Steps to Reproduce

1. It mostly happens after playing for about 15-30 minutes
2. but sometimes I even start the game and the lag spikes are already there.

Explanation

Hello,

after playing for about 15-30 minutes, the game suddenly gets extreme lag spikes that make it impossible to move or play. I have never had any FPS or lag issues in Dead by Daylight before.

My PC is very strong (AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8-core, Radeon RX 9070 XT, 32 GB DDR5 RAM) and I never have performance problems in any other game. During the lag spikes, my CPU and GPU usage drops to about 0-5%, and RAM usage is also very low.

What I have already tried:

• Reinstalled the game completely
• Reset my PC 3 times
• Updated GPU drivers to the latest version
• Used a wired LAN connection, VPN off
• Network tests show no problems

Nothing helped. Can you please look into this?
