With the PlanetSide Legacy Event Update from May 19th an issue with the Vortex MAX weapon was introduced. There is a noticable frame drop occuring after charging up and firing this weapon both or singlewise. It seems like also only charging up the vortex (without firing) is causing this too. It gets worse when there is the ZOE ability being used. The framerate is falling into single digit values over time after each charging/ shot. When switching the MAX loadout to another weapon the framerate is back to a playable level but not at the normal state which it was at before. I'm playing on ultra settings fullscreen at the resolution at 1080p (vsync off).
Same issue here; frame-rate drops from 100fps to 30fps within a few minutes of vortex usage. - continuous vortex usage slowly drops fps more and more - graphics on low - fullscreen windowed - AMD graphics card - occurred in amerish and vr training I also did a bit of testing in vr and found if you run your magazines down to 1 or 0 shots left, the fps drop seems to temporarily disappear. Charging them again will drop your fps back to however low they were before. Each vortex also seems to contribute to the fps drop independently (ie "fixing" a single vortex as per the above method will relieve you of half the fps drop).
Having the same problem, -Nvidia Gtx 1080ti -Full screen windowed This needs to be fixed ASAP, we can't use this weapon, thus we can't deal with enemy vehicle zergs.
