Details: After casting Night Vision, my gameplay becomes very laggy. When I dismiss the spell and use W to walk forward, my avatar is skipping in short bursts forward. Returns to normal walking after standing still for a short period of time.
Steps to Reproduce: Cast Night Vision, then dismiss. Walk forward using W.

Power draw % on my video card (GTX 1080) changes from mid 80's to +100 when night vision is active.

Thanks for reporting!

 

I just wanted to add something in here about this report. Upon further investigation I realized that what was causing the skipping in short bursts was in fact my cabalist robe. When I took the robe off I walked just fine. I just hadn't realized at the time that it was the robe causing the issue. It's as if the avatar is tripping over the robe. It even looks too long for her body and she's the tallest size for female avatars.

 

I can concur that Night Vision causes a significant performance hit when active. I get 72 FPS (standing still) in Deep Ravenswood without Night Vision. When I cast it, FPS drops to 48. This is on a new 1070 Ti.

 

also getting night vision performance hit. Bad enough that i crash in cities
