Hi all,
I got the game a couple of days ago, and since then I’m experiencing constant freezing. I tried every solution I could find in forums but with little luck. I have quite a good PC (the game runs at 60 fps with everything on high or above) but it keep freezing for 3-4 seconds quite often - every 30-60 seconds in general gameplay, every 10-20 second in cutscenes and combat. The game is pretty much unplayable, especially during combat
Looking at the resource manager it looks like one of the CPU is bottlenekking.
My PC:
Alienware 17 with i7 7820HK
Geforce GTX 1080
32 GB RAM
1 TB SSD
Patch 1.4.1
here is what I have already tried:
- changing settings in game (borderless seems to improve the freezing slightly) all the rest doesn’t make much difference
- use BES.EXE - I read about this in some forum for limiting the max CPU used. This does not make any difference to my PC, the same CPU core is still bottlenecking
- reset the affinity for the CPU - again no difference, CPU still bottlenecking
- use user.cfg - I read in another forum to use this:
Write r_VSync = 0
sys_MaxFPS = 60
e_ViewDistRatio 200
e_ViewDistRatioVegetation 250
sys_main_CPU 0 - This is the CPU that bottleneck
sys_physics_CPU 2
sys_streaming_CPU 4
r_TexturesStreamPoolSize 10240
e_ShadowsPoolSize 4096
e_ShadowsMaxTexRes 1024
e_LodFaceAreaTargetSiz= 0.0008
e_UberlodDistanceRatio 4.0
r_Sharpening -1.2
This seems to improve the normal gameplay freezing (outside combat and cutscenes), but it’s still not a fix.
Does anybody have a solution for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
