Stuttering / FPS drops caused by certain mob types

[Shanks]

Hi,

I hope this is the best place to put this, but wanted to highlight something i have found whilst playing the latest patch.

Let me preface this by saying the latest patch is night and day in comparison. I am getting a silky smooth 60fps in ultra 99% of the time (shadows on high), and this is just a heads up in case there’s a fix.

I have noticed a couple of mobs which are causing some serious lag / stutter.

I have tested these mobs on a number of settings, both in-game and GPU specific (GTX 1070 Founders / i7 6700k clocked @ 4.6ghz watercooled, 16GB RAM)

Forsaken Trail - Sleet Weaver.
The projectile itself doesn’t cause much stuttering / lag, but when it hits the character or minion, it hits them frames hard.

Ancient Forest (Ancient Era) - Skittering Undergrowth
Again, the poison AoE isn’t the issue, but when minions are hit / in the poison frames are dropped.

This could be a hardware issue my end, but after the hours i’ve spent trying to resolve it, i at least wanted to bring it to your attention.

Thanks for all your hard work on this game!

You’re welcome Mox. I can’t emphasis enough the improvement overall to the experience, really is like a different game.

If i come across any more i’ll be sure to highlight then as best i can.

Trasochi:

Found the cause, the on death vfx has collision and is not pooled. Fixing now.

One down!
