weird FPS drop

don’t want to post this in bug reports yet, since I can’t identify the cause of it, but upon exiting thermal vision mode my FPS tanks to ten and then slowly climbs up again over the span of say twenty-thirty seconds.

it gets progressively worse as the match goes on, essentially encouraging me to not use my heat vision at all. it’s really annoying, and has actually cost me a match now where my frames plummeted because I had to switch to my thermals while fighting close-range with a bow, because a ft member dropped a smoke grenade.

has this been happening to anyone else, and does anyone have any solutions to it?

git gud

what?
