Hi,
Originally posted in Technical Issues but reposting as it's a bug report.
I'm having a reoccurring issue on PC where the game is running *fantastic* and then out of nowhere the game begins to severely lag to the point where even pausing the game and getting to a menu is takes a minute or two of just mashing the menu button. This is going to sound *super* crazy - but I'm using a Bluetooth Xbox One controller and it appears there's some degenerate case where something about the Bluetooth connection or the controller is causing the game to lag. I have been able to repo this multiple times and I'm trying to get a video when it happens next but simply taking the batteries out of the controller and restarting the controller fixes the problem instantly.
I captured a repo of the issue and posted it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THg6jjXSubQ
Sorry for the poor(ish) quality - I'm no videographer.
Thanks!
