Scourge FPS issue

Update :

After further investigation, the FPS drop is not caused by Sevagoth but by the Scourge, and more precisely when the Carnicus skin is equip on it. When using the weapon and the skin with another frame, the FPS drop also occurs. Removing Heavy Caliber alleviate the FPS drop, but it still happen after a while.

Previous statement. Everything that is described there remains valid, except that it is the Scourge with the Carnicus skin and not Sevagoth which causes it :

@[DE]Rebecca@[DE]Megan I briefly reported this issue in the "Update 30: Bug Reporting Megathread", but wasn't able to do further test before it was closed. Since, i have done more testing with screenshots (F6 for metadata).

I have observed my framerate progressively dropping while playing Sevagoth during long run missions. I have done several survival missions (around 35 min) with different frames and it happen only with Sevagoth. Even while playing Sevagoth, the framerate returns to normal when i'm using my Operator, then drop again when returning to Sevagoth.

Here is some screenshots showing the drop progression :

Révélation

^ Beginning of an Arbitration Survival Mission. 60 FPS at the start.

Révélation

^ 30 min, FPS has drop between 45-50 FPS.

Révélation

^ Operator Mode bring it back at 60 FPS.

Révélation

^ 35 min, the game struggles to go higher than 40 FPS. I have also disabled Gloom several times to check if it was responsible for it, but no changes.

Révélation

^ Operator Mode still bring it back at 60 FPS.

Révélation

^ 40 min, FPS can't go higher than 35-40 FPS.

Révélation

^ Another survival mission (just a regular, not Arbitration), this time with another Sevagoth. 60 FPS at the start.

Révélation

^ 20 min, FPS already dropping around 50-55 FPS. Maybe because we both play Sevagoth.

Révélation

^ As always, 60 FPS with Operator Mode.

Révélation

^ Around 30 min, can't go higher than 50 FPS (the other player, the host btw, is leaving).

Révélation

^ Again, 60 FPS with Operator Mode.

Révélation

^ After the other player left, host migration. Once done, the FPS is back at 60 FPS (as if the issue has been resetted).

Révélation

^ Meanwhile, regular survival mission with another frame (No Sevagoth in the party).

Révélation

^ No issue with the FPS (even with intense visuals like Protea's Grenade, Nidus' Ravenous, etc…).

Révélation

^ Solid 60 FPS during the whole length of the mission.

These 3 missions have been done during the same game session, in this order, without leaving the game between them, which means FPS issues with Sevagoth have no impact on subsequent missions with another frames.
