Framerate drops

Adjust your resolution and lower your graphical settings. If it's a framerate instability issue consider adding a framerate cap.

Same thing for me. The game used to run perfectly well with fps ranging from 70 to 90 fps. Now with the update I get heavy slowdowns every few seconds (Steam says 40 fps but I think it's even less) it only last a quarter of a second and the game is nice and fluid again.

Reducing the settings or capping framerate doesn't help either (unless I cap it under 40 fps perhaps, but C'mon man I have an i7 that is only 1 generation old and a 6Gb GTX 1060, I won't cap the game at 40 fps on a 1920x1080 display that's just madness).

So yeah the last update seems to mess up with the CPU flow for some configuration, this has to be fixed, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying and might be a game breaker in higher difficulties.

Didn't occur to me anymore now .....

I have a lower end CPU and a 1050 TI (which is slightly overclocked) considering how i am getting almost the same level of performance (at lower settings of course) you may need to just deal with lower settings.

Sure but the whole thing is that I had no problem at all before the last update and now it's a mess regardless of the settings, I even get framedrop during cinematics. It's just from the moment I start the game that there seem to be some kind of CPU spike usage/throttling issue. So yeah, I guess i'll have to do with that, I hope next updates will fix this issue that seems to be very specific to some configurations.

Resolution can also be an issue. Try 1600x900 or 1280x720 if the issue still persists.

Thanks for your help, but I know all of that I just comment to leave it out there for people to report if they have the same issue as this is a bug thread.
But really I never had any problems the game barely got below 60 fps even in the densest of melees with explosions going on, and two days ago after a week or so wthout playing I noticed these framerate drops going all the way down to 30-40 fps.

Either the game update messed up the game for my personnal PC cnfiguration (laptop on top of that so quite specific build) or an update messed up something with my computer CPU flows, and I don't see anything that could have caused that, but I'll investigate as this is the only thing i can do on my own.

But really it's not a performance problem, my configuration is well able to run the game (at least it was a week ago) it's an optimisation/fluid CPU flow issue. Whose side the problem is on, I don't know, even though it literally only does that since the last game update so I find it more likely.

i have the same issue i have trying to reduce my settings but it does not help. the only thing that have help me was to uninstall and install again and it wark fine and now it does the same thing again
