long hill
Game is installed on an SSD, running on a 13700F+RTX4070+32GB RAM
On any other random island, or on Tortuga, fps is 70-90 (on EPIC settings), but when travelling to Foothills the performance immediately drops to 10fps even on low settings, no DLSS, no spike in SSD usage, no spike in CPU usage, just a drop in fps and GPU usage.
I've even tried running it in windowed mode (720p and 1080p) on my 1440p monitor, that does not fix it, so it's clearly not a "graphics to high" or "resolution" issue.
Also tried running with an older Nvidia driver, same issue or worse.
what is happening?, do I need to wait 5h for the game to load the assets ?
If I start the game on a normal island perf is OK, but when moving to Foothills perf immediately drops and traveling back to base keeps the game at 10fps.
