Was fine until this evening. I am now getting MASSIVE frame drops as soon as player models appear in the character select lobby, load screen and in-game. It's actually unplayable for me right now. Weird thing is, it was fine for a few hours of playtime but then abruptly at the start of another Elimination match it decided to do this. A game restart didn't help.
I thought this might be a memory leak issue but Task Manager isn't showing any drastic use of memory or CPU, but my GPU usage according to MSi Afterburner was spiking up and down very rapidly. Very unusual.
Win10 64-Bit
8GB RAM
i7 4790k
GTX 980
Experiencing something very similar. To me, it feels like fighting in slow-motion, making it just impossible to get the deflect/parry/gb off in the right timing.
While this happends. The game runs around 150 fps, so the hardware is not the issue. This is the only game where i have problems.
Actually, when running video on my second monitor, i can even make that play slow-motion when exiting the game (while it tries to exit the program). Something is very wrong with this game in the core. Hope they fix it soon. Loosing too many fights due to game-client lagg.
Good thing i didn't pay for it. Only play when friends are online because it is so god damn annoying.
(One note is that my GTX 1070 is running at 99% GPU usage all the time, using lots of watts, even when idling in the game menu, but to be honest, didn't expect anything less from Ubisoft and their console ports)
