[riodzy]

Performance regression noticed after a recent update.


System:

• CPU: i7-11700KF
• GPU: RTX 3060
• RAM: 32 GB (XMP enabled)
• 1080p / 144 Hz

---

Before the update:

• Stable ~150–160 FPS
• No custom configs or system tweaks
• Smooth and consistent frametimes

After the update:

• Average FPS ~100–110
• Frequent dips below 100
• Occasional spikes to 180–200
• Graphics settings mainly change GPU load, FPS remains mostly unchanged
• CPU and GPU usage both stay around 40–50%

---

Additional observation:
On newly updated bases (larger, more detailed):

• GPU load is higher
• FPS is better and more stable (140–160)

In older or more dynamic areas, FPS is lower despite lighter visuals.

Hardware and OS did not change.
The game previously ran smoother without any tweaks.
