Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems [bug] act 3 attack delay

when I arrived in act 3, baldus gate, i have massive delays between my actions/attacks in combat, the sound and animatons plays but the actual attack has a 2-3 sec delay. The game worked fine until act 3. I can't even throw things, because they stuck in the air, and fall down at the throwers position. I found some topics with same the issue on reddit, so it seems to be a general problem.

act1/act2 ar not affected.

Does anyone here have the same problem or any fix for this?

i have the steam version, with news patch/hotfix and newest nvidia driver. (gtx 3080 with amd 5600x)

I've tried so far:
steam offline
fullscreen mode
windowed mode
tried different graphic/interface settings
changed performance in task manager
deleted older save games
did all conversations in my camp

I have the exact same issue. As soon as I enter the lower city this starts to happen. If I go back to previous areas, the issue starts happening in areas where it didn't happen before. I followed all of the fixes you tried as well and still no fix.

I uploaded a YouTube video of the issue showing from before I enter the lower city including the loading screen just to show there is nothing in between. You can skip to 2:00 to avoid the loading screen.

Here it is:

I am getting the exact same issue as both above posters! I have submitted an official bug report.

I am getting a significant delay to actions, once I hit the Lower City. Was not present in any other region before this.

Steam version, up to date drivers, tried every fix possible.

My hardware:
RTX 3070
Ryzen 7 5800X

I have to imagine not a massive amount of people have made it to the Lower City yet (it took me almost 100 hours, I took it very slow), so perhaps this issue is not as well known. Or it is affecting a specific hardware (maybe Nvidia 30-series cards??)

Hopefully it is patched or addressed, or someone finds a temporary fix in the interim. I am going to mess around more with Nvidia/game settings.

For me it seems to be a save related issue as I tried it on another brand new high end computer and I still suffer the same issue.

Okay! After a few days of waiting someone posted that the fix was to kill Jaheira before entering the lower city. It flippin worked, no delay at all now in the lower city. What a crazy fix.

Just came here to post the same thing! After several days of stalling my playthrough, my game is fixed, so happy

Either Kill Jaheira before entering Lower City, or also you can just take Jaheira with you in your party into the city, then remove/kill after. Credit to the user panicovgs on Reddit, where they found/shared the fix.

any idea how to fix the problem in the shadow-lands ? im struggling here, no chance to recruit Jaheira so far

Is there any word on a fix for this that will fix games that do not have a save to roll back to?

still waiting for a response too. no idea if this is going to be fixed, or if i need a new game !?!?
