I've been playing Witcher 3 for a while and from one day to the other the gameplay becomes unplayably slow. Starting the game and the menu works fine, but as soon as the save (any save for that matter) loads, it becomes laggy as all hell.
Now, this is the same description of problem this user had here https://forums.cdprojektred.com/index.php?threads/the-witcher-3-massive-lag.10998280/#post-11401939
The issue there was a plugged in HDMI cable where the port was directly connected to the graphics card (or so I've understood).
I don't have HDMI cables attached to my computer, but I did find the perpetrator: It's the Citrix Workspace App (for windows, since I'm using Windows 10) which I use to access a work computer from home (https://www.citrix.com/de-de/downloads/workspace-app/windows/workspace-app-for-windows-latest.html). Installed, Geralt doesn't want to do a step, uninstalled, Geralt runs like the wind (whether the app runs or not funnily enough doesn't make a difference). My layperson's diagnosis would be that Citrix is somehow claiming the graphics card/disabling other programs to use the graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060). Looking at the Device Manager, I see that Citrix installs a "Citrix Indirect Display Adapter" which I suspect to have something to do with the whole carfuffle.
So, me being not a very versed IT-person and also looking for a solution where I don't have to remove the Citrix app to slay drowners, I hope that someone in this forum would either know this issue and have a solution or maybe knows what is going on with this Citrix app and how to solve that issue.
Thank you very much in advance!
