So apparently I was premature in thinking that the problem was fixed. It's not. As the game continues, it gets worse and worse, and it's much worse when you have a full 5v5. I've set the graphics to low on everything, no AA or Vsync. I don't know what could have caused this, but it's really irritating not being able to properly run a game from 2009 with a 2080 and a 9600k.
The new Nvidia drivers definitely improved performance. I have no idea what they changed, but the fact there were two patches essentially back to back means they fixed something. Another issue I have is not being able to pan the camera. Usually I was able to use spacebar or hold mousewheel and adjust the tilt of the camera. The moment I hit either of those buttons I immediately crash to desktop. This persists after the Nvidia patch as well. Thank you very much for your prompt

So I've played this game on and off for several years now and never had a framerate issue with it ever. I have a 9600k and a 2080, so specs are not an issue. Nvidia drivers are up to date. For some reason the game is stuttering beyond belief to the point where it's unplayable. I own it on Steam. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
