Game UI stuttering and lagging since Spring Patch, strange solution inside [1.0.0.129]

[HappyCompy]

Since the spring patch, the game has been very unresponsive and laggy in-game. I've spent around 4 hours testing and this is what I've discovered:

• Disabling all additional content including official DLC fixes the problem
• Enabling any/all of the official Civilization Packs brings the problem back
• Disabling barbarians does not fix the problem

HOWEVER, enabling the "NQUI" mod fixes the problem (even with mods, barbarians, and all official DLC enabled).

This leads me to believe that the problem is likely involved with some sort of UI element that Firaxis must have screwed up in the last patch. I truly hope Firaxis fixes this, because the smooth operation of this game is essential to its enjoyment, and we shouldn't need to use a mod just to run the game properly...

For me at times it will basically freeze or sometimes lag at <1 FPS for a time. It appears to be triggered when I execute the "Move to" key and am looking for a spot. I'm not sure, but it could be hitting esc or the move key again that makes it stop. It's hard to tell since I'm betting even after you hit the key it grinds for a bit longer. It doesn't happen all the time, so I'm not sure if it is the same issue.

same stuff, nqui is not helping though

Disabling all additional content including official DLC fixes the problem

I have pure vanilla and get quite rare hangs, seems to be similar to @legalizefreedom .. often near the end of a turn. But it is the only thing I get, I do not get any Civic screen hangs so perhaps there are multiple symptoms to the underlying cause which feels to me like a thread locking issue. I did try and capture more info but nothing went wrong when I had tracing on
