What about lower-end machines which are are above minimum requirements but still cannot get the game to run fluidly even on the lowest possible preset? Are they a priority too or should we expect the next patches to address performance related issues only in high-specs computers? I'm asking because I find myself on the lower-end side and I reported the problem here, on the forum. It is a bit concerning, to say the least, to see that only issues in high-end PCs are being taken into account. Thank you in advance.

1. Drivers and OS are all up to date 2. Playing at the lowest resolution (which is 1280x729 if I recall correctly) or the highest available (the native 1920x1080) doesn't make any significant difference. 3. I'm already doing this. I know 4GB of RAM is not ideal, but it is supported in the system requirements. I already tried closing every single possible resource-eater program, even explorer.exe Here is a dropbox link for the saves, I don't know what good they are for the problem at hand, but I guess you guys know better than me. https://www.dropbox.com/s/87433noo82gl202/saves.zip?dl=0

My system is: Nvidia 940MX 2GB VRAM Intel i5 7200U 4GB RAM DDR4 1000GB HDD Description of the problems: 1) The most urgent matter is that after a short period of time, the game stutters/hard freezes almost continously for 3-8 seconds, making the game unplayable. The freezes occur mostly after loading an area or at the start of the combat. When this happens, the audio is also intrerupted. Framerate is kinda good, between 40-60fps (60fps mostly in indoor areas) on the lowest settings and 30-35 on medium-high, maybe even 45-50 in indoor areas. But the hard freezes are awful. The framerate drops to 20, 14, 10, even 4 fps (or 1-2 fps during loading screens) They also occur when opening menus or items/character panels. Take a look at this video, in the beginning. This video isn't mine, but it is the same kind of issue. In my case is a lot more severe and it doesn't happen only during combat, but persist even when exploring an area. 2)Loading Screens. The initial loading screen (after starting the game) is taking something between 3 and 5 minutes. Other loading screens are taking 1 to 3 minutes. Important Files: 1) I don't know how relevant this is, since it happens no matter how many times I start a new game, but here we go. https://www8.zippyshare.com/v/S74GScts/file.html 2) Output log Attached 3) System Specs/dxdiag Attached If you need anything else, a video proof or something, please do tell. I just want to play the game. DxDiag.txt output_log.txt
