Random Framerate Issues

This has started since the latest update.

I know that the fps is capped at 60 on the main menu, but it almost seems like my framerate is capped since I cannot seem to go beyond 60-65 frames in-game. Before the latest update, I could easily manage 240-250 frames on Medium settings. The first time this happened was between a match - the game was running at 250 frames, and all of a sudden, the frames suddenly dropped to the mid-60s mid-game and refused to go beyond. My laptop is all fine internally, so throttling is out of the question since the temps are normal. I have seen multiple people on Reddit face this issue since the latest update, but I couldn’t find a solid solution.

My specs are:
11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz
16.0 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti (4 GB VRAM)

Other games work just fine.

Things I’ve tried:

  1. Ensuring I have the correct resolution option selected in video settings - 1920 x 1080 (144).
  2. Turning V-Sync off (and on just in case).
  3. Changing my settings in the Nvidia control panel, forcing the game to use my dedicated graphics card and removing any frame limiters.
  4. Changing my Windows options to force my game to my dedicated graphics card.
  5. Repairing the game files through Battle Net.
  6. All drivers are up-to-date as well.

The last time this happened, it automatically fixed itself and I followed the same steps. The only thing left for me to do is reinstall the game, but I highly doubt that’s gonna change anything. Please someone help me out - this is high-key frustrating me!
