Besides some other issues with the game ( thankfully nothing catastrophic ) I have in the last day or so experienced a cripplingly low framerate drop. It had issues from time to time but is now unplayable even after restarting both the game and computer. All settings, even on the lowest settings, still results a in a framerate around 6-7fps. I am on a laptop, but it is one with:

• 8 core i9
• 8gb Quadro RTX gpu
• 32gb of memory.

I am not sure what changes made recently would result in my framerate becoming so low. Any guidance or suggestions would be very welcome.
