Seems like PoE stopped unloading textures from video memory

P.S. Dunno why I was so sure Call of Steel was removed xdd

Can't confirm if it's impale or not (it's half my damage, I'm not dropping it) but am definitely getting this gradual performance hit going through maps (or whatever else) which resolves following re-loading the area. In my case, when it gets bad enough, a lot of effects (lighting, skill effects) start flickering or stop appearing entirely, and it will generally get to this point before the end of a map. I guess I'm just glad that I'm not epileptic?
