Warlock Chthonic Fissure causing game breaking lag at lvl 40

Hey all,

I leveled a warlock to level 40 and made it to Maj’elka. I started noticing at this time that whenever I cast Chthonic Fissure it has like a 1-in-10 chance to brick my game down to sub 1 FPS until I ALT+F4 out. I think the longest I waited was 20 minutes and it didn’t revert back to normal. At this point i can only play a max of 10 minutes in between having to ALT-F4.

Just wanted to put this out there in case others have experienced this phenomenon.

Same Exact Issue, thanks for bringing it up,
Note: Played exclusively on full offline.

Had this issue as well, but it’s been resolved now. All I did was switch to Fullscreen Mode, and I no longer have any lag issues with the skill. Might work for you too.

Same issue here, online/offline, Fullscreen/Window Mode, doesn’t matter.
I use Chthonic Fissure with Chaotic Rupture (Chaos Bolts) and sometimes I get this issue when I use Chaos Bolts after Chthonic Fissure.

So far I had this issue only in Monolith.

After playing some more it also happens when I just use Chaos Bolts.

Same issue here.

I removed the FPS limit in Settings → Graphics under Advanced Settings. This fixed it for me.

EDIT: eventually had to switch to both the FPS limit and the fullscreen others suggested. Still becomes an issue in monos with high enemy density.

Continuing to have this issue after trying all the above suggestions. Hopefully addressed in next patch.

Same issue for me. Tried all screen modes and FPS limiting. Fullscreen and FPS limit reduces it to only every few monoliths, but still a problem. Hoping this issue is included in the next patch.

Still unplayable.
Found on the forum that ‘The Burn’ passive in Chaos Bolt (extends duration of active Chtonic Fissures and Infernal Shades) is causing the issue. After removing this the game works fine without any lag anymore.
