After this patch FPS drops are even worse than they were last week. I understand that the removal of dedicated full screen is one big factor, and not to mention 0 optimization patches in several years.
But it can’t be this bad, anyone else get worse FPS drops?
I7-10070f with a 3060. Not the strongest rig but other games run just fine at high settings getting a smooth 144 fps. I can’t even break 90 with low settings in 3v3 crucible without stutters and screen tears.

Edited by YourBoyZeeb: 8/14/2025 1:06:02 AMYup — game shows I’m getting 170 FPS, yet Steam’s FPS graph shows dips into the 30–40 FPS range every 3 seconds or so. Before yesterday, I was running a true 170 FPS without any dips. It’s really unfortunate because I was enjoying the DLC until this suddenly started happening. I know for a fact it’s not my PC — all drivers are updated (since Bungie mods love to default to “update your drivers”). This is 100% a frame pacing issue introduced with Edge of Fate, not a hardware or driver problem. I’m seeing reports of this even on RTX 5080 + 14900K rigs — so it’s clearly not a performance bottleneck. Here’s a link to many others experiencing the same thing, with videos showing the Steam FPS graphs: 🔗 https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/1mfvlwe/hitchingstuttering_post_edge_of_fate/ My specs: Ryzen 9800X3D RTX 3080 32GB DDR5 RAM 1440p BUNGO PLEASE fix this — the game is literally not fun to play when I’m micro-stuttering all over the place.
