Visual Bug with Fire, Rain, Indoor Areas, and Some Explosions

I have had a visual issue with fire effects for several leagues now. For a long time i just assumed it was my pc specs not being up to snuff but now that i have significantly more powerful desktop and the bugs persist i have decided to post about it. I was unable to get a screenshot of the issue, mainly because it appears to be single frame flickering and when my screenshot tool pauses the screen i havent been able to get it to pause on a frame that has the issue. Bellow is a video of the issue that i was able to capture.

The issue is consistent across almost the entire game, most noticeable with rain and indoor maps when combined with fire vfx. I also remember seeing similar artifacting in other scenarios but i dont have any specifics beyond a vauge recollection.

I havent been able to fogure out a good way to reproduce the issue other than standing in the tutorial beach by the entrance to lioneyes watch as seen in the video below

Have you tried this.:

1. Run packcheck.exe as "an administrator" / In steam select "Verify game files".
2. Delete the local PoE cache files here -->
C:\Users\"your windows account name"\AppData\Roaming\Path of Exile\
3. Now start PoE again as "an administrator". When at the login screen, select options.
4. Now set texture to MEDIUM and Sound channels to low.
5. Now start the game as "an administrator" and see if the issue is resolved ?

Else you will need to post screenshots of if + poste a full DXDiag report.
