Description

With both Sanctum 1 and Payday 1 I get massive stuttering after 30mins of game play:

Both games have this weird issue where the game has full FPS unless I start moving around with keyboard or mouse (I guess triggered by a scene update?)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Analyze the apitrace and log files to identify the cause of the stutter after extended gameplay. Focus on D3D9 resource management and potential memory leaks or descriptor heap issues.
