Massive FPS drops : Despair Spell - (Cast & Spam) - visual effects the culprit ?

I am encountering an issue with the Despair spell visual rendering effect that cause a massive FPS drop when I use it.

Could you improve this as the same way you did for Abyssal visual rendering effects ?

RIG Specs :

Graphics drivers at the latest revision (25.9.2)

CPU: 5800x3d 3.4 GHz - 4.5 GHz 8core multi threaded cpu (16)
RAM : 64gb 3600mhz DDR4 Ram / Quad channel
Graphic card : Sapphire RX7900 XT (20 gb vRam)

Game resolution : 1440p
Game Graphique parameters : Recommended (Except bloom)

PS : I can provide client.txt log if requested

TY

yeah I'm a despair lich and when I spam despair FPS drops and interestingly enough, if I'm watching something in firefox, the video freezes. Doesn't happen if I'm watching something in Chrome though. Bizarre

Thank for your reply, Abyssal Lich here :).

Do you know your Graphic card model ? (Amd or Nvidia or Intel ore else)
i9 12900k, 2080 Super
Thank you :) for your answer.

I know now this issue is not only related to AMD hardware, Nvidia graphic card too.
Despite the latest patch 0.3.1b, this issue persists and remains.

GGG Devs, could you please address it ?

This would change my gaming experience, the frame-rate variations make me seasick.

Hi GGG dev Team,

If you could integrate any improvements in the next patch, regarding the issue described above, it would great.

Ty in advance
Yeah. Same with other spells, not just ground spells. The list is long.

Also, MTX weapon effects like to have fun ;)

Not sure if it's some kind of "future proof" approach to still look good for future hardware, or just a bug.

In before: "Just buy GeForce 7090" :P
