I don't know the update that caused it, but the game was previously running very well. As of writing this on 2/7 I downloaded an update today, but this issue existed at least with the previous update as well, if not the one before that.
The game has started to run very poorly, making it all but unplayable.
It will run smooth for a few seconds, then the video and audio will freeze for a second, then it will resume playing smoothly. This repeats indefinitely making a very choppy and laggy playing experience. This doesn't seem to be happening at the same time as poor server connection, as the issue is present even when no red or yellow connection symbol is displayed. I have tried many servers, from the lowest ping to the highest, from few players to many.
I have also tried putting all video quality settings at "Very Low", and there was no noticeable increase in performance. Previously the game was running nearly flawlessly on the highest quality settings.

Happening the same way for me as well. Smooth for up to a minute then extreme lag, too much to handle. Previously great.

I thought it might have been the weather effect of all the rain-fall in the area but then I went inside buildings and noticed the lag occurring there as well.
Confirmed happening to 5 of my friends. About 3 mins into a server starts lagging so bad to the point the game locks up. Other patch I could not spawn now I CANT EVEN MOVE
I am having the same issue, when I spawn into a game it runs ok, but then my frame rate drops to below 10, and I cannot do anything. I have tried messing with the settings and changing servers and nothing has fixed it. This game is currently unplayable for me. The FPS will drop so low that it ends up crashing the game every single time. I had no issues before the two updates.
