FPS Drops + Junk Not Showing

Discussion

This new season of Fallout 76 has got to be the worst in terms of launch. I was kinda hyped before hand when they announced all that they were going to do.

I love the changes to armor weight especially those PA Chassis and how they take up space in your stash. Must've gained like 250+ extra slots from that change alone. Make cleaning out my stash more useful

However; the performance; especially on PC is atrocious. I have no clue what had changed behind the scenes but I just did the event "Safe and Sound" and my FPS was (no joke) at 10 FPS. It is never that low, ever! I do know the engine is heavily outdated but that is no excuse to make the game run like trash. Not to mention my game crashed like 6 times with this update alone because of the sudden drop in FPS. This might be the main reason I stop playing FO76 on PC all together because every update the performance seems to get worse.

Also another thing; why can't I see the junk I am storing in my Junk Box? I know I have junk in my inventory but when I go to stash it; nothing shows in the section of the menu for either side.

Also not to mention; the lovely "Connecting to servers" except I have to restart the game because it hangs there until I reset it. Like these things are insane to have despite using a TEST SERVER! Which leads me to believe people don't actually report anything on that server ever. It not a server to gain content and show it off early it's to TEST THINGS!
