  shot a deer with a fire arrow. only saw random puffs of fire as it ran when it died there was a weird red box around it? i have bad textures and an fps around 27 so it may be related to whatever is causing the really bad textures issue. sadly my game looks awful, im sure your aware of that bug, wanted to raise this incase its not the same cause

  I was in a cave with a group of 3 I pulled out a hand torch and we all dropped below 10 FPS from 60+ frames with out the torch on.

  When trees or bushes catch on fire, I can see a very noticeable red "box" around them, as though the fire is taking place inside a square.

  Any kind of lighting from fire causes my FPS to drop drastically. If I use a hand torch, the game FPS drops so much it turns into a slideshow. If my friend turns on his torch near me, the FPS drop drastically. During a lightning storm, the flash from the lightning causes the game to freeze for about 5-6 seconds.

  For me everything with a fire effect causes my game to go from stable FPS to slide show, eg camp fire, fire pit and even the furnaces. My FPS drops considerably when looking at these objects and sometimes goes back to stable if I re load the world with the fire still running. (Makes game unplayable with any of these items active)

  Virtually all of the place able objects with visual effects like campfires and pits cause major Fps drops and get resolved when game is restarted (issues starts again when new object is placed and activated)

  I was running around the forrest at night with a torch, the frame rate tanked to low single digit FPS. Default settings except I turned on FRS for my RX5700xt. I turned it off and performance was still terrible.

  did more testing with friends who run nvidia cards and pretty much seems to be just the AMD card i am running. Its pretty much any fire effects whether it be me or someone else or a tree burning the FPS just tanks. I turned down the settings graphically wise and it is still tanking fps to single digits. This happens with FRS on and off. I generally have POV set to 110 when I play since i am on an ultrawide monitor. So my setup is

  Not sure what it is but Fire Seems to be a big culprit in the FPS and Graphics Bog down Issue. etc. game freeze/stuttering Please look into this it even has this effect if it is in a cave and you look towards the Fires direction.

  Fire and flame effects cause progressively worsening graphics FPS, This is immediately noticeable when I pull a torch out at night or in a cave. Within minutes, the game becomes all but unplayable. I was walking back to my drop ship, at night and I was getting super jerky graphic renderings of about 1 to 4 frames per second (estimated). I do not notice issues with other lighting, such as water reflections or ambient sunlight and shadows. Only open flames and forest fire effects do this and it seems to compound, the longer that I am exposed to them. If I put out the torch and wait a few seconds, everything is fine, until the torch is turned back on, again, With the international chip shortage, I have not been able to upgrade my system yet, so I have set the settings to low or medium, as best I can. The game has been playable, but a little choppy at times. Other than when fire is present, I have found it to be workable. Is there a way to reduce the animation or light sources?

  Same Issue, also with an AMD card. (Ryzen 5 3600, RX 5700 XT, 64GB RAM).
  
  Was pretty bad in BW3, then issue seemed to be almost gone in BW4. Back with a vengeance in BW5. Effect seems worse when in multiplayer when playing as the host. Solo is a bit less impactful, but still very noticable.
  Pretty noticable with a handheld torch and from the standing torches. An activated Firepit also creates a very big performance hit and result in <10 fps when I stand near it. When deactivating the firepit my FPS instantly shoots back up to around 60.
  So seems to be fire/light related. Impact on performance from the Fireplace for example is much less noticable weirdly enough.

  Lanterns are the ONLY way to go now...they are incredible and give off fantastic light. The really cool part is they take NO fuel and they last forever. We had no fps drop off using them in groups with multiple players using them at the same time.

  UPDATE on BW5 torch/campfire/floor torch performance issues:
  
  Torch and campfire light resulted in a massive framerate drop during BW3 and BW4. The situation appeared to be better during BW5 though.
  
  My settings for BW5 were the same as per previous BWs:
  FSR activated to ultra quality (I also tried lower options) with a quality sharpness ranging from 80 to 100 (needed to try different solutions).
  
