the amount of enemies during swarms is just ridiculous, and it's affecting performance badly, even on a decent setup, hope an update for this drops sooner.

Hello @thorn forge Thanks for reaching out!

Could you please confirm whether you experience lagging or freezing when there are too many enemies on screen?

Also, could you share your full PC specifications with us?

Sure, I'm on an Rtx 5070 ti and an i7-14700k with 64 gb of Ram and I usally run this game 1440p at 120 FPS cap in almost every senario, but whenever there is a swarm or lot of enemies on screen the FPS drop drastically from 120 to almost 50, I actually never experienced lag or freeze only the FPS drop, feels like the game needs a bit more optimisation and maybe some balance to the amount of incoming enemies.

Thanks for providing us with more details!
If the issue happens again, could you please record it that includes the FPS (frames per second) counter?

You can enable this in Steam by going to **Steam **> **Settings **> In-Game, then choosing your preferred position from the In-game FPS counter dropdown. For better visibility, you can also enable the High contrast color option.

We really appreciate your help, and we’ll look forward to your updated video — thank you! goatlove2

the issue is persistent whenever there're lot of enemies on screen and I mean A LOT, you can notice the FPS dropping to 40s and 30s from 120 during swarms, I've read in fgs-developer-diary channel that the devs are working on optimization but no update yet.
