   Every guide I can find skips the part I am actually stuck on. It behaves as expected on one account and not on another, same device.

   Half the advice online is a year out of date, which is why I wanted a current thread. I will report back once I have tested it properly.

   The usual fix here is region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

   Good luck, it is a common snag.

   In my testing, nine times out of ten it is a driver or a background process, not the thing you suspect.

   The usual fix here is do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

   That fixed it for me, at least.

   Depends on your setup, but broadly give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

   For what it is worth, check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

   That fixed it for me, at least.

   Only partly related, but it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

   Counterpoint: do not copy someone else’s config wholesale — start from defaults and adjust to your own setup.

   Let us know which part worked.

   This comes up a lot, so: that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

    Quick correction to the above: the wiki number is theoretical; real results are always a bit lower.

    Not the answer you want, but temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.

    Same boat here. it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

    Not the answer you want, but the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

    Worth checking first: the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

    From experience, the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

    Worth a shot before anything drastic.
