Severe FPS Drops & High CPU Usage Since "The Edge of Fate"

Hi everyone, Since the latest Destiny 2 update The Edge of Fate, I’ve been experiencing major performance issues that weren’t present before the patch. Specifically: [b]FPS Drops:[/b] Before the update, the game ran smoothly with stable FPS. Now I’m getting significant drops, especially in areas with a lot of effects or players. It feels noticeably more unstable. [b]High CPU Usage:[/b] I’m also seeing very high CPU usage, hovering around 90%, whereas before the update it was around 50%. This is abnormal for my system and seems to directly impact performance. [u]My system specs:[/u] [b]GPU:[/b] NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti [b]CPU:[/b] AMD Ryzen 5 5600X [b]RAM:[/b] 16 GB DDR4 [b]OS:[/b] Windows 11 (fully updated) Here’s what I’ve tried so far: - Made sure all drivers (GPU, chipset, etc.) are fully up to date - Reinstalled the game - Verified game files via Steam Unfortunately, none of this has resolved the issue. On top of that, I’m now experiencing a serious crash after around 5+ hours of playtime: the game completely freezes, with no error code. The screen locks up, the game stops responding, and I have to force close it via Task Manager, since even the whole PC becomes unresponsive for a while. Is anyone else experiencing similar problems? Has Bungie acknowledged this issue or provided any workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, SLeeVA

  • Yessir. Thanks for drawing more attention to this. Bad choppy frame rates, lowered graphics quality, frame time not looking right, It’s because of the new borderless window mode they made. it’s time to acknowledge this No amount of troubleshooting has given me any success however some have resolved the issue by playing in window mode , not the mode that says “fullscreen” Or Disabling fullscreen optimization in destiny game file settings
