Yep similar problem here. When starting the game and joining the first lobby, the first few minutes are a literal slideshow. Any skills being used by me or around me make it worse. Then after a few minutes it improves, sometimes it even goes away completely, sometimes it just gets stuck at 100fps instead of 200. Not a stable 100fps either, just a total mess. I though my pc was dying but I am glad it’s not just me

Same thing here for years I’ve been playing on even ultra settings (I usually only do low) at a good 120-140 consistently no lag spikes no stuttering. but the last 2 months Its been unplayable. A lot of people in my friend group are having the same issue. One of them is actually a IT professional and he has a beast of a system. Yet he’s having the same issues. Does anyone have any answers for me on how to fix this? I’ve done everything on that page that gives you like 6 ways to fix stuff. none of them worked!

Hey!

I would like to report same problem, normaly i was playing ow with 144fps but after latest patch my game at the start of the game stars to lag rly badly. I need to always go to training and throw granades and stuff bc when i do it lags and then it fixes fps drops (like some textures need to load or idk) i am playing with nvidia rtx2080 and intel core i7-9700K, when i start the game my procesor is on 50% and my memory on 34% so i do not believe the problem is on our side.

Same here, for the first minute or so the game is extremely unstable but after that everything is just fine
