I've been playing the game casually, but this play session I started to notice lag, and lots of it, when there's usually zero lag. The game became nearly unplayable at times due to the constant stuttering, even though nothing was actually happening. As I landed near a settlement that needed to be liberated, I noticed the dirt path texture was gone, and that some buildings were in their no-collision low-poly form.

Seeing this, I created a savestate and left the area, expecting to see the terrain no longer update, except it did, and when I left the area, the lag stopped. I went to a nearby city, and everything was fine.

I then returned to that area, and the lag returned, as well as nothing loading. I tried getting closer to the stronghold, and everything loaded in, the lag getting worse. I left the area and came back, once again the lag and lack of loading resumed.

Finally, I tried liberating the stronghold, and the issues persisted. I think this is this game's version of the Big Glitch, but it's only limited to one settlement and doesn't completely halt loading.
