Anyone else have lag issues during Watcher Irideus in Halls of Infusion?

Gets quite slow here too but I don’t have graphics that high to cause serious issues. Just a drop in framerate.

Must be something related to particles. Sometimes things can get weird with these.

What usually makes it better to re-position your camera angle. Try looking up. It makes framerate better for me.

As mentioned, for me it was not just the last boss. It was any of the ones with “cloudy” or “frosty” in them. The frog is not a problem. I also notice that my laptop gets scary hot (even with a cooling pad) in that dungeon even when compared to raiding.

Thus far my strategy for the place has been to mostly avoid the place or just pray that things don’t hit me while I am lagged out if I do go but that’s not going to cut it for higher keys.

I’ve noticed too that this happens with many cloud or swirls - for example it kind of happens with Rashok’s intermission phase in the since that it does lag a tiny bit - but that frame rate drop is nothing compared to the plunge in FPS I face with HoI’s first boss.

Anecdotally - I’ve noticed that in higher Key levels I experience more of an issue. Legit, I have not been able to do anything more than an untimed 16 on any of my toons.

I legit avoid HoI cause I cannot get past the first boss alive (which isn’t good when I only play tanks and healers >.>)

Oh ABSOLUTELY. I was on my warrior doing a +14 and I wanted to SCREAM because the lag was so bad that even though I was watching my debuff section like a hawk I nevertheless kept unknowingly getting puddle stacks and dropping them on top of the boss.

We wiped twice because of this and this issue single-handedly ruined the key timer.

I’m so happy it is not just me - I hope it is checked into - as it stands, I think HoI is unplayable for me past 14s (and even then - that’s pushing it).

I was having the same issues. my solution was pretty simple.

I had my game on my 8TB HDD. I suppose whatever pushes the data for the Swirls is being streamed directly from the HDD and HDDs are slow af.

I noticed that my loading times were slow as well, which prompted me to just put it on my NVMe.

I ran Halls again later on after doing this… and to my shock-- Butter smooth FPS.

I smacked my forehead making the connection.

If your game is running from an HDD-- you are probably going to have this issue.

Why did they have to kill off the leader of the Dragon Isles’ Titanforged?

They kept the guy who woke up the Aspects alive and seem to be about to revive Tyr himself so why did they have to kill off the leader of the Dragon Isles Titanforged?

Have the issue with SSD and 16 gigs of ram.

Although I haven’t had a complete freeze since the first week. Just starts chunking hard.