  Funny thing I found a way to make the massive framerate drop disappear:
  
  When activating a torch I pressed the windows button to highlight the windows bar and check the task manager to keep an eye on RAM and GPU usage. Just highlighting the Windows bar resulted in an overall framerate gain. Could it be possible that the windowed mode has some inconsistencies when calculating the light resolution for torches and campfires? (sorry if it may sound stupid but I'm not a game programmer)

  I never lagged so much in any of the betas as this one bw7 this is the worst .. and it must be the nvidia update stuff. Never had problem with fire now torches or campfires anything with fire .. lags me a bit / My friend was so bad on his 5600 he couldnt play yet he played all the other bws.. no problem.. and this is the first one that i have had so much lag.. I Sure hope this changes cuz i wont have anyone to play with since everyone is lagging it seems.. Find this problem or revert to like bw 2 LOL i never lagged then at all ! even last weekend was not too bad. I dont know if this game can deliver that bw 2 experience with adding so much more to it .. sorry guys .. love this game love the dev team but this needs fixing the lag is terrible and im running a rtx 2060 plenty of ram and i dont lag with any games .. and i hear 3000 series is having major issues .. fix please

  I am getting massive frame rate drop when I have a lite torch out. I am going down to around 20-ish frames if not less. There where a few moments that the frames dropped down to 1fps. I have a Radeon RX 5700 RT, and the graphics are set to medium across the broad, and I also have the FSR option on.

  Hey. Normally I get around 60-75 fps with an RX5700xt on mid settings. However when I turn the torch on my fps drops significantly to 24 fps. Reproduceable every time when I'm standing next to some trees and bushes. In caves I have no drop at all.

  I need to add to this bug, my game runs flawlessly until a fire is lit. Once the fire is lit, the game immediately drops to single digit FPS, and remains so even if the fire is deactivated. Once I reload the game, it is flawless again until the fire lights back up.

  Upon activating an equipped torch, I lose approximately 15 frames - this effect also seems multiplied for however many players that use a lit torch. Additionally, whenever I drop a torch, my frames take a massive hit, going from a steady 60 FPS all the way to the very uncomfortable range of 25 and 30 FPS. Similar to the first issue, when more torches are added, the issue becomes considerably more severe - given around ten torches on the ground, I reached a shockingly slow rate of 2 FPS. I feel like this will be a major source of performance issues for anyone who wants to play this game.

  i have a Ryzen 5 3600x and a RTX 3070 with 32GB of ram, at 1080p i barely can run it at 60FPS. on MEDIUM. i think this is a big optimisation problem, we should be running the game at at least 75FPS+ at HIGH with a RTX3070. Also when there's a forest fire or a thunderstorm. my FPS drops down to 15-25FPS. it's barely playable.

  After the latest round of patches, I've seen a relatively decent boost in FPS. While I would think that a 3080 Ti would be more than sufficient, it's a step in the right direction...
  
  Until a tree gets lit on fire. After that, I take an approximate 50% or so FPS hit. Where I was getting around 70ish FPS, I'm now getting 35. Wasn't sure if this was a major issue for more people, but if so, it's a fairly substantial hit to performance.
  
  Getting far enough away from the area seems to help alleviate the issue.

  With a 6800 XT and good performances (80+ FPS), I have to choose between launch DX 11 and have mediocre textures and visual artifacts but good FPS even when fire, or launch DX 12, have better textures (not even that great), but drop to 12 or less FPS when trees on fire or just holding a torch at night.

  I've experienced massive drops in FPS with torch/fireplace. Averaging 70 FPS normally (AMD 6900XT) and SOMETIMES but not always, pulling out a torch when moving around will drop the FPS to less than 1. Other times there appears to be little to no effect on fps at all.

  Still an issue, I'm on an Rx580 and a Ryzen 1800x and if i have textures to anything other than low then fire immediately causes a frame rate drop.
  
