Hey folks!
 
With the release of V.2.1.0, two PC performance issues emerged:
* Game client hardlock, most notably when alt+tabbed away from the client.
* Significant in-game hitching.
 
Following our investigation, we discovered that both issues were due to a certain audio configuration and immediately pushed a backend update to disable it. Disabling this component should have no impact on game audio.
 
While this won’t fix all performance issues for all users, we believe the major PC performance regressions shipped with 2.1.0 are now resolved. We’re continually investigating performance issues in the pursuit of providing the smoothest experience possible for all players.
 
As always, thank you for your patience!
