Dungeon team for early accounts

Hoping someone can sanity-check my reasoning before I commit to it. The difference only becomes obvious once you look at the frame times rather than the average.

I assumed it was a known issue, but I cannot find anyone else describing it. Any pointers appreciated, even partial ones.

Short version: region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

That fixed it for me, at least.

Adding to the above: do the cheap diagnostic first — it costs nothing and rules out half the causes.

Slightly different take — if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

The usual fix here is the averages hide the problem; look at the one percent lows instead.

In my testing, check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

Slightly different take — measure before and after, otherwise you are just guessing whether it helped.

Slightly different take — check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

Others may have a cleaner method.

This is the bit people miss — check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

That fixed it for me, at least.

For what it is worth, region and server load matter more than most guides acknowledge.

Report back once you have tried it.

Had the exact same issue. ignore the loudest advice; the boring answer is usually the correct one here.

Quick correction to the above: the community guide covers this better than I can, but the summary is to prioritise the basics first.

Slightly different take — it is almost always a setting rather than hardware, so try the free fixes before spending anything.

From experience, check whether an overlay is running before blaming the game itself.

Speaking as someone who got it wrong initially, give it a clean reinstall before assuming the hardware is at fault.
