Has anyone had FPS issues when using other programs since new update?

I have a lower end pc but always can run the game on low on a stable 120 fps even when using things as being on a discord call

Since the newest update if I am on a discord call my frames tank from 120 fps to sometimes under 30 fps. has anyone else on PC been having this issue since the newest update but was previously fine? Being on a discord call has never caused performance to be like this.

AMD, Drivers have been updated x

Edit : nivida shaders dont effect the issue,

If I don't use discord game runs fine.

If I leave the discord call, relaunch the game while not in a discord call it will run fine. If I leave discord but don't relaunch the game performance issues will be persistent until relaunch.

If I join a discord call mid match after ive relaunched that match will continue to run fine, but as soon as the next match starts the FPS issues start to replicate again dipping all the way to under 30 at some points.

Shadow nerf to comms? (even tho they aint playing with me) 😂

    I am. I am on console though. It seems when there is Wesker on the board and when he comes close or both killers are in radius I drop to nothing. It isn’t the internet either .

    I figured out for me it was Wallpaper engine of all things causing the issue if discord was the program on second screen. all tho still blame dbd as wallpaper engine don't do that odd interaction with discord on any other game.

    The game constantly hangs for me now. I notice it happens when there's some sort of particle effect, like gens exploding, fog vials going off, Killer powers activating, etc. I haven't tried lowering the graphics yet but that might be in order.
