I have noticed that 2.4 seems to be hitting my machine harder than the game did pre-patch although I don't see any obvious game changes to explain why. If you can lower your video settings in game and get the problem to go away then the fix may be a newer video card, or to play with the lower video settings. The pauses on clicking NPCs, etc. can also be server side lag that doesn't show up in your FPS or network, but still pauses game play. Tricia
