So when this will be fixed? You actually can't play continuously with this. I am forced to restart the game every few matches!

 

The lowest I had is... 36fps in menu. Laughable.

Okay I think I know what is causing this issue, are you using multiple monitors?

 

If so, do they have the same refresh rate or is that also different?

 

EDIT:

I've noticed that you are using Windows 11, which isn't officially supported as far I'm aware.

Do note that this could be the issue and that there is most likely no proper solution to this.

 

My expertise does not extend to this OS, nor (as far I am aware) does it for official support agents.

Hopefully, you can get help from those familiar with this OS, though I doubt there is much help you can get here for Windows 11.

 

I've also seen that you've already been going around with some other issues, probably the issue is on Microsoft's side.

Honestly, I'm not that knowledgeable about the OS in depth so maybe it just operates somewhat the same as Win10, though I can assume you weren't encountering this issue after upgrading?

I am using only one monitor.

 

This is happening on both windows 10 and 11. It makes not difference.

 

You can speed up this bug by going into the character selection and disconnect afterwards. Do this multiple times and the fps will drop by some amount.
