Familiar stalls after exiting dialogue, A 6-7 seconds delay Options

[Salk]

Hello!

At first I thought it was a local problem with my installation but I made a new, clean one using the DVDs and the problem persist (tested with ToB, the very beginning of the game).

In short, every time I talk to the familiar and end the dialogue, the familiar's actions are delayed for 6-7 seconds. I cannot move, I cannot cast spell, I can't do anything. Everything resumes normally after those 6-7 seconds the familiar is stuck on a spot.

Can anybody else confirm this is normal, vanilla behavior?

I tried making some search here and there but I didn't find any topic regarding this, which makes me very suspicious it's a real bug.

I fear I am cursed...

Thanks!

Hello!

Maybe something is overburdening the engine? Like tons of invisible creatures created by some script.

An (almost) infinite loop triggered by some mod? That is, for example, it creates invisible creatures constantly until a certain condition is not met anymore.
