Outskirts Crypt Lag
Windows 7 - ATI Radeon HD 5770The Crypt in the Outskirts has started having a slide show effect once entering after getting the quest from Mikul. Starting with the cinematic with the woman dead on the floor and about 10 seconds of lag afterwards and after a ghouls dies like other users have posted. The strange part is on my first game I had absolutely no issues with the crypt. The game ran great on high settings everywhere else as well in the Prologue and Chapter 1.I only had one mod installed "Perfect Blood" and uninstalled it but it yielded nothing. I also attempted under clocking my card as one moderator mentioned in the many posts I read but no luck there either. Lowering my settings also did not help. Same amount of lag.I am pretty vexed at what could have caused it. I have a solution. One user suggested loading back on saves and I did on quite a lot but with no luck. Much further back it improved the lag very slightly when entering but was still very harsh. I eventually just loaded up my save where I just got done fighting the barghests after Alvin at the start of Chapter 1. I went and gave the beggar white gull and went straight to Mikul to get the quest. Entered the crypt and had no lag and ghouls died just fine. I certainly didn't rush to this quest like this on my previous game. I had done mostly the same progression aside from purchasing books and farming orens via fighting and poker. The only big difference is I did Brogg's quest before dealing with Mikul in the previous game.I can restart Chapter I all over but I sort of would prefer not to do that. I've read quite a few posts and other users have various issues with crypt areas. I wouldn't be too happy if I was progressing in Chapter 2 or Chapter 3 and came upon another slide show and have to restart a chapter again.I am willing to back up my saves and install the game again but from how it seems (despite my lack of knowledge with the game files) it seems like my saves are somehow bugged or corrupted in some form from my choice of progression or actions. I could also just suck it up and fight through the lag but I fear it appearing again over the course of the game. Especially when revisiting the same crypt for the trophy quest. Thanks for any tips or advice!
