New update killed performance (lengthy load times on boot/practice range, frequent lag spikes while in-game)

Season 0 played perfectly fine on my PC. Winter update had a lag spike every few matches, but was absolutely bearable. Now I take about four and a half minutes to reach the main menu, another two for the practice range, and get a spike in lag every two literal seconds. I played on Medium settings before but this is happening even with every individual display setting set to its lowest.

I'm not a PC wizard but I feel like this is more than just my hardware failing. Is anyone else having a similar issue?

everyone else is. trust me since this last update im takin forever to load into a game sometimes i load mins before the games end, i didnt notice any stutter my fps still fine but it just takes longer than usual

I'm having the exact same issue. I thought my SSD was starting to fail. GPU Drivers up to date, windows up to date, game files verified, restarted PC, nothing worked. Adjusted every graphics setting in Marvel Rivals, still nothing. Decided to test other games, literally zero stutters, but in MR now a stutter every few seconds. It's also a really bad stutter, like the whole game freezes for a second, meaning you miss inputs.

Additionally, my FPS and network info in games shows not drops or spikes. Hopefully the address this soon.

Yup, I reinstalled to try Thing and it took like nearly 10x as long to install shaders, then it took nearly a minute to load a match v like 10 seconds before. The difference is absurd.
