    anyone experiencing lag/pauses since last patch?

    Since Thursday I will be playing and my character looks like he can move, but he can't shoot or get damaged for a few seconds, then all of a sudden it all catches up and I've used a full mag of ammo or am close to death...

    Just started since the last maintenance...

    So far there is this, the heroic drops on the last boss give you one, and the black tusk drone operator don't launch any drones...

    I've seen other players talking about the drones, but not any stuttering or pausing. Does this persist even after restarting the game?

    not really except when theres a whole lot of seeker mines going about and everyone throws nades at the same time. chain explosions/skills-use cause my computer to take a 0.5s break in the middle of the action sometimes

    i think its related to cpu usage as it is less noticeable if i dont have a stream on second monitor.
    *i've had this happening since launch though so its not really specific to the last patch in my case.

    Game just freezes infrequently, usually during combat. It is not very often thankfully, but always at an critical time.

    Last time it happen I was doing the Space HQ challenging and the client just stopped for about 5 seconds or so. When it came back I was dead. On my end there was no activity with the hard disk or any other performance bottlenecks indications.

    There is no warning or symptoms prior to the freeze the game literally just stops dead. When it comes back there is no up catch, like with lag, the game appears back in an instant up to date state.

    Hope this helps tract it down, because it is really annoying when it happens.

    Yes, it happens about once per play session and is mostly during combat that I notice it because I can aim, but not shoot. I also don't take damage for a few seconds, then it all catches up.

    drones, this and heroic mission drops seem to be the three bugs I ran into

    Stutters during heavy combat can sometimes be local issue. Try to have plenty of available SSD disk space. Is anything else running in the background?

    Past 2 days, I have seen NPCs run at me and disappear. Then re-appear right behind me and almost kill me. Then dis-appear when I hit cover, heal and fight back. I have seen them drop between floors and then appear back above where they was. Grenades just appear, a friend last night said he saw it thrown and was wondering why I didn't move. Fact is on my end, it wasn't thrown, it appeared out of nowhere and just killed me.

    If your friend saw it, seems to be an issue on your client side.
