Description of the Bug: Harsh FPS drop when looking at a certain area of Suburbs

How to reproduce the Bug: The video is probably the best way to example it. I was around 90ish fps when I was met with a sudden drop to 15/20.

r_shadows 0 seemed to mitigate this when I got revived.

Time Stamp: N/A

Errors: N/A

Do you have any clips with an on screen frame counter? It's very hard to diagnose without

Anything to not blame yourself for being bad at the game

I don't, I can check in the demo if it would reproduce it though and give you the FPS counter if you'd like.

If you record it for us I think it would also be a good idea to enable net_graph 3 (the one that has these funky spikes), this should also be of use if I remember correctly

or this is just net related and I'm speaking complete bs

Unlikely to be helpful, demo performance is always bad. Was it a specific direction you were facing for it to drop or the general area?

From this spot all the way to here:

its the cop cars

same thing happened @ projex in v5 and it would crash my game sometimes

Had this happen to me but far worse when aiming at the Large Subs 1/2 direction while standing at the alleyway beside the soccer field. FPS dropped from like 200-300 to 5-10 only when looking in that direction and the game turned into a slideshow. This is the only thing I could relate to the drop at the time since it was being spammed in my console and I've never seen it before, but have no idea if it's actually what caused it:

There were multiple cop cars (5-6 including the Brute) on scene as well
