Game Slowdowns whilst playing animations

Hi All,

Im experiencing some game slowdowns at times. Most of the time the game plays fine, but sometimes the frame rate drops to 1-5 fps, which makes the game mostly unplayable. It seems to be during the animations and some lighting effects, but not during cutscenes.

Its not an issue with the machine per say, as I can play the same dungeons and cutscenes and there is no issue, it only happens "occasionally"

Ive done some basic tracing on my machine, and cant see anything that would be affecting the performance, but does anyone know what perf counters/objects/logging I could capture to try to track down the issue?

Thanks

Matt
