Love Sakhal but the frames are AWFUL

[boggle 58]

Been playing for many many years. The last 4 years I've been playing on Linux (Pop_OS) without issue with proton. Since the update, in Sakhal, the frames are awful. Stuttering even in the wilderness. My frames drop from 130-200 down to 50 and back up. The game is nearly unplayable. I've got my settings at DNSL levels (everything is at lowest). I've seen a few posts on reddit too so I doubt it's because I'm on Linux.

Game and OS on same SSD

 

Anyone else experiencing shit frames? This is the worst I've seen this since EARLY alpha, and my hardware was so much worse back then. Really thought we were past this over a decade later....

I don't play Sakhal, but I've also noticed a drop in frame rate on the Chernarus+ map, and sometimes even a bit of stuttering.

I've read that they have increased the draw distance so the new "poor" setting is what used to be "medium" for example. So yeah that might be felt across all maps. 

 

Hopefully they resolve this quickly. Really like Sakhal but it's almost unplayable for me. 

 

I really thought it looked stupid, but it is an actual challenge that requires a little thinking. It's definitely a struggle to stay warm and find enough food. But I've not died of starvation yet even though the forums and youtubers talk about how veteran players will be dying a lot at first. It's really not THAT bad. Just need to utilize some of the crafting recipes and be smart (rags are easy to get, knives are not - use improvised hand wraps to gather and break sticks rather than burning up knives, for example). 

I will say that not having hunting stands sucks for finding that loot and as a getaway from bears and wolves.
