[BUG] ME1 Framerate drop after killing docile salarians on Virmire

When killing the docile salarians in their cell on Virmire, the framerate is reduced to an unplayable level. Saving and reloading doesn't fix it. Shutting down the game and resuming also doesn't work...

@Fred_vdp same problem, what you can do, funny enough, is just start playing the game at 5fps and after you get past the Asari's office the game will slowly speed up to full speed by the time you hit Sovereign

Problem is I get simulation sickness from low framerates. It's the reason I could never get into Ocarina of Time. 😛

    I mentioned I had this problem in another thread, but I completely forgot I recorded a video of it. As you can see, it's confined to one very specific area of the compound. I had no choice but to trigger the fight and let my companions take care of it, because there's no way I can do anything at 7fps. Soon as I got to the Asari's office the problem stopped and I didn't have any more issues. 


    Edit: forgot to mention my hardware. I'm running a Ryzen 5 3500 with a GTX 1660 Ti and 16GB of RAM. Not sure which driver version matters, or even which is which. Looking at the DirectX diagnostic tool it says 27.21.14, but the GeForce Experience app says my driver is 466.27, so make of that what you will.
