Hi all,
When attempting vKA HM (Final boss) after each res entire group suffers a FPS drop. The more res' the more FPS drop. After restarting the game (via a crash) it seems to fix it but that is not really ideal. The game gets pretty unplayable (getting chopping / to about 10FPS).
Thanks, Commentator

    It's not vKA exclusive, this happens in every instance (I experienced it myself in vSS, vCR and vRG, fps got lower after each wipe). Not sure if it's a memory leak in game or what but here is 'quick' workaround (at least quicker than game restart) - go to settings and change texture quality (for example high -> medium -> back to high). Poof, fps is back to normal.

    It's been that way for console since it's release. It gets worse on falgravyn, but it also seems to be more problematic the longer that you're in the trial in general. If you're in the trial for too long, it will crap out after like an hour and some change. This was a very old video that I made back when we were trying to prog the hard modes. We spent like 2 hours on the first boss and were just trying to complete the trial at this point. This was on a PS4. It was a slideshow. It's less horrible on a PS5. Rockgrove hard mode first boss also suffers similar game degradation.
