The lag begins as soon as I kill Dietmar and the Staff of Pergamon drops. Then once I kill the last enemy the lag reaches full force.
I have to press and hold the mouse button down for 3-4 seconds to interact with buttons or move to a location.
I've tried changing graphics from high to very low with no change. Restarting the game makes no difference to the lag. I can load a save before the fight and the lag is not present. But any save after the fight is filled with lag.
I hope some answer can be found for the cause. I'd very much like to continue playing this great game which I am 16 hours into.
