[2022] Addressing the terrible perfomance + horrendous DirectX12 perfomance

Hello! Firstly, what caught my attention is the hitches you mention when somebody connects to your party. We see this issue often with players who have VR headsets connected to their PCs, where the headset is set as the default microphone. Do you have a VR headset connected?

Otherwise, disable the In-Game Voice Chat and see if there’s any improvement in your performance. It’s possible it’s related. Keep us posted!
