I have a horrible FPS drop happening only when I am in Rakkis Crossing. I am talking slideshow proportions.. <10fps.
The rest of the game, literally EVERY OTHER AREA runs @ 60fps (locked to 60 on purpose to match my monitor refresh rate).
I am running two R9280x (in crossfire) so it is unlikely my hardware is the issue.
I've tried disabling crossfire (so only using 1 card) and that didn't resolve the issue.
I also have the game installed on to an SSD, 16gb system RAM and a i5 4670k processor... this rig destroys BF4 on Ultra, but cannot run Rakkis Crossing hahaha.
You're not alone. Myself and all of my friends that I've played with have the same massive fps drop in the area as well. I haven't searched around yet, but I hope it is a known issue. I have a single R9 290 card, and with tons of effects on screen in any other area, my fps NEVER drops below 60fps at 1080p.
I've also got a SX900 SSD, 16gb of 1866 Mushkin RAM, and an 8350 OC'd to 4.6Ghz.
This seems to be a bug, and it has been around forever. It also seems like this has nothing to do with your graphics card; a friend of mine has exactly the same PC as I do (I built both of them) and he has no issues in Rakki's, while for me there's always lag. I guess there's something wrong with the textures being loaded in this part, but not sure why it only happens to some people.
Rakkis Crossing, Core of Arreat and parts of act 4 all have this issue. I will maintain 60fps 99% of the time anywhere else, even in 4 player co-op but the aforementioned zones completely tank my frame rate, and freeze my screen every time I pull a pack there.
I made a video of the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQmTbJsZViI (potato quality, but just watch the frame rate, it's extremely sporadic and I'm freezing all the time).
I have threads up on both EU and US regarding the issue if anyone wants to post there.

The question isn't why do I kill. The question is, why I don't kill everybody.

Do I just avoid the area?? Any ideas?
