How does Path of Building behave?

PoB launches properly, then everything lags like crazy. PoB feels like it runs on 5FPS.

How to reproduce the issue

I updated PoB after league start of 3.29. Since then the error occurs.

Reproducing:

  1. Click on update PoB.

Note: Update changelog was empty once. I can not replicate as it lags even when uninstalling and reinstalling.
PoB is located in %appdata%.
