EDIT: this has now been fixed for me, it only took like A MONTH for them to fix it :|

changed my review to negative. recent patch has caused severe and constant stutters. it seems to be packet loss but not sure. the game ran just fan before the patch on high settings and now switching to low doesnt seem to help. my gpu, memory and cpu usage doesnt spike or anything when these happen as well. half the time nothing comes up but the over half? i get packet loss, jitter and other symbols showing up in the corner of my screen, all red. my internet speeds seem to be stable and fast when tested. im on oceania servers since im australian. after about 4 matches, the stutters will slowly get better and less frequent until finally, they dont exist. if i restart my game or start it up the next game? its back just as it was before and ive got to "warm up" the game again. this NEEDS to be fixed and i know for a fact its not an issue on my side.

im writting this here in a review as they seem to ignore their bug channel on discord and when i mention in the finals discord anywhere else im told its "time to upgrade" despite it having obvious signs to it being network related. here, it might not be so easy to ignore and potential players reading this should know
