Sudden lag, frame skipping and unending animations after hours of play

So this is my third save game, I’ve played 150 hours and I’ve yet to be able to finish the main story because of bugs causing forced restarts.

This time around, suddenly after 37 hours of gameplay which have been perfectly fine, randomly I will get huge amounts of frame skipping which makes the visuals of the game jarring. Moving at speed is nausiating because of screen tearing, inputs for controls like combat are massively lagged and sometimes don’t respond at all. Additionally, when Henry starts moving and I release the controls he will stop physically moving but the walking or running animation will continue until I press another direction button.

I have absolutely no idea what has caused this, the first time it happened it started when it was raining, the second time there was no rain and I’d just woken up from sleeping in a bed. It is seemingly random.

I don’t want to restart for a fourth time only to find that my next game has the same problems when I get this far into it.

I was lucky i finished the main quest just before patch 1.3 came. On my second playthrough, not so lucky. Halfway in, same thing as you and others have described here, camera shaking, frame skipping, etc. Had to start a new game :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
