For over a month now, in random games I’ll go from 190 frames to 12 fps. It more commonly happens when I’m backfill in a game, especially on Paraiso map, but I’ve had it happen on other maps as well. Problem goes away when I restart my game and join a new match. I’m running an RTX 3070. Husband running a 4080 super is also getting it, and so are other stranger in games so this is not an isolated issue with me.
Yeah I posted this a while ago and got no response. They broke something again and it’ll be a month before we even hear something.
What worked for me, was to cap FPS outside of the game via Nvidia control panel to quite low compared to what i usually ran.
I used to play at 440 cap, Now i capped it to 390 in nvidia control panel and it feels ok. Also disabled reflex.
You could try capping it to 160 for example.
edit: never run into issue specifically with backfills. so thats something different probably.
My friend with this issue as of late thinks he fixed it with reg editor and modded nvdia drivers…
Would be interested to know more. I notice that whenever I get the bug my GPU temps drop from a normal of ~72 C down to 58C, its even worse this patch I am hitting 4FPS now when backfill bugged. So I think it has something to do with they messed up internal commands where backfill just utterly fails to tell the game to prioritize CPU/GPU usage. For some reason it fixes itself post game in the victory screen and POTG, temps and fps go back up to normal.

I have the same issue if I disconnect and rejoin a comp game, has happened twice in the last month or so. Huge stutters and frame drops to 10 fps if I rejoin the lobby.
