Is anyone else getting SIGNIFICANTLY worse performance at times with this new season? Up until today, i have had the game consistently locked at 117 fps, max graphics settings at 4k res. If there were a lot of enemies and explosions on screen, it would occasionally dip down to low 100s. But with this update today, on the leviathan whenever theres more than 3 enemies on screen and an explosion, my fps drops all the way down to the 20s or 30s!!! This isnt a hardware issue, as i'm not having issues with fps drops in other games, and it only started happening in D2 with the release of this update today. It's also not a temp issue, cpu and gpu are at 50 degrees C in a water loop together.
system specs:
i9-9900k
RTX 3080
32gb ddr4 3600mhz
Aorus Pro Wifi Z390
D2 installed on Samsung 970 EVO nvme drive

happening to me too, its not consistent where it happens but its often, just now was happening real bad in the tower I recently reinstalled windows bc I thought I had malware or something, tho I also had some weird frame drops in other games for me its not a frame rate dip, its just skipped frames, like 1500ms worth will just not draw and then it jumps to current, it freezes and jumps 3090 i7 32gb ram installed on nvme ssd also no heating issues running at 1440p max settings, no hdr, win 10

I appreciate you reporting this issue to us. We're aware that it's occurring and we're investigating.

I dont thinks it's just a PC problem as my ps5 is also doing this along with my PC. Before the update on my PC I was running 120fps at 2k with very little dips going to 110. Now it's the same as OP, going at 120fps all of a sudden 45fps. Went to try on my ps5 same thing, plays at 60 then all of a sudden like 12.

Probably too many assets and special effects they had to add in, resulting in your device crashing. I'm not an expert, but something that could potentially help at least a little is clearing your PC/Destiny 2 cached data (not your data files) or restarting/unplugging the device for a decent amount of time, then reopening the app possibly? Hope this helps a little. like I said, I'm not an expert at this or a certified moderator but I'm a console player and restarting my device always helps with the lag and stuff, and it SHOULD work for PC too.
