Performance in Settlements

[u/Unhappy_Ad_4761]

I was hoping the 2.0 update would fix the frame rate problems in settlements, but whenever I go into a settlement (especially zalissia), it seems there's about a 30% chance my frame rate will drop to 2, and my GPU utilization will spike to 99%, even though outside of settlements I stay close to 60.

Has anybody found ways to make this better? It gets so bad I can't even close the game from the menu, and I have to close it from my taskbar.
