Good event but please fix the game as the fps drop is still on going on most of the maps.

This is a good event but one day for each mission is difficult

Didn't notice anything of the sort and I play multiple games at once besides CF (WoW and such) Maybe it's finally time for a HW upgrade. Check your drivers if they don't cause it.

Great choice in crates 😁, great event.

i believe there are developers behind this game, so next time do your analysis and choose maps that people are usually playing not **** like factory that was made by 3 year old and GR have advantage. TY

     Everyone got the same problem. I will imagine that with an I9 K-11th generation processor and a 3070 TI with 16GB of DDR 5 you wold easily play this game. On top of that I have an 360 HZ monitor as well. Maybe you play only ZM or HM. Go on cat area on the S&D Map Black Widow and you will see what I mean and what`s everyone else is experiencing on the game.

From my personal experience the game engine works well with constant FPS on GPU that use dedicated VRAM on at least 256 bits ( work ok on 192 bits but still have some FPS drop in some scenario )

Entry level GPU usually have VRAM bandwidth at 128 bits (*old entry level GPU as GTX/RTX XX50 and XX60 even some RTX 4060 seems to use 128 bits )

My personal tested : GTX 1070 with 8 GB at 256 bits and RTX 2070 with 8 GB at 256 bits - game stay at 200-220 FPS 90% of time , some minor drops are almost not visible ( usually on TD / SD ) , as for MM and ZM may drop a little more around 150 FPS only when are many MM/ZM on map vs a GTX 1060 6 GB RAM at 128 bits who can bearly sustain 150 FPS (max 180 FPS) constant - and drop to 90 FPS and back to 150-180 a lot of times / game.
* also other GPU driver option can have a negative impact , as DRS ( Dynamic Super Rezolution )- this should stay OFF for this game, won't help to render game image at bigher rezolution then shrink back to your desktop rezolution to "improve image details" details.

So is not only about how much power you have on CPU and GPU - other technical details made a big difference and driver settings where is possible.

     All the people from my clan have problems with the FPS drops on the game and you are telling me it is from my PC? I am playing WOT with 220 FPS, Ping 8 and 360 HZ and I have the same FPS continuously without any FPS drops at all. Crossfire has half the requirements then WOT to play the game.
    How come before last update the game was running decent and now all of a sudden it is running the worst it has in years. Every time there is an update the game is running awful and straight after that we need an emergency update like all the time. 
   I think it is time to take better care of the game and give people a good experience while they are playing the game and maybe some people can cry harder when they are losing because they can not play a simple game like Crossfire. Stop blaming people PC`s, it is the game.
