Game Pausing

Game is repeatedly pausing every second. Only way out is to dodge-roll. Game works intermittently for some combat, but any cut scene, prescribed interaction resets the pausing cycle.

It is NOT a connection issue as it does not occur in town, only in instances.

Game is essentially unplayable at this point.

The game will intentionally pause if either;
  • It believes your connection is poor (> 100 ms), or
  • it believes a controller you're playing on has been removed

If you want them to investigate whether it could be happening outside of those, they probably want at least both the game's log file & an MTR log to the server. Otherwise it's potenitally non-actionable.
