Issues fixed
- Menus exhibit extreme slowdowns when going from one menu to another.
- This issue was fixed in Patch 1.10.[7]
Unplug USB audio devices[8] |

Unplugging USB audio devices such as DACs, headsets and microphones resolves the issue. Disabling them in the Sound control panel works too. Disabling the device's respective HID-compliant device in Device Manager may also solve the issue. |
