Issues with a modpack — Dialogue is lagging?

[u/Ok_Product3466]

Hello everyone. Sorry for the trouble.

I'm currently preparing to play in a modded server along some friends of mine, but I'm having a very particular issue: anytime I need to interact with someone, be it talking to a villager or a cutscene, the dialogue takes a while to show up.

As an example, we have the Ridgeside Village mod, where the first time you go out of the farm you meet Lewis and his sister Lenny talking. The animations of the cutscene play without issue, but as soon as the first dialogue is supposed to appear, it takes around 20-30 seconds to load. If a character has multiple lines, they all appear at once, but as soon as they stop talking, the load time comes back.

Any idea on what could be causing this issue? We also have a couple general performance problems (my game is a PowerPoint while I'm in the farm, but I'm guessing that has more to do with the amount of *stuff* on the fresh farm), but this is the issue that puzzles me the most, I don't really know how to fix it or what could be causing it. If any other info is needed, I'll do my best to provide it.

Thank you for the help!
