The Season 5 Reloaded update made On-Demand Texture Streaming mandatory, which can cause lag and stuttering issues if your internet isn’t top-of-the-line. These issues have persisted into Season 6 as well.

To limit its impact, set it to Minimal, have the Allocated Texture Cache size on its lowest setting (16), turn Download Limits On, and set the Daily Download Limit to its lowest. This means On-Demand Texture Streaming will turn off after 1GB has been downloaded.
