Board Thread:Dark Souls II/@comment-396498-20150422041827

After three days of nothing, I am going to assume that no one on Steam has either a.) run into this problem or b.) found a solution to it. So I am going to turn to the DSwiki board in hopes of help. My issue is within the Sunken Crown DLC. It is one I encountered before and beat through with naught but sheer luck. But, suffice to say while the DLC can be challenging once you, for lack of a better term, go all out and just have fun with it, it is very enjoyable if not just a little punishing. That said the entire area is gorgeous, etc. etc. my issue is with a major FPS drop that I recall encountering when I first played through it but now that I am recording it I cannot just simply whimsy my way into it and hope I can beat it within sheer luck. In the rest of the area there isn't a single FPS drop not even from the overview of the almost Aztec-ian Temple and the Imperfects area below. The FPS seems to only drop like a brick when I get within 12 feet or so (near the very bottom area) of Elana's Fog Door. Then it suddenly goes from a pleasant 60 - 120 FPS to 3 - 6 at best. After googling and looking around a little even turning off Fraps and restarting both the Steam Client, Windows itself, and DSII it doesn't seem to help with it. I hope that someone can perhaps help me by-pass this issue. To repeat myself: My issue is that throughout all the other DLCrowns it is smooth sailing through all bosses, even when I got past Elana eventually to the final Dragon Boss the FPS picked up, with Fraps off or on, regardless of anything the FPS just tends to brick near and in the Squalid Queen's Boss Fog and Area. Any help or insight would be appreciated :)
