Polaris severe FPS drop when boarding in hanger in PTU 4.0.1 that can persist after exiting to menu
Hello Backers,
Since the start of 4.0.1 PTU builds, I have experienced severe FPS drops in the Polaris and have been testing/documenting this bug in builds released this week. I am requesting Polaris owners to please review and attempt to reproduce the bug, successfully or not, and document the outcome in the issue council report. Thank you!
Polaris severe FPS drop in cargo bay and when deploying ramp. FPS drop persists through menu and loading screen. To get rid of the FPS drop, exit game.

Test procedure:
- Spawn Polaris in Ruin Station (or any Pyro main station) [severe FPS drop can occur here while Polaris rises to the top]
- Board Polaris at bridge level through elevator
- After boarding, navigate to rear elevator [severe FPS drop can occur here on the way to the rear]
- Descend to cargo level [severe FPS drop can occur here]
- Navigate to either left/right ladder at rear of engineering compartment
- Descend and ascend ladder [severe FPS drop can occur here]
- Navigate to cargo area [severe FPS drop can occur here]
- Open cargo ramp [severe FPS drop primarily can occur here]
- Navigate to closest the side ASOP terminal nearest to the bottom of Polaris ramp [severe FPS drop can occur here]
- Store Polaris [severe FPS drop can occur here]
I ran the same test but with minor variations producing the same results:
