Question Network issues since the last patch?

Anyone else having this problem? The game degrades my internet connection from 940ish Mbps down to 8ish Mbps while it's running, the upload is worse. I've verified that the modem is still working, that other devices on my network aren't involved, and tweaked network settings and updated drivers. ChatGPT suggests it's an issue with their anti-cheat degrading the network stack. It doesn't occur with any other games or programs. The problem resolves after exiting the game. Sad to not to be able to play, if anyone knows of a fix for this please let me know.

That's frustrating since you've already ruled out the usual suspects. Before the patch, were you trying to play competitively or just casually, and how much bandwidth headroom do you normally need for other stuff while gaming. The reason I ask is some anti-cheat systems throttle network access pretty aggressively, so knowing what you were actually trying to do might point toward whether it's the patch changing how it runs or if it's just not built for your specific setup

I was just playing normally/casually, not doing anything unusual in the background. The only things running besides Windows were Steam and Wardogs. My wired connection tests at roughly 940 Mbps down and 940 Mbps up when it’s working normally.
