*Fix found* Essence Drain/Contagion (with Intense Agony and Brutality) causing crashes

I am continuously getting disconnected from maps when I get a fairly large pull using Essence drain + contagion spreading.

If I pull around 30+ mobs and start to kill them using contagion + ED, I freeze up for about 30 sec and then disconnect with the error "You have been kicked for performing too many actions too fast". I can log back in immediately, but I am back in my hideout and the map portals are gone. This can be recreated fairly easily on higher density map, especially on the steppes map.

Update: I have switch over to Vulkan and it seems to have stopped the disconnects but i still get a ton of lag that it takes about 15 seconds to work through, however i stay connected and get to continue the map

Update 2: Fix found and work around.

This issue is caused by using a combo of Intense Agony on Essence Drain and Brutality on Contagion at the same time. I have only been able to reproduce this issue when both gems are socketed. When removing one of the supports on either skill, the issue completely fixes. Not even a small stutter happens.

i was losing my mind over why i am getting so much D/C and losing maps good to know you found the issue but this is massive NERF to ED then if i cant use intense agony with brutality on contagnion becuz it igves 50% MORE damage theres no other useful gems for my ED i doubt GGG is even aware of this

the game is still crashing using contag+ed without brutality it happens after like every 5-10 maps game freezes and it crash this is insane

thanks... this fix my issue by removing brutality support in my contagion. Before i get DC in map, losing portals and rollback

Removing Brutality from Contagion fixed my issue with this too.

Bumping this just in case but after the last patch I tried brutality & intense agony and have not yet experienced a crash after about 10 or 20 maps last night. I'm on dx12 and have experienced the crashes before the .2f patch
