Lags with a lot of chat activity

  Intro

  All players on our server also have this issue after increasing slots to 70. Players report a 1-2 second stutter every time chat appears on the screen after fading away.

  Can confirm, also experiencing this issue on my server. Entire clan reports the issue after the latest patch. Playing on an official 50-man server.

  This has also been happening to me and many others in official and custom servers. Whenever a message is typed in chat the entire game/server freezes. Turning global chat helps but then there are system messages that cause this as well. Not to mention it sucks having to turn global off to remove some of the freezing.

  REPORT:
  
  - issue has existed as long as i can remember, though i only put 2 & 2 together as to _when_ the frame drop was occuring recently
  - when the chat is going to (re)appear due to a user/system message being received, my FPS drops to 0 momentarily, then the message is shown
  - as long as the chat is visible, new messages to not cause a frame drop
  - no modifications to game files, issue experienced on multiple servers & configurations, and also experienced by my other clan mates
  - other people i have mentioned the issue to did not realise the correlation between the frame drops they were experiencing and the chat (re)appearance, however once i explained, they seemed to verify that their experience is the same
  - i'd need to test it again to be sure but i'm 90% certain that EVEN if you disable global chat via the options and someone sends a message in global that you wouldn't see, the frame drop occurs

  This is such disaster, can't face any players because of them typing in chat makes game freeze and i fight at constant 10-90fpts, it can even freeze for 2 secs. If this not hotfixed quick then probably a quit from this fiesta...

  "0 FPS when chat appears" (suggested by meatwallace on 2022-07-27), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

  The chat needs to be fixed urgently.

  Alot of performance drops in this game that can sometimes be quite painful to deal with, lag spikes when chat appears, performance gradually getting worse and worse over time, praying for a fix

  I noticed that System messages are even worse then chat

  May be related to performance issue. Opened here: https://bugs.playvrising.com/suggestions/322535/patch-0542584-hotfix-10-gpu-instability-dropped-frames-freeze-spikes
