30-40 second delay in reactions

[gorlak.darkcast]

has anyone else experienced a delay in actions. specifically if i click on a npc, its not like the game stops the animations are there, its just that it takes 30-40 seconds before the dialogue pops up. something is lagging but it doesn't seem to be graphics as things people still are moving on screen so it seems like an engine underneath isnt working right? any fixes for this?

same problem here, some trolls over here keep asking me about my pc specs, but there was no such a problem until patch 4

Its not PC specs. Patch4 is causing a lot of random slow downs for a lot of people. Of course not -everyone- is experiencing this, but enough are. Report to Larian's forums/support if you are.

Only little bit of info I've picked up so far about it..

Vulkan users are having more issues, they may of fixed this it the recent hotfix. If you use Vulkan and its still running bad, submit reports to Larian.

Some Mac users are having a lot if instability and they have a hotfix in the works for it so it is known. This is probably due to a recent update to Mac that as caused it.

If you use Nividia gpu, the recent driver has caused some people issues with the game and needed to rollback the driver.

My theory is that they've recently talked about a lot of engine optimization and tweaks, so mostly likely some 'under the hood' things were put in and not playing nice with specific setups. Best to do is wait it out. Pick up another game. Give it another patch or two.. or a year. Other than that, ain't gonna get much help on Steam.

I'm using Nvidia and have not updated my drivers for a few months. Just reached Wyrm's Crossing and am experiencing delays in actions of up to 1 minute. Opening doors, looting containers, starting dialogue, its a lot of things but it doesn't happen all the time.

I can tell when its happening because all my followers will just stand still until .. whatever it is .. is done calculating and then they start moving again.

This is probably related to the Shadowheart not moving fix but I am guessing.

Yeah, having the same problem here. NVIDIA driver. Everything was good until I hit Wyrmgate and now my companions will randomly stop following me, interactions take up to 10 seconds to occur, had a random enemy aggro me through a wall due to glitchy screen issues. Tried updating my drivers and closing the Larian launcher but no luck. Gotta be the recent patch; this is my second playthrough and Act III was smooth the first time.

Today I suddenly have huge delays in Act 3 in heavier areas such as Wyrms Rock bridge and Lower City. If I long rest and leave camp, they all stand around as if theyre still in the camp, untill a minute or 2 passes and theyre up to speed and sometimes even then it will have a hiccup again and they stop following. NPC's that are walking will walk in place, no chatter can be heard. Ive never had this issue untill today, Ive been playing every day for over a month with no issues so this is definitely something recent thats changed inside the game itself.

I have the same problems, Act 3 lower City and Wyrm are horrbile, 1-2 min delays.
Its not the specs, my 1st playthrough I had 0 problems.
