The last couple of days I've been really struggling and yes, it's Act 3. I play on PC and I have issues with my companions not following some of the time (particularly when I use Waypoints. From Rivington to the Lower City. Well I say some of the time, which is today but yesterday it was most of the time. The Waypoint thing is that the Waypoint stays active too long and while it's active (like what you see when you first meet Gale) your companions can't move. But yesterday I also had it in Wyrm's Rock where companions didn't want to follow across the bridges or into another room.
Today I've been mostly fine until I used a Waypoint in the middle of the map (lower city central wall). My companions didn't want to follow for at least 30 seconds but probably more. And from that moment on it was harder to get them to follow, I had to stand still and wait 30 seconds again. It's like there's a delay.
Another issue is that sometimes when a convo gets triggered I have to wait, again 30 seconds, for it to trigger. For example, in the Blushing Mermaid I wanted to loot the opulent chest in the back and I couldn't open it. I had no idea why but after something like 30 seconds a convo popped up because someone saw me trying to steal.
Also doors are unopenable today, at least visually, but you can actually just walk through them even though they seem closed. It's just annoying that they don't open visually. I mean, I guess it's an improvement over doors visually being open but you can't walk through them and you have to close and reopen them (that's what it's been like for at least a month now for me).
Oh and there's an issue with the Potent Robe which has been the case for a few days as well. It only shows the skin properly when I get close to my companion who wears it (hireling). As soon as I go a little bit further away the whole skin is messed up and goes white. And it's the first time this has happened as well.
I'm just not really wanting to use Waypoints and just hope that my next session will be better. I can still manage quests today fairly decently (Yesterday it was near impossible so I quit playing), but the game has a very delayed response when you interact with something or someone some of the time. It's not all the time but really it's not fun to play like this. Also sometimes npc's around me have lag and walk but don't move and that can take a while as well.
In a way I'm glad I'm not the only one having such issues because it means these issues are not on my side, but I do hope that these things can be fixed soon. From the looks of it, it's been going on for a while.
