The game has become unplayable with Patch 6. I hope Larian releases a hotfix soon, or at least a way to go back to pre Patch 6. After installing the patch, I experienced the following problems among some other minor issues not worth mentioning. (I play on PS5, no mods):
- It takes 20-50 seconds for merchants to load their inventory. When ending the conversation with a merchant there is often a "freeze" for 10-30 seconds, during this time, the merchant's animation moves but nothing else happens.
- Fights have become intolerable laggy, especially if enemies are in another room or on another level than the party. I had two fights after installing the patch: First one during the Free the Artist quest in Act. 3 when you have to fight the Poltergeist and Tormented Soul enemies at Lady Jannath's Estate, it took each enemy between 20-60 seconds to make their turn during the fight. Second one was the final fight at the end of the Investigate the Suspicious Toys Quest when you have to kill all Banites at Felogyr’s Fireworks, it also took the enemies at least 20-60 seconds to make their turn during the fight.
- During the second fight I mentioned above (kill all Banites at Felogyr’s Fireworks) the game crashed three times in a row, so I cannot end the quest. This may be because you also have to kill the secretary during the fight, who is also a merchant, albeit with a very small inventory.
As I play on PS5 without mods I don't think these are problems that only I have. My overall impression is that Patch 6 should not have been released in the current version. I'm going to put the game aside for now until the bugs are fixed.
