after this latest patch (with BG reset+miniset cards in game), the client is in a terrible state performance wise.
the cpu load is inexplicably high (with values like 98-99% more often than not), the memory load also, the games lags and freezes at pretty much every action. it was at its worst (for me at least) right after the patch, but even now i have to restart the game from time to time cause the game simply starts using all of my pc’s resources…
on the other hand, my notebook did start to show its age, but before this patch that im talking about, it used to work just fine. yes, it was not the fastest gun in the west, but i could enjoy a night of HS without all this hassle.
ive noticed im not the only one voicing these issues and pcs are not the only problem where the game’s performance took this drop, mobile users also being vocal about it.
in the end, i dont get why a 11 year old game feels so poorly optimized tbh.
so, can we have at least an acknowledgement of the issue? And no, its not like u’ve posted in “known issues” that BG players report this game performance problem, its the whole client having this problem (i didnt even try BGs yet)
any response would be appreciated, ty.

I have an i9 processor with a RTX 4080 and 32 g of ram… and the game is crashing all the time.
Ever since season 10… it’s like the game is now in Beta or something.

the game is poorly optimized since forever, but ever this last patch things have been really bad… something must’ve happened for sure, the difference in performance is too significant and the amount of ppl saying it is much higher this time…
The main problem is that they don’t have any sort frame rate control. In options it just has “high” and “low” and the “high” just means uncapped.
The low is 30fps. This is what happens when you stop caring as a company and sole focus goes to “how much money can we get from them”
The little things that makes gamers (you’re paying customers) appreciate you is lost.
With that said, from my time using an GTX 1080 now an RTX 3060, with a CPU of in Intel i7-9700k to now a Ryzen 7 9700X i unwillingly say that i’ve never experienced a lot of the client issues people seem to have. But i do agree that there is a huge CPU usage spike with this game that should never occur with the little detail actually needed.
They commissioned a study a few years ago, to estimate the cost of rebuilding the game. They declined to go ahead.
meanwhile they sellin 1 card vs 35$ 
They don’t know how to fix their GD matchmaking let alone anything else in this game or their client.
it doenst happen all the time and it only started a few weeks ago
the game usualyl doesnt crash right away the cpu usage starts increasing past 10% until the game eventually freezes i managed to avoid losing games to this by keeping an eye on cpu usage and restarting the game after doing all my plays for the turn so the game has to burn my rope while i do
this started on emerald dream released and they are aware of this issue it was posted several times on reddit
