Is anyone else suffering fps drop on PC?

I know fps issues are common on consoles,but as a PC player,I found this problem couple of days ago,it didnt appear before last week.


When I've launched DBD for about 40 minutes,the fps will drop suddenly,1 fps and just looks like a PPT.

For example,the game stays smooth at first but the screen suddenly freezes when I am on gen while I can hear the heartbeat approaching,it freezes like this for maybe 5-10 seconds and the next frozen scene I see is me lying on the ground.Then this scene will also remain for some seconds,next PPT I see is me on hook.Of course,this also happens when I play killer.


This almost makes my game unplayable,and the time it occurs is settled: It always starts after I've been launching DBD for about 40 minutes,never more than 45 minute.Yes I've counted the time.I cant even quit the game normally after the trial,choosing menu option is impossible with that horrible fps,all I can rely on is task manager.Quitting DBD by task manager and launch the game again,then everything goes smooth,but after another 40minutes count down,PPT and task manager again.


I've tried uninstall and reinstall DBD & steam ,doesn't work,I have no idea what's wrong with my game or my PC?My PC is not that good but it works well with DBD before,why suddenly…?Or is this something relating to the server,cuz I've seen that red high-ping sign on the top left for several times(ping in the lobby is always lower than 100).Also I'm confused about why it always happens after about 40 minutes.
