Fire spell particles are bugged and causing MASSIVE FPS DROPS

Alot of people have this problem and its not only me. people who especially play SRS minion build are ppl who suffer from this

The fire particles from fire spells is causing catastrophic FPS drops. i can run out just fine playing at 60 capped fps but whenever i run into a fire mob. my fps can drop to 10-15 fps

i played the longest time with SRS flamewall minion build and it was torture to play cause my fps was allways 20 fps in combat. never outside of combat.

I took away my flamewall and SRS minions and the game runs just fine at high fps.

Whoever designed your fire effects has failed. theres too many particles or something


I and many others have written topics about this on this forum, reddit and steam forum. ALOT of the players that are reporting this problem are playing srs flamewall builds. even people with cracked out high end PCs are suffering from this.

it is not only flamewall. it seems to be most fire effects.
i thought fore the longest time it was on my side but its clearly not.

i wrote a topic in tech support but clearly no1 works in tech support.

the game runs fine while im running around. but when i get into combat it bricks fully and i can get to the point where i can count the frames 15-20 fps. it is horrible to play like this. ive tried several things recommended but nothing works

Same problem. Srs+ Flamewall+ Arsonist destroy my fps. 90fps in hideout. If I just run through a map I get ~60fps.As soon as combat starts my fps drop below 30. Graphics settings or DLSS don't matter at all. I even switched to a better GPU and nothing changed. GPU is at max at 60% load. Maybe it's related to the amount of Raging Spirits hits or ignites.
