Anybody else's game choking since Castlevania?

Is anybody else's game choking since the Castlevania update? The issue was also present during PTB but I didn't report on it expecting it would be fixed.

The loading of the game takes way longer. Especially the Initializing Shaders process. Once I'm in lobby the in-game models and images appear muddy and take longer to load. There are also unusual stutters during gameplay.

Am I alone in this or is anybody else having the same problem?

    Not personally but I've heard a few people I play with suffering from these kinds of issues, so it's not just you.

    Nope, but I have strong PC so even if the update did get worse performance I didnt notice it, so I am not the right judge to say if it got worse or not.

    I noticed a lot of stutters lately, especially from when some visual SFX are happening like gen getting regressed, singularity teleporting, billy entering overdrive etc.

    The loadup screen stutters and lags a lot. In-game it isn't any worse, but before I can see my killer for the first time, its kinda hell.

    I haven't noticed anything personally but its DBD so I'm not surprised. I'm gonna ask the obvious question here and assume you ARE on an ssd and not a hard drive?

    Not sure why shaders are compiling every time on start up. All 16 processor threads are maxing out on my rig

    It still takes ages to start up and the textures load slow until I play a couple of games. Same problem for my friend ever since Castlevania. 😕

    Some here, the game takes pretty long to start up and during the first couple of minutes I am plaguedby slowdowns and lags and even the character models oy load in slowly and sluggishly.

    After I wait for a while in the menues or after the first match it gets better, but it's still a slog and 100% started after the Castle Castlevania update. At first I thought that I had too many taps open (always true for me), but that wasn't the problem.

    Hi Akuma! Hope you've been well.

    Yes, it's the same. I can visually see my game choking on start up and it lags so much. Once I'm in lobby textures take some time to load and the game freezes when selecting different models but after playing some games it's back to "normal".
