Hello everyone,
Posting here in case anyone has a fix for this.
Since Patch 4, on my latest playthrough, my game has been plagued with lags which were manageable until Act 3. Now, in Act 3, at times, seemingly somewhat randomly, the game is lagging at an unplayable level. It seems to be linked to the characters entering a new subsection of the area I'm currently in, but I can't be sure.
Video example of a lag I managed to recreate consistently towards the end of the Rivington section of Act 3:

Some NPCs appear to be walking in place; their position sometimes reset, as if the game was recalculating their trajectory (see Shadowheart at the end of the video above). It sometimes takes minutes for the game to "catch up" to player input.
Same lag when I try saving in similar situations: I press F5 but the saving only actually occurs once the game has "caught up".
I tried verifying game files' integrity via Steam and deleting everything in the LevelCache folder of the game, to no effect.
Didn't have any issues with the game prior to Patch 4.
Thanks in advance!
