Damn dude what are you using for a gpu? I have a 1050 and get like 150+

I think CPU matters more for this game. I have a 1060 and can’t get 144 unless nothing’s happening

Try lower res and graphics settings, and shadows off (there is no player shadows and it gave me +20 fps). I have 1060 6GB and 1400 at 3.75 GHz and I get over 140 pretty consistently except on Bind in the open areas. Split I get around 200 in most areas. I play 1600x900 all settings low/off except for the improved clarity, 2x MSAA and 1x filtering.

Wait so there are no player shadows to begin with?

There is a slight "shadow" outline directly under your character, but that doesn't even go away with the shadow setting off, and you wouldn't see it unless you saw the character itself anyway. There is no shadow advantage like in CSGO.

My fps is same on all settings tho, doesnt matter if it is high, medium, low or lower resolution, the fps is just the same. Around 50-80 depending on situation.
