FrameDip during horde-spawn (and will persist multiple hordes/encounters) until I am rescued from DOWN/TRAPPED


Issue Description:
Capped to 60FPS, drops to (14 - 21FPS during “dip”)
FrameDip sometimes triggers during horde spawn (even off screen).
FrameDip persists even after the horde rush is cleared.
FrameDip will remain even after 2-3 encounters - if I survive.
FrameDip recovers/improves after I am finally downed/trapped and rescued.
Summary: FrameDip feels like it won’t go away until I am downed/trapped/killed. I might take it personally.
