[PC] Multiple Reports: FPS Drops and Frame Pacing Issues Since Sept. 1
Platform: PC / Steam
CPU: Intel Core i5-11400
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
RAM: 32 GB
OS: Windows 11
Since around September 1, 2026, my FPS periodically drops from a stable capped 140 FPS to around 90 FPS for several seconds, then returns to normal.
The game feels much more sluggish than the FPS counter suggests, almost like 60 FPS, so this may be a frame pacing issue rather than a normal performance drop. The issue started suddenly even though I did not change my graphics settings.
I have already tried restarting the PC, verifying the game files, disabling overlays and Instant Replay, checking the video settings, and closing background applications, but the issue persists.
Other players have reported an almost identical issue beginning on the same day. Please investigate.
