I switched to the Epic version and it helped but I still have absurd framerate drops in some GMs and arena ops and other random places. Arena ops gets so bad I guess because of having 6 guardians.

I'm on a laptop that should be able to handle it no problem. 5080 laptop, 32gb ram. The part that i SUSPECT could be an issue is the CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 285H (2.90 GHz)

I was troubleshooting with Claude and the issue as it describes is

"Your Core Ultra 9 285H is a weak gaming CPU for single-threaded, memory-latency-sensitive workloads, so in older/DRM-heavy titles like Destiny 2 and AC Odyssey — which funnel everything through one CPU thread — it becomes the bottleneck and your framerate drops while your RTX 5080 sits mostly idle."

Does this sound right? Is there some dumb setting that's going over my head? I can try to summarize all the troubleshooting I've tried later i just wanted to get this post up

A group of left leaning Guardians who’d rather not play the game with the right leaning, “anti-woke”, “it’s just a joke, bro” kinda crowd. Mostly PvE content but not opposed to PvP. All skill and experience levels are welcome, our only thing is we are socialists who wanna play D2 with other socialists.

Also we do have an in-game clan but joining the server first and completing our questionnaire is a prerequisite

I know it's a really weird question, asking because I want to play ultimate portal activities at -50 so I'm not just playing the same 6 GM vanguard alerts til the end of time. I'm already max power so all my new drops are coming in at 550 or 540, I would need some gear to be well below that to get to 450, which would put me 50 below ultimate level enemies
