@JeanVW @Gummingtons @MadPeachyTV @oaana and @DeMosterdsoep I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I've been swamped and haven't had time to properly troubleshoot, although I've been reading this and other threads and looking for anything useful.
On that note, someone posted in the low fps master thread (a bit different from this one, since it started out about a consistent low fps regardless of what players did in-game) posted that installing a 2020 Realtek LAN driver fixed their issue. Read fix attempt 5 here:
Obviously, this only works if you have a Realtek LAN chip. When uninstalling and reinstalling, be sure to take your computer offline, so Windows doesn't download what it thinks is a suitable driver before you have a chance to install the new one. If you want to be extra careful, you should download the latest LAN driver from the manufacturer of your motherboard or laptop as well. That way, if there's a problem with the newest driver offered by Realtek, you can install the other one instead.
Whether this works or not, please post back if you try it. And if it does work for you, please post in that thread as well, so people affected by that issue know it's worth trying. (And go give that person some XP for their hard work. They deserve it.)
I have a Z170X Ultra Gaming motherboard and I looked it up, that one uses Intel LAN Drivers, the latest is from 2020, mine was older, so fingers crossed!
