Ice Planet Tile FPS drops

[Rhaelwyn]

When running Hieracon lately, I've noticed the frames drop extensively after this tile is entered: 

After this tile, the fps drops stay the entire duration of the mission and progressively gets worse. The RAM usage, VRAM usage, CPU usage, GPU load, and GPU power draw were all under maximums. 

 

i7-4790k

gtx980

16 GB RAM

Win 10

All maxed settings in game

 

This effect was happening with everyone in the session and the FPS would fluctuate up and down at the SAME time for every player in the session after we encounter this tile (even after we move on to other tiles). This is the main thing that was throwing me off. The FPS numbers of everyone were different because of varying computer specs, but we would all drop at the exact same time. Minimums for me were 20fps. Everyone experienced instant FPS relief as soon as the liset exiting animation started (Assuming because the tiles despawn at that time).
