dynamic resolution not working

Hi,

I have this issue for a while now but this league it bothers me the most. Some sections in my maps experience huge fps drops even down to 5-10fps if the map is very juiced. Dynamic resolution and culling are enabled and set to a 60fps target framerate yet it never triggers.

I can even test this with sections with a lot of loot after the map is clear. I only get 45-50 fps whereas I would expect dynamic resolution to trigger to maintain 60fps. So it seems that it is disabled or simply not working even tho I had this setting enabled since it was released.

My specs are:
I7-6700K
GTX 1080Ti
32GB Ram

It's corpses and occasional fog/smoke/mist effects, but somehow it's very prominent only on certain locations.

Would be cool to have an option to turn them off but it will never happen.
Thoughts frequency of client modification overflows me tbh.
Yes, those might be what cause the fps issues. But I have this issue in general mapping always. It should be irrelevant what causes the fps to drop. Dynamic resolution should trigger regardless.

I did a fresh clean install of the game and tried around with dx11/vulcan instead of dx12 but the issue still persists. While there is a bit of dynamic resolution happening sometimes. Saying it works would be an overstatement. During mapping I can drop down to below 20fps. At this point I would rather play in a blurry mess if the gameplay was smooth.

The fact that I cannot smoothly play the endgame on a 1080Ti for over a year now is laughable. Especially considering I use the lowest settings possible for everything. I get a better performance in newer games easily.

While I plan to build a new pc in the next few months it would not surprise me if you have the same issues with current gen high end pcs. But you just notice it less.
I'm playing with a 3060ti and the same issue happens. Doesn't matter if I use Dx 11, 12, vulkan, Vsync on/off, fps cap on/off, the dynamic resolution just doesnt work and I'm getting 20fps in early maps. Trying to find a solution in forums, but I think I'll need to send an email to ggg.

I did not message the support yet as I figured I would eventually get an answer here. I feel you tho. Especially since you have considerably better hardware than I do. Maybe make a post if support can resolve this issue for you. I am just kind of done trying different settings and just stick to dx11. While it also has issues for me with lower average fps and more drops. It is still more playable than 12. On 12 my performance is good until a lot happens then it just goes to 5fps. But everything else is better.
