My wife just reminded me to try DX12 now that there has been a new patch. When she got the same issue, the Summer Solstice patch fixed it for her. When my mate had this problem, the big Quest Update fixed it for him.
Sure enough, fire up the game with DX12, no issues lol. The last patch fixed it for me. I’m currently running the game on high settings, around 85-90 FPS with my FPS capped at 90. During hordes I drop to around 60 FPS. GPU is sitting around 55-70% usage. Compared to nearly 90-100% usage before when I was getting 22 FPS… lmao.
So there is obviously something in your coding that’s causing these issues. I’ve have not downloaded anything new or patched/updated Windows or my GPU drivers since the last time you suggested it to me. There is a lot of threads about this just on this forum, and it seems to randomly happen to people for no reason. One patch everything is fine, next patch your game freezes every 10 seconds or so…
