Avatar freezes after login; new performace hits

[DEATHLOK]

With the latest large update, the game is experiencing lag or "hanging" at new points in the daily play of the game. There's the long delay around login before the avatar is switched from Excalibur to the actual currently selected warframe we've all come to expect. But, now, the player's avatar will freeze for many long moments during the standing animation after login, and that is new.

There is more new "stutter" in animations when entering or leaving stations, such as Modding—at least for the first time the station is approached after loading the game. The avatar also stutters or freezes upon return to the Liset, during the standing animation at the end of a mission.

The "Creating Session/Deleting Session" messages still appear long enough to betray an associated reduction in performance. I remember NOT seeing them, because they appeared and disappeared quickly.

And, of course, the game regularly hangs during Public mission startups, fails to connect squad mates together, fails to replace hosts, "forgets" which mission was selected, and generally wastes time unsuccessfully starting missions. This particular mechanic has grown progressively worse for months, and especially bad over the past week.

Can you monitor your GPU usage? While these FPS dips my GPU went down from 50% to 4% usage. (see post before yours)

This stutter/lag/freezing has gotten worse with the past few hotfixes. Performance in and around the Liset and UI is miserable. These performance issues tear you out of what should be an enjoyable experience and remind you, over and over and over and over, that no one cares.
