pubg Pubg weird lag caused by Spotify

[IIITheFumblerIII]

Hi there

 

So, here's the deal, Pubg runs fine, no issue.
But as soon as I boot up spotify for some nice beats my Pubg menu and loading times freak out.
The menu will run at 1 - 2 FPS and the loading takes ages to finish.

This will continue until I do a complete pc restart even if I end the process tree for both Spotify and Spotify Webplayer/helper (I forgot what it's called).

Now this has been going on for months and the Pubg help is worthless and so are their forums.
If any of you had this issue or know of a fix that'd be great.

its a known issue. (and has been for a few years now, although its gotten better now that spotify no longer uses p2p)

when it plays a song, its downloads a cache for it. so you'll get lagspikes when changing songs

using the web player instead should resolve it.

 

you can also try to reduce spotifys cache, or disabling hardware acceleration in the spotify settings.
