### Issue Type (Required):

Performance

### Issue Description (Required):

Heya! I’ve been having some issues with framerate - aside from refusing to use DLSS and co. due to making the game look like an oil painting, I’ve noticed that as I continue playing the game, I occasionally get about a second where the game freezes. This gets gradually more frequent the longer I play in a single session until eventually it seems I get an out-of-memory crash - I remember getting OoM in base game, is there a memory leak somewhere?

I also tend to have poor performance in tense situations (especially with fire) despite having solid specs and all settings on low. I don’t use downscaling. I would upload an .NFO file but it seems I can’t, so specs here:

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core Processor, 3700 MHz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)  
RAM: 32GB  
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

Standing idly in the Mourningstar, GPU averages 70% usage, whilst memory usage is at ~3300MB. CPU usage oscillates around the 30% mark.

### [PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, but I haven’t tried disabling them

### Reproduction Rate (Required):

Constant (100%)

### Platform (Required):

Steam (PC)
