Whenever a combat is starting, the game freezes for some time, usually 1 or 2 mn. If I click anywhere, Windows gives the "Close the program or wait for it to respond" message.
Interestingly enough, the freeze seems to occur exactly on my first character turn: if one of my characters has the best initiative score, the freeze happens immediately at the start of the combat ; all bad guys playing before my first character can run their turn normally.
The Same issue also happens at the end of the combat.
PS : just sent an email with my save file and more technical details
I'm also encountering the constant game freeze at the start of combat, whenever I save, and coming out of cut scenes. It's like it gets stuck in a forced pause. If I click anywhere (just once), I get a loading circle and about 10 seconds later, the game is responsive again. If I click twice, I get the Windows "close or wait for it it respond". If I don't click at all, it stays frozen.
Is there a fix for this?
I'm not laughing AT you, I'm laughing WITH you. You're just not laughing.
To follow up on this bug, it seems that the Spring update almost solved it: the freeze of 1 to 2 mn I was experiencing has decreased to a lag of few seconds, occuring in the exact same conditions...one more little effort, guys! ;)
Today (May, 19th 2021), Nvidia updated my driver through GeForce Experience to version 466.47 (my GPU is a GTX 1660 Super) and since then, the same bug is back! Freeze now happens before combat and after, but also before and after some other animations...any clue?
Edit : game version is 1.0.13
