My husband is having an issue on his PC where the Mp starts off fine but as soon as he hits wave 4, the lag becomes unbearable. FPS goes from 60 to 5, it's been like this for 2 weeks now.

I have no issue on my laptop besides the 20-30 second start up connection to check DLC / store connection booting me and we do share the internet but I'm wireless and he's directly connected to the main line.

I've done everything Ic an think of - shut down anti-virus, opened up ports made sure the two way connections are open, shut down all back ground programs - repaired the game, repaired DLC, repaired Origin and still, he hits wave 4 and bam, FPS drops to 5.

It only happens on wave 4. could come in at wave 1 and be fine up to wave 4. Could come in at wave 3 and wave 4 everything screws up. I'ma  bit of a loss, he can't play at all the MP.

Any other suggestions? All drivers are up to date as well.

Has this always happened? The longer the match progresses, the more enemies there are, which increases the amount of processor power needed to process the multiple enemies' AI. 60 to 5 does seem like a sudden drop, however. Could you post your hardware specs?

Also, I'm nitpicking here, but lag and framedrops aren't the same thing. Lag refers to connection issues.

Not only does a more intense wave increase required cpu, it also requires more ram...if you don't have enough, it swaps out to the hard drive. You might bring up the task manager and check memory use before and during wave 4. Also, if the hard drive is being used more in wave 4, defrag can improve performance. What kind of hard drive setup do you use (not solid state I assume)? How much ram? How much video ram (changes how often textures need to load)?
