    @crapsickles Check to see if you have the latest Nahimic driver installed. Early Nahimic drivers caused issues. If that doesn't help try disabling Nahimic. Another thing to try is to run the game with only one monitor. I think dual monitor may be an driver video issue as it seems to get better with video drivers updates.

Turning off my internet did not improve its performance. Lowering my graphics settings did not improve performance either.

I've attached my DxDiag. Like I said, I know my computer is not the best by any standard but prior to around the July patch I had no performance issues.

Thank you so much for sending to tech. 🙂

    Updating my audio driver helped - I am still not at the performance that it had before the patch, but it seemed to stabilize the FPS at around 30-40 - which is better than large framerate drops!
    I will update this thread if I get further issues, but I accepted your post as a solution... thank you!!! 🙂 🙂
