Performance Drops Coincide with heavy spike in network traffic, maxing out windows resource monitor graph

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Performance Feedback
1

Issue Description:
I don’t know how to display FPS in-game, but I did notice that, whenever my frames dropped significantly, it coincided with a massive network traffic spike in my resource monitor. Overall performance, graphically, seems fine. All other resources max out at maybe 40% on my GPU or while loading on my SSD.

It does not seem to coincide with events in-game, either. Maybe when enemies spawn in in the background, but I can’t see that, obviously.

Attempted Solutions:
There are no solutions to reducing network traffic coming from Darktide

Platform:
Steam

PC Specifications:
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB
Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Ti
32GB Single-Channel DDR4 RAM

Yep i already noticed that during the beta and asked em to investigate this way, it seems, so much better than during the beta, but since the last update the issue is back.
Ther s bing memory leak too that you can fix for few games restarting pc …

Yeah, I’d like if this could at least be acknowledged. It’s definitely still happening and there’s no reasonable explanation.
