Game Unplayable since Season 1 update.
My game now constantly stutters, freezes and drops fps (when loading character models). It did not used to do this before, only stuttering a handful of times on startup which usually fixed themselves before i got into a match.
My fps usually reaches 305-400, but can go so low as to say its at 0 at times. The game takes around 3-4 minutes to "compiled shaders" now, which used to take about 30 seconds before the update. Even the epilepsy warning screen takes a good minute or two to load. I don't understand what i've done wrong since the update? I tried to enter a match, and the "MATCH FOUND" pop-up stayed on my screen well into the loading screen, and i didn't even load into the game before i was kicked out for inactivity.
I've tried almost everything. Updating my shaders, cleaning my PC, and optimising both the game and my pc overall, but nothing fixes it. The only thing i haven't done yet is uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I also suspected it was a Memory issue, so i plan on installing more tomorrow, but if neither of those solutions work, i am truly lost.
If it helps to know, i used an optimisation mod before the update, which i imagine doesn't work anymore since mods were disabled.
This is truly upsetting to me. I've been waiting for this game since BETA. And now it literally cannot be played on my computer.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
