Try setting your shadows from Low to high if youre freezing

posting this in hopes it helps someone because it really helped me, if not then keep using low settings.

this might even be an issue on just my system as tarkov is known to be random in performance

heres my specs for a start:

Operating System
    Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU
    AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
    Matisse 7nm Technology
RAM
    16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR4 @ 1599MHz (16-18-18-36)
Motherboard
    ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. PRIME B450-PLUS (AM4) 
Graphics
    PLG2488H (1920x1080@120Hz)
    4095MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER (ASUStek Computer Inc)
Storage
    931GB Samsung SSD 870 QVO 1TB (SATA (SSD))  
    1863GB Seagate ST2000DM006-2DM164 (SATA )
    223GB Patriot Burst (SATA (SSD))    

I used to have constant freezing every couple seconds in tarkov on lighthouse, streets, sometimes other maps but not as much

i tried changing every single setting and doing all the optimization guides, even overclocking my cpu and i still had freezes ingame

the only setting i didnt change was shadows as ive always heard low was the best option, but changing it to high fixed 90% of my performance issues and instead of 50-60 average on streets i can run it at 60-90 now (some areas ave more than 100 fps)

heres a pic of my settings:

Luma sharpen made no difference in performance and looks better for me and i also did enable some settings just for a better look, so keep that in mind, im still testing otherwise
