  • Details:
    There is a delay in many interactions between zois, they stand idle in between conversation interactions, even when they are not waiting for another zoi to join. (I have only tested with npcs, cannot be sure the same happens with played families).

Do you mean the lag that sometimes occurs when the first part of some talking interaction is done and it takes a while for the second part to start? I’ve noticed that too.

Yes, I seem to get a gap in all interactions between zois now. I have also noticed a similar pause when clicking on npc’s - no interaction options appear immediately, and sometimes a second click is required. Also the option lists (ie: “Daily”, “Affection” etc.) take a while to appear on screen after clicking.

Basically, all interactions with npc zois seem to be delayed for me.

Edit: Further play suggests that there may be a lag in ALL interactions, including with objects, and in menus appearing when clicking on them. Not sure if the mods I use (listed above) could cause this, but I assume it is not happening to everyone as it would be more widely reported.

Thank you for reporting this. I am experiencing this problem too. I was sure it was because of my weak Nvidia 3070 card. I don’t use modifications.

Yup it’s happening to me as well. Kinda like how it was in the 0.4.0 patch but less pronounced.

I’ve noticed the same thing since the Ver. 0.5 update. I’m only playing a pair of Zoi roommates, no interactions with NPCs.

It doesn’t happen with all conversations, only sometimes. It also seems like just before the Zois “wake up” and proceed with the next topic in their queue, one of the Zois shifts position slightly. It’s like they were waiting to get into the correct position for the interaction but something is blocking them for a short time.

Same problems here. After the December Update Zois’ animations often feel like they are in slow motion.

I also experienced this and I think this is related to the addition of multitasking ( which is also not working correctly).

My Zoi was sitting next to an eating NPC and wanted to talk to him and since it was all laggy, I deleted the plate but it still didn’t get any better. Then I tried to talk to other NPCs at the club. The conversations took forever to even start and were laggy all along -.-

It may be, though it does not always seem to be directly related; ie: zois can have this issue without any multitasking going on at all. Sometimes the delays happen, sometimes they do not.

Out of interest (and off topic), how have you found multitasking to be glitchy? Seems infrequent, but working ok for me so far…
