After the last patch to V4.1.1.4414512 trying to search using the Left Alt key freezes the character movement for several seconds. Very frustrating and makes using this feature almost unusable. Also notice I had to slow down my panning speed to keep from panning several screens with any use.
Is there any way to correct the problem with using the Left Alt feature?

The most recent patch for both Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition is v2.6.x. Did you mean to post in the Baldur's Gate 3 forum, where people may be more familiar with the feature you describe?

Yes he has bg3

Cntl left is highlight items or stealth mode / hiding... How well it runs is purely your system so try lowering graphics and sound to medium settings

Thanks for the info! Didn't have this problem before the latest update to BG3. Never expected having to slow down anything with a I9, 32gb Ram, and Rx4080 graphics. lol
