Age of Empires IV - Looking at buildings destroys FPS

Maybe give VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv a try.
Maybe give
VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvva try.
Thank you for the quick response! I just tried it and it seems to have worked. I still get a bit of a drop, but it's much more in line with what I would expect.

Looking away returns performance back to normal
Deleting the building's rubble by placing farms on top also restores FPS
This seems to happen with all "proper" buildings (barracks, archery ranges, etc., but not with farms) and gets worse with the bigger buildings like the Abassid Dynasty's house of wisdom I used for the pictures.
Oh, also I have a Windows dual boot and the game works just fine with my hardware.
