Act 2 Stutter / Lag Issues NEED HELP

I have been randomly dealing with the most annoying issue I ever had with a game in a long while. I cannot for the life of me figure out what is the fix for this stuttering issue that is occurring in only the ACT 2 area. I tried loading other areas on multiple characters and they all work fine. It is only the caravan desert and titan grotto stuff. I can tell there is some sort of corrupted file or shader.

I have tried:

Deleting the cached shader files (along with every file in the directory) for POE2 in %appdata% roaming

I have done disk cleanup on multiple drives with the shaders etc

I have done ping tests, route traces, speed tests. All normal.

I have Reinstalled Nvidia drivers, custom install clean install

I have upped the shader cache in 3d manager for nvidia control panel

I have optimized graphics, lowered them, upped them

I have swapped the rendering to Vulkan and back a few times

I have swapped audio channels to low

I have tried everything including uninstalling the game and redownloading it, verifying the integrity of the files

I even overclocked my damn GPU

Please help...
