Asset streaming lag spikes on Steam Deck/Linux
Some new function in the game is causing nigh unplayable performance for many linux (and some windows?) users, including me. The game takes noticeably longer to start, menus lag and show low resolution images before loading the high resolution backgrounds, legends show a textureless default model before loading their actual skin, and there are many lag spikes in game. The game can hang for multiple seconds at a time while picking up a gun. This even causes the game to desync with the server, causing shots and such to not register for a few seconds as the client catches up with the server. Until this is fixed, the game is nigh unplayable.
