No idea how they manage to bork framerate on a hotfix patch,. but here we are… Dropped frames and pauses for the first 3-5 minutes on any map as you move along. Worse with maps of Pox or darkness. Needs a hotfix for the hotfix.

Ok , i’ve figured it out. Thats shaders cache problem. After 1-2 missions evrything got fixed

Hotfix #37 made everything WAY worse, took things from unpleasant to unplayable.

With Path of Redemption came random stuttering and frame drops. But since this last hotfix, I can’t even play. Got undodge-ably sniped not 3 minutes into a game because the game locked up when I needed to dodge.

This game USED to have good performance. I’ve completely uninstalled my game, reinstalled, updated all video card drivers. I even reinstalled this game on a M.2 drive to make sure game data was loading at blistering read/write speeds. I have 46 GB of RAM and an RTX 3070 Ti.

Maybe start with the problem of all player characters being frozen and glitchy for a fraction of a second every time the mission start walking animation loads in. That ain’t normal.

Same issue, since last patch been having periodic microstutters every few seconds, used to be smooth as butter.

I don’t know whether it was the shader cache mentioned, or the fact that I followed the tip mentioned here:

But my framerate issues and random stutter seemed to dramatically improve after doing this.

I do still see characters loading into the mission walking animation looking bugged for a fraction of a second, though.

Yeah I HAD good performance.

Then I load into this game post-hotfix and I freeze horribly.

Just left the game. Not worth it.
