Hello fellow Baldurians,

I've been having a consistent issue: small textures like stitching, jewelry, and other mostly armor/clothing specific textures take an extra .5s to load when I start talking to an NPC. It's very unsettling, and otherwise the game is absolutely stunning and realistic, so it ruins the immersion quite heavily. I've looked elsewhere for solutions, but no dice.

This issue has persisted through multiple clean installs, a reformat, fresh windows install, new GPU/CPU/ram/mobo, afterburner oc'd/uc'd, and with almost every setting toggled on/off in the bg3 settings menu(including trying Vulcan), and also a few in the Nvidia control panel.

Specs: 7800x3d, MSI Nvidia 5070 3x Shadow OC, 32gb 6000mhz ram cl30 EXPO enabled, Asus TUF x870 mobo with wifi, 850 PSU 80+ gold

Any insight into the issue or potential solutions are greatly appreciated.
