  We are releasing a hotfix today to address a critical team-assignment issue and introduce some new optimizations to reduce micro-stutter when a lot of action is going on. We are aware of some issues with hit registration and are working to address them.
  
  If you are having performance issues after playing with this hotfix, please report your hardware specs and other information HERE. It is also very useful to describe the performance issues youâ€™re having specifically – in particular whether itâ€™s constant or something that is worse on certain maps or during certain gameplay events. For example, we know that weapon cache destruction as well as team respawning cause performance hitches and are actively working on this. Gathering data from you all will help us continue to optimize effectively and make the game as smooth as possible for release.
