My fps went back to normal and game freezes stopped happening when i uninstalled microsoft edge.
My settings were on the highest and I was having no significant frame drops. Stuck around 130fps, but ever since the update when they added grudge mark monsters it has had this weird stutter/jitter at random times. Like it slows me down and drops my frames to sub 30. People told me it was some mods, but I have removed all mods and played games as to where it still does it
Sadly uninstalling Edge didnāt give me any noticeable performance boost.
Tried everything, from lowering settings and even resolution, disabling Steam overlay, disabling mods, reinstalling the game, disabling Game Bar etcetc. Windowed, borderless, fullscreen, 4 or 6 worker threads, it all made no tangible difference.
Changing resolution changes nothing, the game for me maxes out at around 120 fps.
The only thing that really impacts performance, sadly, is the lighting category.
If I put all on lowest or off, I get a significant boost to 110 fps in the Keep (which usually hovers around 70-80 for me if I look into the main room). On highest, it dips to 77 fps.
Medium settings with 5 casting lights is almost the same: 80 fps.
Low settings with 1/3 lights: 83-85 fps. Barely any difference.
Enabling āLocal light shadow qualityā and āSun shadowsā at all simply chomps away 25-30 fps from your system. Probably because itās very CPU intensive (wish I could let my GPU handle this).
My rig should be beefy enough for this (i7-7700k @ 4.2 GHz, 32 GB DDR4, 2080 Super, installed on SSD) but the game just says ānoā.
Now, onto the actual test in a match:
Barely noticeable performance gains. I start with 100 fps which eventually dips to 80 without hordes and goes as low as mid 60s (and sometimes below 60) in hordes. Might as well just keep the lighting settings on or on high. If I play at max settings, I hover around 70-80 without hordes and low 60s fps (sometimes 50s or even 40s). So disabling those two settings will allow less <60 fps moments but will not result in higher fps per se. Just less dips into awful territory.
Hordes just absolutely kill performance. Your settings donāt really matter, resolution doesnāt matter, the game just wilts out and dies.
I remember this being not as bad a while ago (though hard to tell when, exactly - probably over 1 1/2 - 2 years) but something is surely amiss. It just runs poorly.
Please, if you can, do an optimisation patch, Fatshark. I donāt think weāve had one in the past 2 years, if at all. The game sorely needs it.

Weāve had one when the wastes came out actually, saved some disk space, and they sometimes include optimizations in their patches (like in the latest one).
Interesting. Performance for me has just gone one way and that one is down. 
Quick update to say Iām monitoring the performance complaints weāre receiving. Sorry I donāt have any immediate remedies for you.

I have tried disabling the mods, and my PC lacks all of those external programs now anyway. Iāll see what disabling the overlay would do for me soon.
