So if I disable all my extraneous network-connections (3 wireless adapters and a bluetooth adapter that aren't doing anything) and just have my local network active, that should solve it? E: I'll try the above, thanks for the advice. E2: I already had IPv6 disabled unfortunately, and turning it back on did nothing. Mine works when i disable IPv6 but before that I just disabled my primary network adapter and it works. Try disabling all adapters to ensure the game cannot try to call methods related to networking.

bhutchison is absolutely right. Just tried this out myself and it works. As soon as I disabled my primary network adapter (my secondary has no affect) the game would run smoothly, without any delays. Thanks for this suggestion, bhutchison. Hopefully this can help narrow the bug down. Interestingly, I feel, I experienced a similar bug with Kerbal Space Program, in that its initial launch would take upwards of 30 minutes if the primary network adapter was not disabled before launching the game. Since both Kerbal and Pillars of Eternity share the Unity engine, could this perhaps be a Unity engine bug? I haven't played Kerbal in some time, and the last I heard was that the developers there were trying to work with the Unity devs to sort out the problem - perhaps there is a crossover bug here thanks to the engine? Funny you should say that, I picked up KSP a month ago and was astonished by the launch time. It took ages to start the game up, so it must be a unity related problem indeed.

You don't need the internet if your purely playing the game though, you can just re-enable the adapter after playing. Up to you though .

Well what do you know .. that seems to work for me too! Happy Gaming :D

Okay so I am unsure if this solution has been posted before but I just did this and it has stopped all lag via inventory, audio during conversations and portrait selection. All I did was disable my ethernet adapter through device manager. If you are using wireless I suggest you disconnect. Once I am disconnected to the internet the game works perfect, let me know if it works for you!
