Issue Description (Required):
My GPU is a 3080ti, my CPU is a 5600x, and I have an SSD. This configuration works perfectly for other games, but after launching Dark Tide, the GPU utilization keeps fluctuating around 20%. The frame rate is a mere 20 frames or so, I’ve tried everything, including tweaking DLSS and FSR, and ray tracing, but the GPU utilization just won’t improve. I even tried talking to multiple AIs to find clues, but all to no avail. And then I discovered a bunch of other unfortunate people on Reddit in the same boat.
