Does anyone have any information on what’s going on after the Tusk Force update?
Are the developers optimizing this broken game that they’ve ruined?
Will there be any proper optimization in the next 6 months?
I was going to attach screenshots and additional data, but I’m writing this from my work laptop.
I’m listing ONLY THE ESSENTIAL ISSUES!
It’s official: After the Tusk Force update, the game is experiencing a serious technical performance crash.
These are not isolated incidents — this is a widespread issue that is ruining gameplay and destroying trust in the product.
Performance issues (based on real system behavior):
-
Drastic FPS drop — Example: Before the update, 120–140 FPS. After the update: 60–70 FPS with the same settings.
-
At the absolute lowest settings, the CPU runs at 72°C and over 50% load, while before the update, it stayed under 62°C and under 20% load — even at 4K max settings with GPU downclocked.
-
CPU spikes and rising temperature even when nothing is happening — no shooting, no enemies or allies around, no effects… absolutely nothing. And still, temperature rises fast for no reason.
-
GPU usage seems okay, but the GPU clock increases in order to compensate for bad optimization, which raises its temperature.
Meanwhile, CPU sits locked at 50% and no known setting on Earth can change that! -
Resolution and settings do NOT matter. 4K max or lowest res with everything off — same performance.
-
I’ve observed this behavior for over half a year — AMD Adrenalin performance settings do not affect FPS, they only impact temperatures, and only slightly.
What I’ve already done:
- Replaced thermal paste on both GPU and CPU.
- Ryzen 7 7700 runs cooler in Windows 11 desktop mode.
- Cleaned the entire case from dust.
- Optimized airflow and cable management.
- Tuned all possible system settings and background processes — I’ve spent days just troubleshooting.
- Installed the latest drivers and BIOS firmware.
Still, the fans are running at max speed, with no visible increase in graphical quality or load.
❗ What we expect from you (not wishes — expectations):
- Clear status — confirm publicly (reply to this thread) that you are aware of the issue and describe what you are investigating.
- Minimal hotfix to reduce the worst FPS drops as soon as possible.
- A long-term optimization plan, including a timeline for stable performance fixes.
- If the issue is configuration-specific — publish a list of tested hardware/builds where it has been reproduced.
⚠ Why this is a very serious matter:
- Players are losing progress, immersion and motivation — many are quitting after 1–2 matches.
- I’m noticing a drop in player population (if the in-game counter is even accurate) during prime time for Central European Time, when activity should be peaking.
If this goes unresolved, you won’t just lose active players — you’ll lose community trust, which is much harder to regain.
