Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Really bad lag in Moonrise Towers

This is my first time reaching Moonrise Towers since I started playing in August (taking breaks for patches to fix game-breaking glitches.)

My game has experienced 0 lag in Patch 5 until reaching Moonrise Towers. the further into the tower I go, the more of the map I uncover and more objects I pick up/steal and more NPCs I talk to, the worse the lag gets. There's a 1-2 second delay in animations, actions, etc. It's especially noticeable in battles.

Is this something others are experiencing? I was really hoping this would have been fixed for good. It is not my computer specs, either, I have a brand new rig way above game requirements.

I experienced this, although it didn't get worse with more actions or exploration. It only happened when I was at Moonrise Towers. It really ruined a lot of Act 2 cut scenes for me.

I am pretty sure it also happened in a specific area in Act 1 but I don't remember where. Not in any central hub though.

I finished Act 2 last night and the lag and graphics errors got much worse in the Illithid Colony, the final fights and the final cutscenes. Assets took at least 5-10 seconds to load in, and some textures would keep flickering in quality if that makes sense, so graphics in cutscenes looked like something on N64 and the fight took forever due to the lag. Having similar issues still in the very first area of Act 3.

It was the similar for me on a save started before Patch 5. New saves don't have this problem.

Same. Also in a save started before Patch 5, no mods ever used. I feel it is mostly in the main hall of Moonrise and the side with the kitchen. The one with the sleeping quarters, the outside and the prison was normal, as was the Oubliette, the Wardens tower was laggy, especially for reactions like counterspell.
