that has nothing to do with the fps problem. This weekend ill redo the drive and try again.

Early SSD's seem to be quite crappy, I have already thrown 2 out that once formatted they have become basically useless.
And they were dying already, once wiped the drive it totally finished them, I could use them as storage, but as windows drives useless.
