Explanation
During matches, my framerate randomly drops and locks to a lower target. This is not a standard performance frame drop or hitch. The game behaves as if an artificial FPS limit or dynamic throttling is being applied mid-game.
The drop usually triggers after specific gameplay actions, such as using a Killer power, performing an interaction (e.g., hooking a survivor), or at complete random.
Normally, the game runs rock-solid at ~120 FPS (dipping no lower than 118 FPS). The target FPS setting in the options menu remains unchanged (120 FPS) while this low cap is actively occurring.
In the clip i sent, you can see this happening, because my game is running at smooth 120, shown at the top right, then randomly going down to 90. sometimes it goes all the way down to like 60 and even 30.
