Am I the only one with Doctors frame drop issue?
When i play doctor, everything is fine until the third gen is popped. Then my frames drop tremendously until the point where my game freezes for a few seconds. Im the only one on xbox with this issue it seems to. It only happens when i play doctor to. What can I do?

I believe some have mentioned that if you play for long periods of time on console than you console itself will overheat and your frame-rate will suffer as a result.
Doctor used to be very taxing on FPS for Console, but now people have reported less FPS drops since the new update. If you're experiencing this than your Xbox is either old, overheating, or the game itself is just not optimized for you for some reason?
Perhaps it's your settings that could be causing this, if you're playing on Ultra or High on console than that's obviously going to do a number on your FPS when playing any Killer, especially Doctor.
as for a solution
Personally, I don't have one, but I can direct you to the Support Team who would be more than happy to sort your issue out in the most direct way possible. Just submit a ticket and give them some detail on what happens when your FPS drops, why this could be happening (in your own opinion), etc.

Yeah, Doctor used to give that FPS issue before his rework but I believe some people still have issues with him despite the change, it just made it a lot better for people who did have this issue while some still do unfortunately.
Like I said though, you can contact support and see what they say on the matter. Also, no problem i'm glad I could help you out.

Which cosmetics are you using on Doctor? There is a bug at the moment where certain Doctor outfits can cause random frame drops.

Nope, my frames have also been pretty bad with doctor as well, played 2 games with him today and it just feels awful
I am using the hallowed blight cosmetic.

I have been having awful frame drops while playing as The Doctor on PS4 Pro. I use the Hallowed Blight head and body and his walking stick weapon.

That one is listed as one of the two that can cause frame issues. Try using his default outfit, and see if things improve.

That seems to also be one of the cosmetics that causes frame drop issues.
I don't understand how cosmetics can cause FPS issues but for some reason it does on The Doctor, so i'd refrain from using them until a patch comes out with the fix for said issue.
