Cause and fix matrix
| Likely cause | Confirm with | Low-risk action |
|---|---|---|
| Target and hardware tier do not match | The PC is being compared with a resolution or preset above its listed Steam target. | Return to the published minimum or recommended target, then retest the same busy scene. [steam] |
Those figures are targets, not guarantees for every 100-player battle. CPU load, GPU load, server behavior, drivers and the active Control Zone can all change frame time. [steam]
