Talking to NPC (any NPC), after that game becomes very very slow

1. Title: Talking to NPC (any NPC), after that game becomes very very slow
2. Reproduction Rate:always, any NPC it seems. Charlotte, the next, the next, ...
   
3. Blocker? more or less, have to logout/in again to make it playable again each time
   
4. Details: Game runs smoothly, running around, graphic performance perfectly fine. Talk to NPC, ESC from dialogue, and the graphics/performance becomes unplayable. Logout/in again and it is ok again. As if the dialogue "hangs" or still lingers in there somewhert/somehow?
   
5. Steps to Reproduce:
6. User Specs:
   Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690 CPU @ 3.50GHz
   8GB RAM
   VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Curacao XT / Trinidad XT [Radeon R7 370 / R9 270X/370X]
   Opensource radeon drivers very latest (note that it runs ok until dialogue, probably not related to not using fglrx?)
   Kernel 4.4.16, Arch Linux.

 

FYI: with build 455 the problem seems to be gone. One of the fixes in "Fixed various exceptions and errors affecting performance" maybe, whatever it was, ok now. Been walking around for 30min, engaged in 7 conversations, picking up quests and reading the storyline without having to logout every time. Acceptably playable now under Linux for me, so can figure out the rest of the game.

Maybe should send over a big bottle of belgian beer.

Played 30+ hours about 2 years ago, then it looked very promising (the intended immersion level was, beneath the unfinished parts, already quite visible), final wipe so now time to explore it further.

 

Happy to hear. Please keep us apprised if the issue returns. We are investigating a separate issue with Linux right now relating to network congestion when alone in a scene.

 

Indeed, reproducable here in single player online. Was just running around in Soltown so always others around.
