Delirium encounters, massive performance drops

[Psykrom]

Game ran pretty smooth prior this league, now I get insane fps drops with spikes that kill me whenever I start a delirium encounter, also throughout the encounter very sluggish.

edit: getting the newest driver and reinstalling instead of simply updating helped a great deal.

I just noticed there are also massive latency spikes up to 300-400 ms all of a sudden during those encounters.

related to graphics there was a setting at fault to some degree at my end (epu 6 engine was on auto) though those latency spikes are still nasty. Ping is around 15-30 ms outside Delirium encounters.

definetly everyone has the same issue. really disappointing cause so far there does not seem to be a fix anyone could come up with.

will update my nvidia driver, maybe it helps.

This might actually be the issue, going to try it. Not that I am crashing, but what he wrote might still be on point.

reinstalled the driver, improvement is massive. Though it is still not performing at the level it was in metamorph, which is sad. hope they will optimize it.

edti: also had to add POE in the nvidia 3d settings, not sure if it was removed when I updated and completely reinstalled the driver.

Its unplayable - everything runs smooth and as expected until you activate the delirium.. massive performance drop, and as monsters popout of the fog freeze mid combat even occurs.
