INCREDIBLE FPS drops since recent update

Technical Support
1

Let me preface this by saying yes, I do stream, I use StreamLabs OBS to stream, and it has never been an issue before today.

I started playing today while streaming, and I was getting FPS drops down to 4fps for 30 seconds or more at a time until I died and respawned. Now I’m used to a lil frame stuttering here and there, but 4fps is something that I’ve never seen before. Like I said, this has never happened before today.

Do you think it’s the temperature issue from before, or maybe it’s not using your nVidia card (and defaulting to the Intel one)?

Pretty sure it’s not a temperature issue, because even when it IS running hot, I only used to drop to 30ish FPS. I’ve never seen it drop as low as 4 fps. I’m going to run a few more tests and I’ll report back.
