River of Flame Performance

Technical Support

The game runs perfect everywhere except River of Flame. Performance drops so much I have to disable the overlay to play through the area.

I would like an answer to this as well. What is causing the River of Flame performance issue (from the beginning of time) and are there any plans to fix it?

Having the same issue. Massive framerate drop. The more lava is on the screen the less fps. The important thing on my side is that it doesn’t happen every time but changes when switching between locations. I made some benchmarks going from one waypoint location to another on two sets of graphic settings that show this issue.

Another thing is that also on locations other than River of Flame the framerate can also be different but the different is less significant.

Same here. GTX980, medium graphics runs on 60 fps most of the time.

River of Flames, with even lowest settings runs at 30 fps. This needs to be looked at, it makes the game unplayable. Especially on HC.

chalk me up for having this issue as well. I average 150fps everywhere else. It doesnt always happen and seems to only happen the more lava is on the screen. I had this issue about a week ago and it stopped. now its happening again. Thing is after the last time this happened we herd of bannings for 3rd party apps. Could this be due to some sort of sweep?
