GTX 1080 not good enough anymore after recent engine update ?

Hello, community,

I'm reaching out today because I've been experiencing significant performance problems in my favorite game since the latest engine update, and I'm hoping you can help me find a solution. Before this update, I could enjoy the game without any issues and even run highly juiced maps with stable FPS. Even in the most demanding situations, my FPS would only occasionally drop to around 40.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Details on problems you're experiencing, and if it's occurring when certain skills are being used, or in certain areas/situations.

As soon as the density of the maps is somewhat higher, my FPS drops to an average of 10-20 FPS, making it impossible to use Delirium orbs, for example. Juicing is not possible at all. At times, the game feels like a slideshow.

Computer specs: CPU, GPU, RAM.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: GTX 1080
RAM: 16GB DDR4

Game Settings: Renderer, Triple Buffering, Multithreading, etc. And if changing any of these helps.

I'm currently using DirectX11 as the renderer since other options are non-functional. I've experimented with both Triple-Buffering (enabled and disabled) but found that enabling it provides slightly better performance. Multithreading is currently enabled, and turning it off leads to a noticeable decrease in performance.

Videos or screenshots of your client when it's happening, with performance graphs on (F1 in-game).

Here's a screenshot of a 70% packsize Delirium Map after joining my hideout (averaging around 20 FPS/ Settings as mentioned above (using DX11)):

And here's a screenshot while standing still in my hideout (around 40 FPS):

Hey Atimar549 !

Thank you very much for your response and the tip; however, it didn't help. I just tested a 40% Delirium map, with controllers disabled for half of the map and enabled for the other half. Unfortunately, in both cases, the FPS drops to 10-20 FPS when encountering larger packs, sadly.

Any additional tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
