Same here, my specs are as follows: AMD ryzen 7 5800X 32 gigs ram G.skill 3600MHz 3070 aurus master kingston 2tb nvme ssd and it happens everywhere so I guess is the tether it self? It doesn't matter if there are enemies or not
-
Same here with a 3080

I'm also experiencing this on my PC. Seems very particular to situations where tether is deployed and many enemies are nearby and/or tethered. Certainly seems to get worse when ADS'd in on the tethered targets. MSI variant of 3080TI.

I can confirm. It's exactly the same on a 3080TI (since I had that card with current settings I've never had any fps drop). When the "effect" is visible on screen (a purple lingering effect on the edge of the area affected by deadfall) the fps goes down to like 20fps (from 160)

I hadn't noticed this till this season because i pretty much exclusively had mobius quiver on through all of witch queen, but yeah I experience the same thing and its a *very* noticeable drop- my game barely lags at any other time.
-
Bump! This is the only place I see these kinds of stutters & lag on a newly-built gaming PC (with more than sufficient specs).
-
Same for me, I’m on an Xbox Series X and my console straight up crashed because of overheating due to tether lag. I hope there is a fix soon because it makes tether very frustrating to use.

nice to know that its not just me. something with hunters void spec is rly messed up bc i also get random frame drops just chilling in the inventory when void spec equipped. i dont see these frame drops when im using stasis or solar but the second i swap to void i start to get weird drops and stutters. and the setup i have is GTX 1080, R7 3700X, 32GB of 3600MHz RAM and game is installed on my NVMe SSD the frame drops alone wouldn't be so bad but the input lag is -blam!- and makes aiming impossible bc it feels like using 100 DPI with massive delay i just hope Bungie fixes this since tether hunter has been my all time fave spec since launch of D2 "2nd being stasis spec"

I’m so happy I’m not the only one. I was bugging last night in shiro chi. Going from 200+ fps to 30 fps. I have a very good rig with a 3080 ti and all top end components and it’s bad. Almost to the point I thought my game would crash. Hopefully they are aware of this. I only noticed it last night as it was the first time I have used my hunter in season of the haunted. This is bad and needs to be recognized at a minimum by bungie before people start thinking it’s there pc.

Not just on PC, can confirm this issue on PS5 as well. As soon as a Tether hits, the FPS drops massively, especially when you ADS the tethered enemies/area.
