Huge performance drop in last phase of Sirus fight

Last Phase: Beam attack and he yells "DIE!"

my PC dies, hardlock for 2-4 seconds. I cant move or control anything except pressing random flask charges. Screen comes back and I already died.

Coming to last phase with full number of portals but losing all on the last phase. Sometimes I get lucky and kill him on last port with PC stuttering and freezing. It is a buzz kill to go through this every time. Any news on optimization?

same

same. What should we do GGG? How can we minimize it with settings changes? HALP!

The problem is still there. Lost again all portals and half a level. Very demotivating!!!

same problem, zombimancer , last phase , lag and dead. evertime awacking bons 8, but i die ever in the last phase

im so pissed rn. comp runs games light years ahead of POE but i cant run for s*** this stupid game... died like all you guys on last phase of sirius. I cant wrap my head around the lack of stability of the server or something... really really frustrating

Same, always get drop fps when sirus say "DIE" and liteterally die....

My spec

AMD Phenom II X4 955
GTX660TI
SSD 120GB

Same problem here. Last stage of the fight and the game freezes until I'm dead.

i7 7700HQ
ssd
32gb ram
gtx 1070

Will try the sound trick next time to see if it works for me.

GGG should at least say that they know about this and are working on a fix.

Hi,

Seems fixed after patch. Could finally do awakener lvl8!
Thank you so much :)

Had the same issue..

i7 8700k, 1080ti, 16gb ram. Windows 10 64bit.

Also playing Zombie build, 16 zombies, 4 spectres, 1 golem & animate guardian. I noticed it only happend twice while fighting him in the last phase, esp when he cast the beam and you get caught for a millisec and it freezes so you cant teleport away.. I can usually take a hit and get away.
