Since i successfully installed mass effect 3. I'm experiencing smooth performance of the game itself during almost any gameplay situation. Except for one situation only, I discovered whenever i try to finish off an enemy with a charged melee attack up close (default " F " key) the game freezes for about 5-10+ seconds. This happens with every finishing-move type situations whenever a charged melee attack is used so far. On addition im also experiencing this kind of freeze when im casting the incinerate spell type (not ammo kind) up close an enemy in melee range to finish him off. And that is kind of annoying since i just want to make good use of the new feature(s) to finish off foes in more exciting different ways. I dont know the cause of this and i can't think of a solution either, since my pc rig is still quite high-end despite that my build is about 1.5-2 years old now. i can still run any new game on maximum video settings with smooth performance so i dont know why i have this freeze at all, since besides that special move and spell the game runs "freeze free". Drivers are up to date (as usual) did an "install repair check" to make sure no game files are broken but that did not solve anything at all.
Anyone an idea if i can just concider this a game related performance bug ? or is there something else the cause? any comment would be very much appreciated.
