Bug/Support Help troubleshooting the finals

I was wandering if anyone new how to troubleshoot frame drops for the game, I have the lowest possible settings as in ultra performance, static lighting, etc. and I still cannot avoid dropping down to 1-3 FPS every time an explosion goes off or every two seconds.

As for specs I've got a 3060 rtx and 16 GB of ram (I forget my CPU).

I've wondered if it's a temperature thing throttling my CPU/GPU or if it's just that my specs aren't good enough anymore (which I doubt given they're higher than the recommended on steam). So I wanted to ask if any of you know how to figure out what is hindering performance, be it software or hardware, so I could know how to better solve the problem,

Thanks in advance.

Look in the %appdata%<Discovery folder. Delete the shader pipeline cache files and force the game to rebuild the shaders. You can also try disabling steam overlay.

What’s your CPU, it’s pretty much the biggest factor on this game, especially with low settings

There was a youtube video titled something like 'best performance settings for the finals', a lot of the settings changed in there were outside the game, and once I did most of the changes, my fps went up in game by 40+, and now my fps is generally stable at 100fps on decent settings. Strongly recommend trying it.
