FPS drops midway through the second game, every time

[tonyplus]

My typical FPS is in the 100-150 range. Every time I play deadlock, the first match is completely fine. About 15-35 minutes through the second game, the FPS drops suddenly to 10-20. Input lag also increases. I am forced to restart my client mid match to fix the issue and disrupt the game. By restarting my client, the performance is perfectly fine for ~one game, then sudden FPS drop occurs again. These performance issues have lasted for at least the last 6 weeks, and no patch has fixed them. This issue persists on vulkan and dx11.

Have you tried turning affinity off to the last 4 cores of the CPU? The E-Cores are quite annoying I have the same CPU. I get a 50fps maximum boost to my average FPS when I do this. It should help with your maximum and maybe stutters, for me if I keep getting random stutters I have to sign out of windows and back in (clears RAM) and then it's good for another day. You can also straight up disable the E-Cores in the bios but you will lose overall performance as all your background tasks will be on P cores then.
