Issue Description:
Many Psyker abilities cause my fps to drop significantly. From 60fps (using vsync) down to <25fps (lowest I’ve seen is 23).
Main ability that causes those drops is the lightning ability (should be called “Smite”). The other ability that is causing drops is from the “Equinox Mk IV Voidstrike Force Staff”'s projectiles exploding in my face when a psyker uses it on a hoard that I’m currently meleeing.
These drops only occur when I am actively looking at these effects. When the effect is not in my viewport, the game immediately goes back to 60fps.
I know that my GPU isn’t top of the line anymore and 3 generations old, however these two effects are the only things tanking my performance to these extremes. Fire and explosions do not cause any stutters or fps drops, unless there is an extreme amount of effects going on. But even then I maybe drop to 50 fps max. Not lower than that.
Attempted Solutions:
General graphic settings are set to medium to high, running 1920x1080 borderless window with FSR set to quality.
I have fiddled quite a bit with the settings but have found myself simply leaving them as is as it basically doesn’t effect those fps drops. I can still play the game and enjoy the usual 60fps as long as there isn’t a psyker in my face 24/7. Setting things lower degrades visual quality too much for me.
