Syndicate Freezes, Stutters/Drops Frames Severely

+1 plz fix this. cant go around dying everytime the assasins spanw

They removed directx 9, what did u expect? Dtx11 doesn't like older pcs.

I never used DirectX 9 in this game and i never had problems until Synthesis patch.

same for me, recorded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3Nq3Ohn65E

Just for the record: +1.

Same problem here. Everything runs completely fine until I get into a map with Syndicates. I gain 5-10% exp and then lose it all every time I encounter these Lagger Minion Syndicates. Can we get a Zana map mod that says " No Syndicates will be on your next map " . I'd gladly pay to assure these guys are not on my screen. I'd love to point the finger at my PC but it was completely fine last league and everything other than Syndicates is running smoothly. Please fix, or at least give us some hope and inform us that you're looking into it GGG.

I hope you can fix this. The game is unplayable(5-10% of the time) to date.

+1 same lags especially with intervention members

+1 here and I have a pretty beefy machine, 1080ti, 16gb ram and running on a freshly installed version of the game off a SSD. Last time this happened, the game even crashed. Super frustrating.

+1 Same here
Fix it please !

Also having the same problem. During betrayal I played all the content and had no problems at all but now EVERYTIME a syndicate encounter happens the game sttuters, freezes and then I'm just dead. Today found a transportation encounter in a map and just running to a certain point in the map caused the game to close. No warnings, no error, no lag. Just closes. I really liked this league but at this point the game is just frustrating to play because if there is a syndicate encounter in a map I just have to give up the map or I'll just die 2 or 3 times because of the freezing or the game will just bug randomly.

My specs: i5-8400 CPU, 16gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX970

I'll just chill in another game until GGG at least address this problem.
