I've been playing with the 1.03 patch from the start, and as people who played with the earlier 1.02 patch have stated many times, these lag issues were introduced with the 1.03 patch. It is clearly a software issue - something's not working as it should. I can only hope that the 1.04 patch fixes this. If it doesn't, then I might just go through the trouble of re-installing the game and updating only up to 1.02.
Yeah, I have the same problem and it showed up with 1.03. I don't have a great rig, but it meets specs, and I did an entire playthrough with almost no lag. There was a bit at the end, but otherwise the whole thing ran pretty smoothly. My second playthrough was going well too, until 1.03. Now it is unplayable. Mainly the skills and damage just take way too long to register -- what most refer to as combat lag.
It absolutely is something that showed with 1.03. I've just got the game shelved until 1.04. If that fixes it, I'll probably do a couple more playthroughs. If 1.04 doesn't help, I'm also going to reinstall and only go to 1.02. The game's too good to abandon completely if 1.04 doesn't work, but hopefully it gets it back to previous performance levels.
