Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

8.7.0 really hit performance

Really not sure what was changed to cause such a hit, but DbD has been performing horribly for me since the 8.7.0 update.

Prior to the update I played at a steady 90 FPS but now I sit around 85 and get HUGE framerate drops whenever anything happens. Getting hit by the killer, Dracula shapeshifting, completing a generator, etc. knocks me down to like 40 FPS and the game goes all choppy for a good few seconds.

I've tried lowering my graphics settings, lowering my FPS cap, using FSR, XESS, etc. but the FPS is still really spiky no matter what I try.

Pretty baffled considering the game doesn't look any better but somehow runs way worse after Steady Pulse dropped.
