    You're one of the few community managers that come out and actually talk with everyone David.  It does give some reassurance that things are being done.

    Some of the forum managers just post the same thing over and over again.  Copy, paste, and repeat.  You don't do that David.  Thank you.

    Really hope this fixes the performance issues with this game.

    with a GTX 1070 and an I7 4790 and 16GB RAM I feel I should be hitting 100FPS without any dips, but the frame time pacing on PC is insanely erratic no matter what fps you lock to.

    Having to play at 72FPS on a 144HZ monitor to avoid dips makes me sad...

    Hiu DadPhilly,

    There must be something seriously wrong with your system, or you're either playing at 1440p or 4k, because you shouldn't be getting only 70-80 FPS at 1080p.

    But for the following areas, it is normal to get FPS Dips, like:

     - When you first drop (this is normal, due to all the textures loading, while you're jet-packing across the map)

     - When you use scopes (also normal, I believe, as you are effectively increasing the 'draw distance' by zooming with a scope = This is counteracted by the reduction in mouse sensitivity when scoping, so the zooms don't feel sluggish).

    I have a CPU similar in performance to you, along with an Rx580 8Gb (so your GPU is better).

    With my 144Hz 1440p monitor, I cannot play at 1440P if I want high FPS (1440p resolution yields approx 70-80 FPS).

    So I play at 1080p Medium, to hit that 110-140FPS limit, depending on the area.

    So I ask again, what res are you playing at as I'm happy to help?
