Mimics freeze game

Did anyone else have this problem?

Every time I fight a Mimic. After ~10 seconds in the fight the game starts freezing on me. I get 1f/10sec and cannot use any skills or drink health potions. If I manage to lag away from the monster, the game unfreezes a little.

In Beta1 I died of that one Mimic and in Beta2 I died twice of Mimics.

    Yes, I've had this happen often also.

    It's like in this screenshot, as you can see the frames are overlapping:

    Yes I have. They are tough anyway, but this def. contributed to most of my deaths during CB2.

    Even my game freezes and the frame rates go down drastically when fighting a mimic! In the quest "the sea caves" in the blackdagger ruins (I have talked about this here http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?75681-My-game-crashed-three-times-and-even-the-crash-reported-crashed-the-third-time ) the frame rates drop so hard it wasnt possible for me to fight it. All this time the sound keeps playing like you are stuck in a horror movie and all you can do is listen as your character gets smashed and chomped to bits... and then the game crashes and in the first few times it even started the game error report software allowing me to report the errors but after sometime even that eventually stopped working... and all i got was crash.

    Still the same problem.
    This time I played a Great Weapon Fighter rather than a Guardian Fighter, my luck! I didn't die because the Mimic was dead before my screen completely froze :)
    In blackdagger ruins for example:
    Opened the chest, Mimic attacks. I kill the mimic in ~10sec, then it starts lagging like hell, the screen freezes for 1-2 seconds and it feels like it tries to take big gulps out ot video-memory. Like if Windows would use all its memory and pages onto harddrive.
    A few seconds later, everything is back to normal.

    Ditto, I experienced greatly reduced framerate so extremely choppy graphics once mimics activated. I believe it may have a connection with cpu size; while in the same quest with another, at a mimic, their computer didn't have the same framerate reduction issue as mine did, but my cpu is only a core duo while theirs is a quad core.

    Cannot be the CPU, I got the i7 2820QM chip with up to 3.2GHz quadcore, with HT 8 cores. I think there is something very specific with these creatures that uses a certain function not available on most hardware? Or might be a drivers bug?
    What GPU do you use? I got an AMD 6970M in here, all with the latest drivers.

    p.s. and 16GB 1600MHz RAM, which cannot cause the problem. I feel a little bit left alone with this problem :(

    This is my Spec
    Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7

    Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (It came with 4Gb pre-installed but 16Gb is supported)

    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
    My frame rate came down to 1 2 and nill while fighting a mimic and also group quests become unplayable sometimes and I have to go hide in a corner till the fps normalizes :(

    I hope someone is reading this. Of course the game is optimised to nvidia cards (because of hype from the 90's) but please make it working for all of us *devil-smiley*

    It is something other than the GPU, we have the same GPU, just different CPU. Only other difference is MB (which shouldn't really affect gameplay, it is only a P5K vs a P5Q), and my Ram is 6 gb vs 8 gb ... Possibly 2 gb of Ram can make that much difference?

    Also, while the Mimic completely bogged MY graphics down, there was no noticeable lag on their graphics while fighting the Mimic.

    Had no issues with that in beta 3 and i took them on a few times.

    I didn't have this issue at all...
