Anyone experiencing horrendous FPS recently?

[Just Slavio | ELieUs]

Hi
As the title stands.
I didn't play for a hot minute (around 3 weeks I believe?) and currently fighting ground games are unplayable due to 50-45 fps drops during the game.
I experienced that before after installing drivers but this time not really anything changed on the system, and any tests didn't find anything wrong with the game installation or the system capabilities. The benchmark for the game gives me 100/100 pts as it used to as well. Just wondering if someone gets similar problem right now after recent drivers.

For the record the rig I run is Ryzen 5 3600/RTX 3060/32 RAM
Temps are in check and as good as ever. The game - as per usual what I seen - doesn't even use that much resources. And changing the settings doesn't do ♥♥♥♥.


EDIT/UPDATE:
A small update for anyone that might read this

So, I reinstalled the game. Didn't think that will do anything, but did it anyway.
I tested if it works and it worked, but, because I had vsync off. Accidentally and I don't really remember why I turned it off, but did so globally through NVidia settings. And when the vsync is off, the game works wonders. Full 60 all the time with maybe a 2 frames dip during supers (so at least for me a usual stuff. Nothing that you can feel without the frame counter on). I turned the vsync on again - or to be more precise I put the setting on default, so "Use the application settings" aaaaand the game was back to heavy slow me 48 FPS shenanigans.
Now, I have no idea what be the cause of the issue per say - I ALWAYS use vsync, I hate tearing with passion, and all other games run as per usual. I am also paranoid so made sure the PC is fine and all the stats shows that the PC is safe and sound.
It might either be something done by Capcom, or it may be something done by NVidia (the problem started either after I installed new GeForce drivers that came with launch of Starfield, and then I didn't play until there was some small patch for SF) but turning vsync completely seems to resolve the problem.
I still hope the problem will be gone completely after AKI patch... this Friday, or was it Thursday? For now that's what it is.
If anyone has the similar problems out of a sudden, let me know if the vsync settings works for you!

Not fps, but network lag. Last night I was playing World Tour, and was noticing that the game was stuttering and slowing down very much like when you play with someone whos lagging bad in ranked. My fps never dropped under 60, but when fighting bots in WT I was experiencing network lag. That did shock me a bit.

Yeah out of nowhere I'm getting horrible lag, fps drops, and slowdown non-stop, it's unplayable, I thought it was my connection but I tried training room offline and every graphics setting down to the lowest and there was no improvement when I used to have no trouble at all running it at the highest settings. This is after the game applied some very small patch before I booted up and then had to do its super long shader recompiling process so it seems like they definitely broke something.

Yeah, I went to play Tekken ranked, and got matched with a 30 ping 5 bar in 5 seconds, so it's something with this game

Horrible LAG between my friend and I on the same CITY.

Oh yeah there was something being applied! Well, as much as it sucks, good to hear it ain't just me :/ Guess it's time to wait for the next patch from the guys

So I wanted to just share my findings. So I was also having problems with random FPS drops. For months the game worked 60fps rock solid with Vsync, and suddenly my frame rate would drop to like 30-35fps out of nowhere for a couple of seconds and back to 60fps. People say it's vsync but I've had vsync all along and this never happened before. The settings were always the same. So obviously it was an nvidia update or game update perhaps AKI related. I tried all kinds of things, I mean, everything I could think of. I don't want to list them all but I seriously tried everything I found online. But that pesky drop would never go away. So I decided to just live with it. But then I thought most of my drops occurs when a slowdown happens or when there's some kind of effect. I don't know why but it never occurred to me to change the effects settings. I changed the special effects setting to low and tested extensively and now I don't have any frame rate drops anymore. Every other setting is at max except for shadow at normal. Played at 2K resolution with internal resolution at 5. I also use vsync so my drops were never vsync related, since before I tested with vsync off and it would still drop. So for now the random frame rate drop has stopped when I changed the special effects settings to low. I'll see if this is the final conclusion but so far no drops have occurred. My specs RTX 3060ti, Ryzen 5600, 16GB ram.

I'm noticing something completely different. Not network lag but it's like microstutters. ONLY in VERSUS/TRAINING

It's caused with a wired controller + steam + sf6. I can go into training mode, unplug the controller and the game feels amazing and stutterless with keyboard only.

But as soon as the controller is in every 4 seconds, or 10 seconds, or whatever random time, there's a instant fps drop to 1fps (for 1 frame or so) that the counter doesn't even notice (it goes from 60 to 57). But it's enough to mess up timings and make you drop a jab combo or mess up a link.

Well, my PC is crap, but the only problem with performance I have is in World Tour (or possibly even in Battle hub)

A new finding I had after contacting Capcom support (I was that desperate, but hey, the support is for something aye?)
Other than requesting all the data regarding my rig and configs, they - of course - sent me to the troubleshooting thread here on Steam, saying to read it even if I did before, but also, to especially try the section about exclusions in antivirus. Now, I'm a simple guy who uses Microsoft Defender, but I did as the guide said. To my surprise, that actually worked! I'm sitting now on rocksolid 60FPS on my standard settings - which is High preset no changes at all), even when I do supers and such - and those would usually drop to like 57. Now the FPS is 60 all the time, all arenas, all characters, all modes.
I replied to Capcom asking why exactly that would be the case. I don't know if I'll get any reply, but if so, I'll definitely post it here, seeing like from time to time new faces appear.

Maybe, if that's ok, we could make it a secondary tech thread, if it's fine with the admins?

What controller you're using?
And did you try changing the Steam controller settings?
It was quite a long time ago, but I remember having weird issues in fighting games back when I was using DS4 wired. I don't remember precisely the configuration, but fooling around with the Steam settings for controller helped.

I've noticed something like this. It's some sort of micro-stuttering, I think, as my FPS counter doesn't drop below 60 when it happens.

[Jackmoved]

It's wired controllers for me. I switched to Bluetooth and it's fine. Just sucks I need to charge the batteries now

Yes I played the last Call of Duty and it was horrendous. They added Nikie Minaj as a playable character.
