FPS issues post 2.0.0

I played six games to try and record all of the drops in FPS. I'm on a PS4 Slim, and I played as the killer every game. I noted "slight lag" when FPS was just choppy, and "major lag" when there were small freezes. I will list every game, but the most common occurrences of lag throughout every game are as follows:

Major FPS drops when starting a chase, ending a chase, searching a locker, completion of a generator, and having multiple survivors very close to you.

Slight FPS drops during long chases, while carrying survivors, being in open areas, when survivors change struggle phases on the hook, and when looking out a long distance from a high vantage point.

1ST GAME:
Trapper, Campbell's Chapel. Slight drops while inside chapel and circus area. Major drops when chasing and carrying survivors.

2ND GAME:
Trapper, Wretched Shop. Slight drops while standing on hilltops and during chases.

3RD GAME:
Huntress with Wolf Mask, Campbell's Chapel. Slight drops during hook struggling, generator completion, and inside the circus/chapel areas. Major drops when chasing/carrying survivors.

4TH GAME:
Nurse, Ironworks of Misery. Slight drops when looking out from the tower platforms. Otherwise a relatively smooth game.

5TH GAME:
Pig, The Game. Slight lag during chases and major lag when near multiple survivors.

6TH GAME:
Meyers, The Game. Slight lag during chases and carrying survivors.

Regular PS4
Doctor: all maps have significant slowdown and framerate drops, all times.

Trapper: Played only on Red Forest and The Game. severe framerate drops at all times, practically a slideshow. Especially noticeable when attacking.

Leatherface, all maps: moderate framerate drops.

Myers, all maps: nothing I noticed.

Playing survivor, all maps: haven't noticed anything.

PC (gtx 1070)
All maps
Survivor
Any killer present I think, but confirmed with Billy and Huntress
Getting hit for the first time with an attack. Getting hit subsequent times causes no issue. If someone else gets hit first it may or may not cause fps drop.

Shelter Woods
Killer and Survivor
Various (Freddy, Huntress, Wraith)
I've been having periodic fps issues on shelter woods since 2.0. Game will be smooth for a while then drop for a bit, then smooth again. Doesn't seem to be connected to any particular prop i'm looking in the direction of, but it did seem to get worse when the gates were powered.

PC
All maps
killer
It happens really anywhere when a lot of things are happening at once. I had to change my settings from ultra to medium to stop the fps drops.

To add to this, on PS4 (regular, not PRO) there's post match frame rates drops. I don't know what causes this. Also in the menu at times, the cursor is dropping in frame rates at times.

Shelter Woods definitely has some sort of issue. As survivor and killer. Overall playing killer has worse FPS problems.

I'd just love to get this locked in at 30 FPS. We're not asking for 40-60 FPS. We just want 30ish. And for it to never dip below 25 WITHOUT sacrificing graphics.

The art in this game is awesome. I love it. Lots of games run at 30+ FPS.

i dont know how are the config datas on console. But on PC it helps if you Play on Higher grafik to switch in the Gameusersettings the ScalabilityLevel=1-3 to ScalabilityLevel=0 even if all other Settings are on Ultra (3)
After this Change it runs on PC self with 2k grafik (Usersettings locked) with smooth FPS if your System can run this game in Ultra grafik.
If this is also an Option on Console, then Maybe it can fix the Problem if the ScalabilityLevel is standard higher then 0

Sometimes when i throw bottles as a clown, my FPS drops, including when the match is completed the FPS drop suverely. This goes with all other killers.

CONSOLE :XBOX ONE S

Well on XBOX ONE S I seem to have the biggest fps problems when using effect heavy killers like clown doctor, nurse, and all the time as Freddy (probably because how misty the dream world is).

These problems are really noticeable on swamp map, farm maps as well as the red forest map which has the rain fx.

Certain actions also cause frame rate drops when you kick a pallet as killer the pallet animation looks laggy and when the debris from the broken pallet is in the air it also leads to frame rate drops. Whenever a survivor starts spinning like they are doing a 360 I don't know why but for some reason it makes it feel weird (I don't know if this is possibly motion blur?) As well as when you find multiple survivors at once it makes the frame rate drop like crazy when they start running all at once.

Other things that cause a little bit of lag is when Michael Myers enters ew3 near you (Michael Myers also gets a couple frame rate issues when entering EW3) . Entering bloodlust tier 1 also seems to make your frames go down like crazy for a second or two it's really noticeable. Also to add to that if you enter bloodlust in the crop fields on a farm map say goodbye to whoever you're chasing because it's almost impossible to keep the chase up unless they are running in a straight line. When someone enters the dream world Freddy tends to have some drama drops as well. What I believe as well is that the fire fx from barrels lowers your frames as well if you're near it or looking in it's direction.

I almost never tend to get frame rate issues as survivor though most of the frame rate issues always happens as killer and like I stated it happens to effect heavy killers like Clown, Doctor , Freddy (too much mist) and sometimes even Nurse.

On another side note for some reason the main menu is always laggy on Xbox moving the cursor can sometimes be a big pain because it moves at normal speed then for whatever reason it slows down a lot then it speeds back up again.

PS4
Various maps (Badham Preschool, Coldwind, Crotus Prenn, etc)
Hag
Basically the whole match feels choppy. Placing down traps, getting close to survivors, hitting them, all feels choppy.

Various maps (MacMillan, Coldwind, Swamp)
Billy, Myers, Trapper, Wraith, Clown
Using powers, hitting Bloodlust Tier 1(!!!), Evil Within Tier 3 (especially bad near survivors or when combined with Bloodlust), Being close to survivors to engage chainsaws or hit them normally.

PC, Intel Core, i5-6200U CPU 2.30Ghz; GeForce 920MX (2gb)
Almost all maps, with huge drops of FPS since 2.0
Playing as survivor

PS4 Pro
All maps, worst are the dark ones Macmillan Estate, Swamp and Huntress forest map, mist offerings make it worst the more mist.
Billy chainsaw, nurse blink, doctor shock, pallets, turning camera, initiating a hit, pretty much anything you do will cause an FPS drop as killer, anykind of game loading also causes a drop.
As survivor its mostly noticable when the killer is about to attempt a hit on you, everything freezes and you can't see until you are hit. Areas with a lot of light also help the FPS drop.
Opening the store sets in the FPS drops until you restart the PS4 entirely, to which it "fixes" back to post 2.0 FPS. The store is the only trigger I could find.

Xbox One classic
All maps, all survivors.

MacMillan Estate
Playing as doctor. Fps drop like crazy when I change my stance during the chase. Also, when bloodlust go into level 2 fps drop as well
