Strange performance in Matlan Waterways. Anyone else?

7800x3D, 4080s, 32gb ram, and installed on a 2tb nvme ssd.

I would say the game has ran great for me thus far, but as soon as i got to Matlan Waterways in Act 3 it stuttered from a CPU spike every 10 feet. It's connected somehow to the levers or water in the area.

It's similar to traversal stuttering in where once you hit this invisible line on the ground the stutter will happen. The same thing happens here and you can do a little circle strafe over a specific area and have it CPU spike every time, at least until all the levers are used and the water is drained. Now those specific areas where the stutter would occur no longer happen and the entire map is smooth.

+1 every time I went through the area. It's a chore.

Bump. Glad to hear its not just my pc. since launch I spent HOURS stepping across these "lines" and switching different settings, CPU hyperthreading, C-states, performance modes etc, nothing helped. Just moving around empty map there is CPU spike and a stutter. What is weird every such spike coincides 100% with spike in network use i observe in task manager. Matlan Waterways is the worst by far, but it happens every map, i can very reliably find such "line" in Drowned City, where i did my testing.

can confirm in Matlan waterways activating the last big lever fixes all stuttering in the zone, resetting zone brings them back
