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

Got hit by the Salarian bug last night. Here's the funny thing; this is the second time it's happened. The first time was when I was playing the original version on a different PC a couple of months before ME2 came out. This thing has nothing to do with the game being remastered. 

Same here as well.

Intel I7 7700
NVIDIA GTX 1660TI

16 GB RAM

Yeah, I got it too. It did go back to normal after killing the enemy geth in the area past the labs.

Can confirm this happens for me as well.

I had to load an earlier save and simply not kill the salarians. This definitely needs to be fixed.

This happened to me too. 

It seemed to fix itself when I ran into the crazy salarian in the cell that kills himself when I didn't let him out. 

EDIT: Nevermind. I had to go back and found the lag again. But it cleared up when I reached Rana.

I'm facing the issue too.

DxDiag attached.

I powered through this bug aswell, Sometime around the asari secretary is when it started to resolve itself.

Thing is i think its area oriented. When i was slapped with the bug i backpedaled through the complex and headed over to clear a part of the start of the facility i hadn't done yet.

When i got to the dead end the framerate was normal again. So, i got back on track and when i reached the area above the cells with the salarians the bug was back.

Powered through it to Rana Thanoptis (asari secretary) and it started fixing itself again the further away i got from the salarian cells

Curious thing is happening. Typically even at 4k i'm getting in the realms of 150-200+ fps and in less optimized situations 100ish. The game has performed beautifully aside from the fact that on planets in the mako i quite often experience brief frame rate drops that seem to coincide with the weather repeating.

However i ran into my very first cratered issue that makes no sense.

On vermire, Once you get into the base and you talk to the one salarian that tells you what saren has done to his fellow comrades, you can choose to let him go or leave him or trust him, after letting him go, the option to inspect his indoctrinated comrades becomes available to which you can let them out, leave them or kill them. I opted to kill them which kills the music, and then proceeds to show sheppard pop each one rapidly before cutting back to the game. At this exact moment where the cutscene ends, the frame rate instantly tanks, the game becomes an unresponsive mess to the point that even trying to press any keys of any sort results in delay, like the game imploded from that singular choice. Initially i thought perhaps it was the pc i'm on doing something funky, so a restart and reload into the game resuming from a save after i had done that task loads into roughly 9fps or lower frame rate and if i continue to try and play it keeps slowly dropping until it's a pure slideshow.

Out of curiousity i loaded a save JUST as i walked into the prison area before talking to the salarian and the performance instantly leaps to 200+, smooth as silk. Talk to him, and then saved, then investigated the indoctrinated individuals, killed them, and instantly killed performance again. Reloaded, this time i left them which does a different cutscene, and performance remains i can continue. Reloaded, chose to left them out, again different result, but performance remained good, reloaded, chose to kill them, performance tanks.

Anyone else able to reproduce?

Just figured i'd drop this video in as well just to give a clear indication of the differences in outcome without restarting the game but simply reloading prior to the event taking place and the different choices you can make.

I should also point out that the door opens before sheppard punching the pad to open the door, not a big deal but kinda funny i think.
