3 Files Failed to Validate

[TheGreatPOOBONG]

This has been happening to me over the past 2 months and my game runs TERRIBLY. Within the past week I have re validated this game 5 times and reinstalled it and 3 files keep needing to be reacquired..

Are you having trouble joining maps? The map starts to load, counter gets to zero and kicks back to main menu? That happened with me and it was always 3 files need validating.

Whats happening to me is MASSIVE slow down even on the lowest settings where I previously never had an issue. Like its to the point where the weapons don't even fire at a consistent rate they'll slow down the second someone looks at me. At that point I quit re-validate and the game will run fine for the rest of a session. When I quit and come back on the performance issues are back and there are 3 files that need to be reacquired again.

Post your PC specs on here.

Do you have game installed on a SSD or HDD?

Also depends on what settings you are running the game on depending on the settings. If you have the Nvidia app then try using that and letting the app optimise the settings for you and running it again.

With files installed I can run the GeForce recommended 55-60 fps occasional low dips but nothing crazy
With the files missing 16-72 on the lowest settings

I have the same problem, but I can play 30-50 mins then I'm kicked from the game back to the menu. I then check the integrity of the files and always 3 files need reacquiring.

How is this something EA hasn't fixed, its literally a faulty product

[Big Ted]

Anyone found a fix for this? I'm at a point where even using the all mighty "Low Specs Experience" on potato level settings doesn't fix the FPS drop/Input lag. Have yet to reacquire the 3 files, they just won't download.

no permanent fix, its just built into game. Dont let people say just redownload it. Or whatever there take. Its broken like half of this game. You shouldnt have to troubleshoot a AAA title game Developer..

[TheGreatPOOBONG]

Just report the product on the steam page they are selling a faulty product and refuse to fix it

I wound up reinstalling it 5 times in 3 days and suddenly it stopped being a PoS. Runs flawlessly all of the sudden.

check the install directory to look at the files that are being replaced.
It's probably files belonging to the EA anti-cheat, if so reinstalling the anti-cheat should fix it.
