Massive Performance and Optimization Issues Since Last Major Patch

[shinfo]

Has there been any word on a fix or comments on this? Is this happening to anyone else?

My specs are:

• 7900xt (latest driver update)
• 5800x3D
• 64gb DDR4 RAM

Issue:

While playing, I constantly get frame drops and stuttering issues when compared to previous patches and versions of the game. I go from 200 FPS to 30 FPS with an increase in the amount of time it takes to develop the next frame constantly. This happens during team fights, looking at new graphically intense areas of the map, and when I move my mouse too quickly to look at something else/get away. I have had one full system crash and one game crash in the past week.

Attempts to resolve:

I have played with video settings, everything from no upscaling to different versions of FSR and quality settings. Changing GFX settings does not help. Verifying game files brings no changes. Changing from DX11 to Vulkan sees no change.

Any ideas?

I don't believe there has been any comment on this, but I have lost about 50% of my fps due to the latest patch, and so have all my friends. If I go to Explore NYC, I get all my fps, fine while ziplining into the lane, but then the second the enemies are seen it just goes downhill from there. I have tried many fixes, but yeah it definitely seems like the optimization is horrible this patch. Literally almost unplayable, and I'm not even on Windows 11, I can only imagine the issues there.

I also have this issue. The frames will randomly drop from 160fps to 20fps and the only fix is restarting the game.

One thing I noticed is that since last patch, whenever deadlock is open, it will constantly be using ~50% of my available RAM ( 32gb). Even when the fps drops, it goes up a little but stays around 16bg in use.

I have tried every trick I can find but it still happens like every 1-2 games.

Me and my friend are also having this issue. I started having performance issues after venator was added and my friends performance has become pretty much unplayable. Hope this thread is seen and it can get fixed.
