Empire Causes major Performance issues

New Empire map has major performance hits at roughly the half way point of a conquest match. Dipping from an avg of 120fps 1080 native on high settings to an average of 40fps and has noticeable input and visual delay. Dying before seeing an enemy, followed by the game "catching up" and showing the enemy. This persists between games, but is resolved after a restart of the game. This performance drop still happens when away from heavy vfx areas. (corner of a map with minor visuals)
