From this patch, there have been plenty of performance issues, going from freezes (mild to severe) to heavy audio distortion. Sometimes the freezes happen consecutively, impacting gameplay negatively in heated moments. With tools that Steam provided, I can confirm that it's solely the game causing this issue. Even though my pc is low/mid speced, it is hardly the origin of said issues. Freezes mostly occur during matches, although post match and main menus are not exempt. Here is a vod displaying said issues.

#Severe Performance Issues

The audio distortion seems to be related to buffering, but the FPS tanking happened recently. I can confirm the same too
i'm having the same issue as well. after this patch, every match is constantly lagging for me, making the game unplayable. what i've noticed is that it lags more during character selection, in the first rounds, or when switching sides. sometimes it runs fine after a couple of rounds, but it still freezes here and there.
this clip shows exactly what happens every time i play: https://www.twitch.tv/podus/clip/AmusedGiftedTrufflePipeHype-QIliYaibzUJ2Jqnv
same here it’s super frustrating. the stutters are bad enough in gunfights but the game also freezes every time we switch sides, so I can’t even select my character and have to restart the game. i’ve lost a ton of reputation points because of this. The end match screen is also a nightmare and i keep getting disconnected at the end of matches.
Really? Guys please tell me that you are using processor better than ryzen 5 5500U with IGPU because i have this specs and no issue at all, steady 70 fps all the time
ryzen 7 5700U, the FPS tank happens randomly, and once it occurs, the game went from 60 (vsync) down to 10, but usually when many elements occur
i5 12400F, the game was running smooth 300 fps+ before, now it is impossible to play
Since the recent update, I've been getting insane packet loss to all APAC servers. Where I'll be getting constant 25-90% packet loss the whole match. After the match with the packet loss concludes, my game will straight up just close on match conclusion! I've gotten a error once or twice, but most of the time it just closes automatically.
I'm honestly unsure what's causing this issue for me, but feels pretty bad that I simply can't play the game during certain times when really only apac games are going on.
That is unrelated to performance, probably your ISP or the server itself. Did you suffer performance issues too?
It might be a issue with VPN. If I have VPN on I have 60-70 ping and without VPN I have 20-30 ping.
While we are at this, the newly added escort maps suffer from poor performance, Eury Cave and Lava Factory.
Nvm, I still get random lag spikes that didn't happen before the update.
@tiny girder @ocean token @white sapphire i saw a thread on reddit depicting this same issue. it may be something with the anticheat thats somehow bugging some users while others are not
they claim to have fixed it by contacting support ingame
oh sorry, i thought it would tag everybody in this thread.
it's not as severe as recently, even during S1 when ACE being the culprit for other games, strinova was just fine 
rn using the standalone launcher, it's somehow running good?
wil be testing the steam version again later. either they fixed it of there was some sort of conflict with the steam version
i have so many questions, is it the ingame overlay, the client itself? what
Right, it could be the overlay. I will try it once the storm goes away
Just tested, overlay doesn't affect whether lag happens or not
seems to be working good so far on the steam version, but gonna try with obs later}
so this is what i've gathered so far: both the standalone and steam versions were lagging for me, and reinstalling the game or verifying the integrity of the files didn’t help. closing all programs and running only strinova made the game run without stuttering, but if i kept discord and obs open, it started to lag again. after updating to windows 11 to see if it would fix the problem, the game was still freezing, but less frequently. after contacting support, they sent me a test file, and using it seems to have fixed the freezing/stuttering. i'll do more testing later
Recently I've been going to internet cafe to play, I've tried strinova on gtx1650 super, rtx 3050, and rtx 4060. I still can't find the stutter or performance issues.
its something with the steam version imo
me when sniping at 40MS Ping with big packet loss and suddenly jump to 240ms
nvm it went back to doing that
for me, it’s still freezing sometimes. the only fix was the file they sent me, but i can’t use it anymore, so i’ll have to wait until they release a fix, hopefully
yeah, it's probably related to that
oh there is actually people with the same issues, this stutter always happen in 2nd half of the match and the rest of the matches I played after. The first half of the first match I played always perform normally 100-120 fps avg with no stutter or freeze, till picking of the 2nd half it started to stutter and freezing.
could have found the issue with sound stuttering, i had spatial audio enabled in high, tried disabling it. seems to have worked so far
I did try that, it didnt work at all
Holyfuckingshit how this game's optimization is just horrible like...
HOW CAN I PLAY WUTHERING WAVES JUST FINE WITH MINIMAL FPS DROPS
BUT THIS GAME? HOLY SHIT I CAN'T ANYMORE
DESPITE EVERYTHING ARE ALREADY LOWEST/OFF PRESETS, CAN'T EVEN PLAY NORMALLY, I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING THIS PERFORMANCE ISSUE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PATCH
ONLY THIS GAME THAT HOGS MY CPU AND GPU BUT CAN'T EVEN RUN DECENTLY HOLYSHIT
IT CAN'T FUCKING PROPERLY UTILIZE BOTH BECAUSE AT RANDOM TIMES IT FUCKING DROPS ITS USAGE, DAWG
MIND YOU THIS IS JUST A SANDBOX TPS GAME THAT REQUIRES LOW POLY COUNT YET IT FUCKING LAGS INSANELY BAD
I'M SORRY FOR LASHING OUT BUT HOLYSHIT I CAN'T FUCKING BEAR IT ANYMORE, NO FUCKING WAY THIS GOES FOR THE WHOLE FUCKING PATCH NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE, I BARELY PLAY RANKED ALREADY BECAUSE OF THIS HORRIBLE OPTIMIZATION
When ping spike => FPS DROPS
what’s your specs
I talked to the support for help with this, and after they gave me some poor advice(lower graphics and such) they gave me this file that straight up made the game run soo smoothly
after a day or so they made that file illegal on the anti cheat though...
maybe try contacting CS yourself(it does take like 2-3 days for them to actually take you seriously though)
this issue is still going on, a fellow player is also having this same problem

How is this still happening? There's tons of people with this issue still

devs would only care if we were chinese, now wait for the new season like a good foreigner
After the red packet event started
I am being imprissoned in a game with 45MS Ping but still some lag spikes
that enemy slows and became fast like a Scratched DVD Movie
Please show the actual ping
Dont show 45ms ping if the gameplay is like a Scratched DVD movie
The elimimation sound effect also also have 1.5 second delay
Snipers and Cielle cannot aim properly
There is nothing wrong with my rig the fps count in the fps counter is the FPS I set in the fps cap E.g. 200fps and the ping is 45ms without packet loss
I forgot I am an APAC player not a CN player so raising this concern doesnt make sense
Reached out cs and they gave me some files to replace/add .dll files. It somehow works, barely experience lagging but only able to savor it for 1 day because of sickness the next day lmfao.
low cpu to play outbreak, i have 11800 i7 i only averaging 170 fps on outbreak , outbreak is cpu intensive + ur ram 16gb too, prolly those dll files modify in game texture files thats why someone got detected by ACE kinda shitty kernel level ac anyway
you're forgetting the fact that most if not all of us only had the problem AFTER the cielle update, so it can only be poor optimization from something they changed/added that patch
Right, didn't had encountered this issue the previous patch, except the xmas update on 1st + few days, it was having spikes BUT it's not as worse as this Cielle update that it literally freezes
I wouldn't be here and complaining if I'm not even lagging, but here we are
Not just outbreak, all gamemodes
most of my friends that still play the game has better hardware or equivalent to mine so i wont know, none of us has issues now, the only issue was before this patch on rtx 4000 cards locks on 60-100 fps it got fixed on the cielle update
me when third world country:
Ace got updated and cs's patch files got invalidated, now it returns to run horribly again
they'l probably contact you again tomorrow or after tomorrow to test new files, they've been doing this to me now
@glass epoch hey mod can you do a @ here and ask people if they have had the bug fixed on the new update
So far it's been running smoothly, but will continue checking
Still has performance delay even I have 40-70 ms but can play Cielle and Snipers now properly
