[2021] Extreme game speed issues

I’d like to see if something running in the background is interfering with Vermintide 2 - please try a ‘Selective Startup’:

1. Press the Windows key
2. Type ‘msconfig’ and select ‘System Configuration’
3. On the ‘General’ tab, select ‘Selective Startup’
4. Deselect ‘Load startup Items’
5. Reboot your PC
6. Launch Vermintide 2 as normal, and see if the issue persists

Is there any whirring or unusual noises inside your PC’s case when these speed issues occur?
