Steps To Reproduce: Play the game for an unknown length of time until the loot box opening lag begins.
Images / Videos: Sorry, none available, but happens at literally every loot box.
Host or Client: Host
Players in your game: One, singleplayer only
At some undefined point the lag begins when looting boxes. There seems to be a correlation with box content quantity: the more items inside, the longer it takes to open. A single item box like a backpack takes 2-3 seconds. A box with several items can take up to 5-7 seconds. The first playthrough this happened in, the effect got so bad that it would start crashing the game after opening a few of the high-content boxes.
Getting tired of that, I deleted my save file and started over. The boxes opened normally until I had covered probably 3/4 of everything possible in the game. So far crashes haven’t begun, but the lag is getting worse. I’m sure it won’t be long.
Oh…after a box is opened, subsequent openings of the same box is normal speed. I assume the contents are cached for reuse.
