Performance issues during a match

[castellanoswzm]

After reading the forum, I saw quite a few posts about poor performance after the update. I've been playing since the beginning of the "Old Gods" update, and this still hasn't been fixed i suppose.

I start the game with a stable framerate of 158 fps (coz it's capped by Nvidia Panel), but after 15-20 minutes, I'm down to around 100 fps, but it's not smooth - it feels like I'm actually getting 30 fps, even though the in-game performance stats shows a stagnant 90-100.

I've tried reinstalling drivers, clearing the cache, reinstalling the game, using a config file, changing graphics settings, and switching to Vulkan - nothing works. This issue has absolutely nothing to do with graphics settings. Whether I'm on medium-high or anything else, I get exactly the same fps.

Tell me, are the developers already aware of this problem, or is it something niche that they're not going to bother with? I was just hoping it would get fixed because I simply can't play the game like this.

I've seen one dev looking into this kind of issues, for example here: https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/massive-performance-issues-vulkan-and-dx11.109063/

He's been asking for help with extra info to isolate the issues.

I've seen MANY people having different issues sort of related. Personally I don't suffer any "FPS drops", my game just literally freezes for 1-2 seconds, sometimes as often as every second, others not as often. Usually happens like 10-20 into the game and fixes for a 1-2 min after a game restart.

I'm also certain it's not hardware related as I've seen people with high-end rigs (AMD or NVidia) having the issue as well.

And, truly nothing on my end has fixed it. Last thing I tried was removing the Nvidia drivers with DDU and clearing cache, reinstalling the drivers... Same thing after all that.
