Framerate drop in motherbase or FOB (Usually at night)

[Insanity]

Hello, I have a minor but annoying issue where my framerate drops to as low as 50 most noticeable at night when at my own motherbase or infiltrating an FOB. It drops to 50 only when I'm on the first level and when I can see all the other levels in the distance, but when I move up closer it goes back to a solid 60fps. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and if there is a fix for it. I am playing on max settings 1080p with effects on high instead of extra.

Specs:
Gtx 970 with i7 2600k @3.4ghz
16GB Ram

if that didnt help im at a loss! have you tried reducing some graphics settings a bit? Heard it fixes this weird issue for some people. Maybe its the lights

Now that's a constructive comment! I have heard it was the lights before. Turning the graphics down helps a little but I still experience dips below 60 in the same area.

then you could turn off the fps counter

I suggest not going at that area.
game has intensive light and shadow rendering, deal with few FPS less or buy a better PC

Usually shadows are the most demanding in almost every game, so I always keep it low. It could be the lightning too, as there are a lot of light sources in FOBs, especially during the night.

Not trying to be an a$$hole or anything, but is it really too bad? Is it unplayable?

Thanks for the reply. It's honestly not unplayable it's just an annoying drop, as I'm used to playing most games over 60 fps. (I'm spoiled.) The only time when it really grinds my gears is when I'm infiltrating an FOB with 3 levels or more and THEN my fps drops when like I'm trying to snipe an enemy, then I have to correct my aim because it's no longer on 60 fps. That is when it affects my gameplay, I can only imagine if a defender joins the game it would be even worse. I'll try lowering shadows and lighting.

It´s the lighting setting , in extra it will drop framnerates to 50 in that area.
You will need a more powerfull cpu to have better framerates with that setting to the max.

it can drop about 10 FPS in certain areas, never really had a problem as those areas are not the ones I used during combat.

One such area is Base Development platform, Deck 1, right below that balcony that has 4 containers on it.
I do not enjoy FPS drop, but also I have no problem with it as I understand that there is no game in the world that has stable FPS on PC.
Even if you link 4 top class GPU's and put 2 CPU's with 16 threads each it will still drop sometime.....

and if FPS effects your gameplay you should try infiltrating by day as it demands a lot more from player than just a FPS counter

edit: ultra shadows trigger insane rendering options where each particle has it's own shadow

Yea I come from a cs and r6 background so imo FPS is very important. This game I can make an exception to frames as PVP isn't really the main part of this game.
