Game starts to lag after i use skills
So lately i´m dropping framerates everytime i use a skill in combat and i do not understand why, never had this problem before tried to reinstall but no change.

I have Windows 10, GTX 2060 Super and 16 gb so nothing wrong with my computer

Never assume that based on your specs alone. 99% of these issues are exactly something on your end. It might not be performance limitations because of your specs, but unless the entire playerbase has the issue as well, its still likely an issue on your end somewhere.

That said, have you tried changing your performance settings? Heavy focus specifically on things that you can fully turn off? Also, recent drivers? If you lack new driver versions occasionally you can have issues, but the same works in reverse where you may have updated a driver and that actually causes the issues. You may fix the issue by reverting to an older driver version.

If none of this helps, consider searching for similar threads. A few on this issue have popped up recently and you might find your answer there. Computers are complicated monstrosities so there can be a massive amount of potential issues.

On a random note, you could also try looking into the Nvidia control panel (or similar equivalent) for the power saving settings. If it is set to a power efficiency setting your graphics card may be having its power bottlenecked by your PSU by that setting. I had a similar issue a long while back and changing that fixed it.

Those are the only suggestions coming to mind anyway, hope one of them helps.

It might have something to do with the latest driver update indeed, i will check it out. Searched for this problem but only found threads from years ago that aren´t relevant today i think.

Normal attacks are fine but as soon as the AI or i do a skill it drops for a second, which is annoying enough to get me to stop playing right now
