Yeah, I've found it especially inconvenient for me as I just recently went out of my way to change my would-be alias to what I thought was a more suitable name, only to find I have to do the same thing all over again since my Switch still had that Username. Guess I'm doing some major platinum saving again ┐('～`;)┌ I wish they would provide it as an option to change the name of your secondary account upon merging for free. It would be a lot more considerate of people who already went out of their way to change their names if you ask me. (´-∀-`; )

Interestingly, after a couple of days of play I can confidently say that I've found somewhat of a solution. After the thought of messing with Windows performance options themselves came to mind—though I wasn't able to find the setting I mentioned, I did come across and decide to lower the `Appearance and Performance of Windows` settings. Basically, all the basic UI functionalities of Windows—and I set that to `Adjust to attain Best Performance.` Now while it didn't 100% iron out the game for me, (given the time to run for a little while) the game lags A LOT less, if at all sometimes. I do still get some lag spikes when initially entering an area and especially if I rush in as soon as it boots like before, but unlike before, it is much more brief—lasting only 30 seconds or a minute if even that (where as before the lag took forever to stop regardless), after which the game again runs smoothly. ლ(^o^ლ) I'll keep it in the back of my mind to see if there's anything else I come across that might completely better the performance, but I can't say I have the highest of expectations for my Laptop, so what I've reached so far is honestly great. More than bearable even. Thank you for your help—you and @Naroxas44, @taiiat—God bless, and hard maybe this thread might help someone else...! (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+

I'm not so sure about the Shader Compiling being the issue. I've been to these locations numerous times and am experiencing lag all over again upon starting the same mission moments later. Based on what you said this information is cached after the first time I encounter certain assets, but it's definitely far from my first at this point. (^ ^;)ゞ In other news, based on what Naroxas44 said, and past experience with OBS warning me that an iGPU is less than ideal, I think it's safe to say my laptop only has an iGPU. As for adjusting the power plan I do remember something that let me adjust a performance setting for individual programs, but I can't remember how to do it. Nonetheless, my Laptop's default Power Plan is already set to "High Performance." ┐(^～^;)┌

Thank you, yes it's all plugged in and whatnot—I tried DX12 on launch and the game instantly crashed XD. I run the game at 40Hz already and even lowered my resolution in-game to 720×1280ppx. Side note—honestly having tried setting the Upscaling to `Performance` as I mentioned didn't seem to help either, but I'll continue trying things as I see them (or just waiting around and hoping)

Alright, so unless I'm missing anything adjusting `Upscaling` settings is worth a shot(?), so I'll try that. For future reference though my Laptop is: - 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 with a Base speed of 2.42GHz - 16GB RAM - Intel Iris Xe Graphics - (Hopefully, that covers everything but not too much Lol; thank you for the information)

Yeah, I don't know what to make of it, again might not be a "CPU" thing, I kind of just assumed it might be based on limited knowledge, but leaving the game to run did help for one reason or another. One moment the game is lagging aggressively, the next (after 2-5min in a given mission), it runs virtually seamlessly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh alright, I'm not 100% on certain things regarding spec-terminology unfortunately (might be mixing up CPU and GPU), but I can see that my Laptop's base Speed is 2.42GHz and I assume that is where the problem lies since I have 16GB of RAM. Other than that, thanks for clearing up what the `High Performance` mode means, I suppose I'd never want to use `Power Saving` in that case (except to save power Lol). In terms of adjusting `Upscaling`, I must not be mistaken about how that affects performance but whether it'll help at all depends on what the source of the problem is, I take it then—? (õ∀ŏ;)ゞ

So, I've been fiddling with Performance options in Warframe to help it run better on my Laptop which has less than Optimal CPU overall. Typically I'd have to let the game run for upwards of an Hour to help the game run properly. Otherwise, it would lag IMMENSELY for the first few minutes of any mission, rendering me virtually useless until it eventually smoothens out, even then it lags for a little while upon entering any instance. I notice the various options referring to "Performance" and for one I want to confirm that when it says "High Performance" (for instance in the Launcher settings), or anything of the sort it means it will reduce quality to make the game perform better, yes? In particular, I was looking at the `Upscaling` settings and considering trying to set it to something set in stone rather than having it on Auto. Of course all in the hopes of it running better—I haven't had the chance to try testing anything at the time of me writing this, but would that work? Is my understanding of any of that correct? (For the record: previously, I just ran the game on its `Classic` Engine and that did it for me, but that isn't a thing anymore) Hopefully, this might help anyone in a similar position as me, because I wasn't able to find anything clarifying this information anywhere- (^ ^;)ゞ
