FPS DROP with Mirror Image?

[tedmann12]

I have a GTX 1080 and i7 7700k. My game runs fine but the second I cast mirror image my FPS drops to like 15-20. Anyone have a similar issue?

Greetings,

 

Again, thank you for taking the time to report that there is a significant drop in your FPS when casting Mirror Image. We'll add this to our data-base and investigate it on our end.

 

Cheers.

Same here

Any ability that summons/creates another character in combat (like figurines, chanter's invocations etc.) causes the frame rate to drop (or even freeze for a couple of seconds).

Same.

Any idea if this will be fixed?

 

I can run any PC game on ultra, seems weird that one spell in this game makes it almost unplayable.

Bump

Hoping Devs can fix this!

I'd like to report the same problem, its a bit silly my PC is solid and this spell drops me from 60fps+ to quasi-stuttering levels.

If anyone wants to make a mod that changes the graphic effect of mirror image to a more functional blur and put it on Nexus till they fix this, I would be quite grateful. Llengraths Displaced Image has no performance hit. I dont want to break my achievements by switching them via console though.

Someone find solution for this problem? I play Pillars after release - without problems, now i want to play with all DLC's, and game almost stop when someone cast mirrored image. I try everything to optimize fps etc, but game works terrible.

Hmm, good for you have only fps drop. I have lag. Every first time i cast mirror image (especially last playthrough as trickster) i have mini lag, like 0.3s-0.5s freeze. Next recast is ok smooth. Next combat/next map/next reload, again.

This has been a problem since the game was released, and it was never fixed.
