Performance has gotten worse since the latest patch

Before the performance "fix" I was just getting the occasional lag spike but now my game is having many long freezes and frequent stutters, and lower fps on some maps, even with low graphics, on PC. It's especially bad on the RPD map. Sometimes the game literally freezes for like 5 seconds and I completely lose where I am.

I have pretty much never had performance issues this bad and it's just crazy how the devs took like 3-4 weeks to push out a fix but it's literally just gotten worse, and there are so many new bugs too. And we are forced to play like this while the devs take their time releasing another patch.

    Yeah, on console (PS4), the lagspikes have returned when this double BP event began. Not as severe when RE was launched but still noticeable.

    I've noticed this on Xbox One as well.

    To be fair... are we surprised? No.

    I had slight hope for this patch and my game is running nearly the same after it. Very choppy and terrible fps. The only change I did notice was a drop for those awful & notorious lag-spikes that could last 2-4 seconds that used to happen every match, but now occur every few matches.

    Seemed like it was better for a day and then it returned to normal.

    I've experienced more freezing and crashing since the newest update. The Resident Evil map is completely unplayable for me. It's just like Badham around the time The Blight came out. Lag lag lag lag freeze crash ban. Some matches will be going pretty smoothly and then the game freezes and boots me out.
