Trial of Sekhemas - Hourglass Challenge Bug (Animation causing stutters and fps drops)

Hello all,

I've been having an incredibly smooth experience playing poe2, no stutters, freeezes, whatever.

However, in the trial of Sekhemas, whenever a single monster is summoned within the hourglass challenge, I get massive stutters and FPS drops.

It's probably related to the animation itself, because the monsters seem to spawn inside some bubble-type of thing.

Even one monster being summoned in enough to ruin my experience.

Reinforcing what I've said above, my machine has been handling the game pretty well and this doesn't make much sense, besides being a bugged animation.

Anyone else found this issue?

Thank you,

I'm experiencing the same issue.