  Interestingly, torches don't cause an issue until i drop them from my hand. seems "3rd party" sources cause me grief (other player torches do cause a frame rate drop)

  Fire = Very bad performance. I draw out torch and all goes to poop, wolf bites me while stuttering and I'm dead before I can even put torch out. There goes a level too :D Lots of stuttering and just makes it unplayable and with such a high penalty for death its kind of off-putting to give another try while the problem is here. Glad its not just me having this problem, definitely needs to be looked at pleasee. :)

  Running DX12 with everything cranked on a 6800XT (OC) I will run at a stable 50+ FPS (no ray tracing) enabled.
  Gameplay for the most part is fantastic / stable, however when a fire is running, or lightning occurs. Or if a building comes on fire the game immediately becomes unplayable slumping to 1 - 2 fps until the fire is over. This is intermittent and not 100%. This seems to be focussed mainly towards AMD GPU's from what i can read as friends I play with all running NVIDIA see no issues.
  
  It seems likely that this may be a bug in relation to the way this game handles the dynamic lighting and particle effects with light based entities, and may clash with drivers from AMD. Please work closely ASAP to resolve this!

  Have very unstable FPS walking/running thru Icarus.
  Solo has stable around 100Fps, but as soon as someone joins me I go down to 30-50 fps. And if I by mistake shoot a bear with a flame arrow it goes down to 15-20 FPS. And if the tree and bushes catch on fire it stays on 15-25 FPS most as long as it burns and this affects all the others in my session also.
  
  So there has to be better work done to make this feel better. Don't understand why the GPU and CPU in this screenshot don't use more of the GPU or CPU power.

  Hello i am having a lot of issues with fire. I have spent hours and hours trying to fix the graphics and still nothing. When I am playing with friends or by myself I have noticed a 20 frame drop or a 40 frame drop when I am next to fire or torches. I did not have this issue when I was playing the beta. Floor torches seem to be the killer or any torch in fact. Especially when the forest catch on fire.

  there seems to be little interest in this ticket. please can we see something to show you care about your customers who run AMD. AMD are more than willing to engage with projects like this, please do so

  Lights (torches, fires, and electric lights) can sometimes trigger high GPU utilization and extremely low FPS. This behavior is inconsistent; sometimes when there are multiple lights on, turning on another light will trigger the performance issue, but turning the light off does not restore performance. Turning off all lights does restore performance. Video showing settings and demonstrating the issue: https://youtu.be/0YSu5nQh0ww

  I managed to optimize the game settings so that it looks great and never drops below 60fps at 4k res and generally stays above 75 fps. My only complaint is the torches. Even with the lighting effects off and the Disable Player Light feature on, when I drop a lit torch or there are any other players with torches around me that are lit, my fps instantly drops to unplayable levels, around 5-20fps. Since I have selected the above options, carrying the torch, alone, while lit doesnt mess with my FPS, as it did before, however anytime I throw it down so I can light an area im working in it makes the game instantly unplayable. This seems to, for me, be soley an issue with the torch and is worse with the Wood Rag torch than the Wood Torch, however it happens with both

  I play Icarus with the settings set to HIGH and I don't have any performance issues, my fps stays above 120. But when I equip a hand torch and turn it on, the fps drops to a point that is unplayable and in case of being in danger it would be impossible to fight with any creature.

  Hey, we have an ENORMOUS FPS drop when fires and torches are lit, please fix it !
  Or add a option to disable them in the game please.
  I play to about 70fps and when torches and fire are lit, it goes down to 3-20 FPS, that's really unplayable

  Still having frame drops so bad I cant hardly play on RX580 8g Red Devil. Any time there is more than one flame effect on screen, so 2 hand torches, hand torch and standing torch, fire ring and torch, etc, it laaaaags. The only exception is the large horizontal fire pit, the one with the spit over it. It also seems to happen when a torch of fire effect is in use while global illumination is happening, so anytime during the daylight hrs. with a torch, etc, Also when there is a flash of lightning. At night as long as there arent 2 flame emitting sources the lag doesn't happen. Also running a X-470 Gigabyte gaming ultra, 1800X CPU, 4X8g 2444mhz Vengence ram, EVO 970 boot, 1 tb SSD games, and 1tb samsung SSD Sata, 3tb Seagate HDD sata. (Still having a bunch of visual noise in foilage if AA isn't cranked to the stops as well.)
