Linux performance?
I was really hyped about the update. Even in the changelog, it says there's a performance boost, but in reality, the opposite happened, at least for me. The performance is incredibly poor. I'm using Linux with Nvidia.

Certainly, things were much better before the update.

And about that DOTS Projector, I'm starting to think it doesn't work at all!? We haven't managed to detect a single ghost with it, not even once...

I don't think it's only a Linux issue. My friend is on Windows and after the update his game keeps stuttering horribly no matter the settings, making it unplayable.

On Linux Mint and the frame rate is awful now. Reduced settings to compensate. Was running fine before the update.
i get 25fps (if lucky,otherwise 4-5fps) on the new update, what a joke, had to download it on windows for the time being

Yup, and my PC is not that bad... 5600x + RTX 3070 and works like sh*t...

For example, the Demonologist have so much better graphic and runs soo smooth...

There is something wrong here. :(

Same here, if the devs bother to look at this:
- seems like the worst cases of it are happening on certain maps (two that I have tested, Tanglewood, Bleasdale)
- performance is generally poor, but there seem to be an ebb and flow where fps alternates between single digits and 30-ish
- there is a considerable amount of input lag somehow (think 1-10 seconds), unrelated to fps, randomly comes and goes
- on top of all that, the following items tank fps (on the mentioned two maps, more on this later): photo camera (if anyone is taking pictures nearby), video camera (during use), dots (sometimes), viewing camera feed in the truck (this is brutal).

Observation: there was one small map, Edgefield, which only exhibited the fps fluctuations and the input lag. I have no idea why.

I have turned anti aliasing, msaa and chromatic aberrations off in all cases.

My config should be more than enough to run this (32 gb ram, 3900x, 2080 super). Tried it with Proton experimental, GE 8.9.

Yup, and that's really bad because I like the game. I like to play it but with this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ performance its kinda impossible.
Also, my friends (who are playing on Windows) says that their performance is worst after the new update...

So, there is something really wrong about the game and its code.
Probably Incompetent developers.

I discovered a workaround for the issue, and it's been working satisfactorily for me. The game is running smoothly again with a high FPS.

I simply adjusted the textures from Full to Half.
