12 fps

I tried different settings, from a bit higher to upscale 77% with sharpness or no sharpness. Tried NIS, FSR, DLSS and OFF modes. Still experiencing FPS tanking.

Went into Keth. Started using the stampede skill and all of a sudden FPS tanked from 100 down to 40-45fps (sometimes lower ~20 briefly). This occurred when using abilities or when enemies spawned.

Really confused because it happened regardless of the graphic settings. So I just got a feeling to check my ping/ms. Sure enough, every single time I used an ability I saw the ping would skyrocket. Enemies spawn? Ping goes up. We are talking from 10-14ms to ~60 or 80+ ms. In a matter of a second or less.

I attempted to load into another server and found it helped a lot. It's not a fix. I just think the servers are struggling. Too many players are on the same servers. Maybe it's due to packet loss or other issues. I think at 100ms the game pauses to make sure you don't die. Although, maybe this is the issue. The game has massive spikes due to high player retention and causing players to hit 100ms and the game is trying to pause during the loading screen which causes conflict... freezing the computer and or game.

I don't actually know but that is my speculation. At first I thought it was just the graphical options. Although this seems to be very much a server side issue. Which makes me happy and sad at the same time. I can run the game fine but the game is now unplayable sometimes if too many people are on the same server(probably).
