so, i have a 4080/5800x3d/32gb ddr4, game on a NVME SSD and i was having almost the same issue plus low fps…
what i did to solve (at least 80%), was completely uninstall the game, delete all fatsharks folders and some other stuff

  • The one from %appdata% and the one from steam folders (if you have mods, its persistant)
  • Disabling all instances of Ray tracing (there’s a guide, can’t link right now, but you have to follow a step guide to disable from user_settings.ini in the %appdata% folder)
  • Removing MSI Afterburner (this one, for some reason, was loweing my fps and a lot)

My game was really crappy after the hotfix, like, really, but after those stuffs i’ve did, it become playable again, but its not near the performance i had prior to the hotfix, when the patch 13# dropped.
Try it and let me know
