performence problems on a Ryzen 7 7700 (16) @ 5.30 GHz

yea whenever the screen really gets full of mobs with effects the game just spikes to 1-2 frames a sec and freezes until I die.

I don't think the CPU is that bad? and it's not defective, I lowered all graphic options and audio channels to low. same issue.

if anyone got any insight I would love to know if this is a known problem or maybe I should just uninstall. but that would be very annoying and disheartening because the minimum requirment listed are Ryzen 5 2500X, which is not as performative as what I have, and the recommened is Ryzen 5 3700X which is still not as perfomative as what I have.

I don't really understand what's going on... is this an early access issue still? because I got the game thinking I have the recommened spec to run it, reading the listed spec requirments. and now I'm running into performence problems.

this is also really annoying because it's obviously been more then 2h after I bought the game, and I can't encounter said issue after reaching later acts where the screen can get full like that. so it's a bit of a refund trap i guess?

I will wait for a bit for a response but there will be none I will contact support and move on from there, this is kind of a shitty situation :/
