You are absolutely correct. This was broken in the last BF2 update. I installed new drivers to try and fix it to no avail. These CLOWNS at EA/DICE pushed this update out knowing damn well what they were breaking. Either that or they are just lazy and incompetent and didn't test on a rig running DX12 which is just as absurd. Get your head out of your * EA/DICE.

New october patch didn`t change the situation with dx12 mode. Still the same thing happening. It is enough to launch any match, throw grenade and the game crushed back to desktop((((. At least tell us you working on this problem. PLEASE!!!

Same here: i7 7800xx - RTX 2070 - 32GB Ram - SSDs - Win10.
Tried deleting the folder in documents...game FPS went up for a couple of minutes...still at 20-40FPS.
Before it was at 6-10 fps. GPU all the time at 100% (not overheating, water cooled)
I have the feeling, that RTX was somehow enabled...as mostly NVIDIA RTX Cards seem to have those DX12 problems recently.

Latest SWBF II update: No Cure after optimizing shaders...
DX11 (4GB VRAM) --> 60FPS capped
DX12 (8GB VRAM) --> stalls the GFX Card down to 1FPS within seconds
Did anyone try a fresh SWBF II install with an RTX Card?

Hey,
I just installed the game overnight (3700x, rtx2070super, 16GB Ram, nvme ssd, 1080p), and the problem still exist on DX12. Funny thing is, I only encounter the issue when I'm on an area where there's a lot of light/reflection going on. When I turn to a wall w/o any supposed RTX feature, 60 FPS constant (V-Sync enabled). So I think this kind of confirms the theory behind RTX making the engine crap itself. DxDiag attached. Oh, BFV works fine without any problem on PCMASTERRACE settings. O.o
Cheers

I don't have an RTX but playing the campaign on DX12 with 1070 was frustrating, kept being blocked by bugs. Then the mission over Naboo would be mostly black screen. Switched to DX11 to make it work. Still lots of other bugs like floating bodies and bodies that keep dying again and again. Shame cause otherwise the campaign is great.
Scary to see how many issues they have with that game years after launch.

I have a RTX 3080 FE and this game runs like absolute garbage on DX12.... As low as 1 to 2 FPS!! Wow what is going on EA? I may get a refund this is ridiculous.
