After Title Update 1.09 we noticed there were a few issues in the PC community that we were able to fix quickly, so we'll be pushing this minor patch on Monday for PC only. Details are as follows:
• BUG FIX: ScoutX App Reset - Some players lost their ScoutX progress after the last update. This patch will restore that progress.
• NEW FEATURE: FPS limit slider - Some of you have asked for the ability to limit FPS on your machines, so we've added this in the display options.
• BUG FIX: Fixed an issue where shadows were sometimes missing from characters in cutscenes.
If you continue to experience any of these or other issues, please report on the official forums or contact us directly via customer support.

Thanks for your feedback, we wanted to respond to some of the most common comments below:
Will this patch fix my stuttering/FPS issues?
This patch included tweaks to RAM Usage Optimization and Screenspace Reflections optimization, as well as minor fixes with flickering. However, due to the nature of the platform, players will experience these fixes in different ways across different PC builds. We encourage anyone still experiencing severe stuttering and framerate issues to try the following steps in this FAQ and, if that does not help, to get in touch with our Customer Support team for further assistance.
Why was Yourboyserge nerfed so severely?
Yourboyserge had so much power that it killed gun variety in PvP. Even at close-range, Yourboyserge was the best option because you could 1- or 2-shot players behind-cover due to massive damage and cover penetration. With six bullets in the magazine and a decent fire rate and reload speed, Serge was the answer to every problem.
We wanted to increase gun variety but still keep serge’s niche: A very powerful sniper that can shoot through some covers. We thus reduced the magazine size to one bullet. At long range, it’s still a powerful and dangerous weapon; but now, at close range, it’s risky. If you miss your shot, you must reload after each bullet; thus making assault rifles and other close range weapons a safer, more reliable choice in these situations.
