Rogue Harbor crashing

Can confirm its the visual MTX garbage that's causing crashes.

I crash every time there's heavy visual clutter with 10+ characters with fire wings and music playing goblins, tons if visual clutter, so bad that you can barely see the portal to get into a heist. I commonly run around 60-80 FPS in 1440 with no crashes (Occasionally blight drops it to around 30-40) but just entering the rouge harbor I'm instantly at 25-30 FPS so this is a massive problem.

I somehow managed to find a lobby with like 1 other person that had no MTX equipped and I was at hideout level frames hovering around 100.

This needs to be a waypoint tab along with Lab, Menagerie, etc. as a private lobby just like the the rest of them, or like a timeout AFK that boots you back to your hideout if you've been there too long, anything is better than this.

Unplayable in its current state.

seems for me to be crashing in Rogue Harbor randomly but frequently when i'm talking to an npc

- selling
- jumping between heist members to see their level of skills and equipment

prior to this i was under the impression this was because of all the graphical mods of characters standing by the stash (why here but not in other town hubs though?)

agree this needs to be removed from being a public hub

frequency of crashes are enough to deter me from playing the game to go do something else... like multiple times an hour

seems like this has been an issue for multiple seasons

Fed up with this problem, at peak times its impossible to play Heist unless im willing to crash 3/5 times im in the harbour.
