Game Glitching Support Gem - Splinter POE2 EA

I put Splinter support gem in Dark Effigy (Witch) and it made this god aweful noise as if the gem was dropping continuously. Caused my game to freeze to a crawl while the noise continued making it unplayable. Zoning out of the area makes it go away and things back to normal....briefly, then the noise continues and the game freezes back up (more stutters than a hard freeze, if it were a lesser pc I'd assume it would crash). I tried returning to login and re-entering, was still there. I restarted the game completely, still there. The only fix was removing the gem from the socket.

So yes I did fix my own issue... but this shouldn't be an issue. Replacing the gem in the socket causes this problem again. I don't know if I found a bug in my game file or if somebody else can repeat this for me to confirm its an in game issue - as it's not a common support gem for this skill.

Thanks

Getting the same issue, but with the skeletal arsonists.

on console xbox one x, i get it too, exactly as you said. i exited the game and it fixed it but it started up right away again not long after during combat when i need to cast multiple other spells.
it first started after i added a third socket with a Lesser Jeweller's Orb in caravan act 2 cruel, and inserted the gem. except mine was raging spirits.
it seems to happen to me if all gem slots are filled, and if one of the slots is empty it will not happen.
also, it's not just the sound of the gem for me. If it starts up again during battle it might just spam a sound froj battle. and enemy grunt, or the sound of a spell, etc. but if i insert the last gem and fill the third slot, it will start again right there and will always be the gem sound so far.
