Orchid Mantis boss fight has crazy low fps

[Jamyjet]

It seems like they didn't optimise the orchid mantis boss fight, the particle effects cause crazy fps drops. I usually play over 100 fps, sometimes even 150. But I had consistent drops to 20 fps during this fight. If I didn't have really high levelled gear it would have been an impossible fight. The 2 other people I played with also experienced crazy lag during this fight. Hopefully it can be patched soon.

Same, no FPS issues at all anywhere in the game, but the mantis fight i drop to 12 FPS

I think it is the pollen clouds for me. I have to face a direction with no clouds to even get over 5 fps.

Yes, most of us get hard fps drops with those poorly optimized particle effects. 3090 here and even mine plunges. Still playable, but it cuts the framerate by 2/3rds.

Same here! Please devs, do something!

yep I stopped doing mantis fight until an update addresses this issue... also i suck...

I went into the options and turned off chromatic aberration (Not sure if needed, didn't test) and set Render Scale as low as it'll go. It stopped the FPS drops so at least I could kill the boss a couple times. I can normally play on Epic quality with no FPS issues as well.

Not a real fix but hopefully it can get some people through the fight without issues.

Glad i'm not the only one with this problem. I had him down to about 1/4 health then it became unplayable because of the pollen lag. Hopefully they can get this patched asap.
