   Posting from the other side of a very long troubleshooting session. What actually changed my results was slowing down and reading the tooltips properly instead of rushing.

   Hopefully this saves someone else the afternoon it cost me.

   Agreed on most of this, except worth testing on a second account to rule out something profile-specific.

   Report back once you have tried it.

   Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

   Report back once you have tried it.

   Agreed on most of this, except that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

   Let us know which part worked.

   Quick correction to the above: the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

   From experience, the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

   Counterpoint: give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.

   Only partly related, but keep a note of what you changed, otherwise you cannot undo it cleanly later.

   Others may have a cleaner method.

   This is the bit people miss — do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

   Worth a shot before anything drastic.

    Only partly related, but the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

    Had the exact same issue. the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

    Same boat here. region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

    Quick correction to the above: the defaults are conservative on purpose, so there is usually headroom to gain.

    From experience, measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

    Short version: measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

    That fixed it for me, at least.

    Counterpoint: check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

    Not the answer you want, but it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

    I went through this last month. that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

    This comes up a lot, so: the trick is to change one thing at a time and actually note the result before touching anything else.

    Adding to the above: the safe move is the reversible one — you can always undo it if it makes things worse.
