Consort Radahn Light AOE Causes crazy frame drops

[ErikTheRed]

I played through the DLC and loved every second of it. Aside from the usual micro stutters that have been around since this game was released on PC I’ve been running it on max settings at 60FPS with almost no hitching… that was until I fought Consort Radahn. That ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Light of Miquella attack. It causes my frame to drop from 60 to anywhere in the 30-50 range. This is by no means a game breaking issue, it’s just a minor annoyance, but a consistent one.

TLDR
I’m posting this partially as a small rant but also to see if anyone else has had this issue or if it’s a problem with My hardware.

In case anyone is wondering here’s my computer specs:

GeForce RTX 4070
Intel Core i7-14700K, 3400 MHz, 20 Core, 28 Logical Processors
32 GB RAM
Windows 11 Operating System

There ain't much you can do. It's due to the poor optimization of the way the game engine handles particle effects.

You can witness much the same by just looking at the Walking Mausoleum in the Consecrated Snowfield while it fires the magic explosions and in a few areas at the Ancient Ruins of Rauh where you can see a bunch of waterfalls at the same time.
