I've only had one issue with the framerate, and its that when you set fire to yourself, you now create fire burn decals that stay in place after restart

If you burn in the same place a lot, it really, really lags up the area down from 60 to 2...

On a223, I got 90 frames on this level.

From a224 and onwards, I get 30 FPS, even with Motion Blur disabled.
I really hope this can get fixed.

Just tested, I'm not suffering from this issue after 6 matches, if anything, this alpha actually fixed the arena bugs for me. I don't seem to get the "We've not been given information, so we don't know what to do" bug when finishing a match with AI anymore.

Seems like the disco party carried over to this alpha. Also present is a black screen of death (not a full crash) whenever I try to quit to menu.

Are you sure you are using the most recent release and any of the "beta" builds on Steam?

Any idea what caused the performance drop? I feel like if it's 60 FPS, it's something significant.
The drop happens even without Motion Blur enabled.
