**Issue Description:**  
When opening the game my fps drops to 40 and stutters like crazy, only fix I found is alt tabbing 3-5 times and waiting a bit, when running like normal I have stable 120 capped fps. Problem is when the fps drop happens inside a mission the game desyncs and I’m disconnected so I can’t just alt tab to fix it.  
the warning “The response from the Fatshark servers seems to be slow” also appears quite often but I’m not sure if it is related

**Attempted Solutions:**  
ray tracing is off

I’ve tried running the game on full screen and borderless and neither fix the issue

All the basic stuff, worker threads, driver update, fresh install,etc.

**Platform:**  
Microsoft Store

**PC Specifications:**

rtx 3070  
i5 12600k  
2x8 3600mhz of ram
