Constant freezing

[Teeth]

I've run into a very annoying problem recently. It doesn't happen always, but when it starts happening it happens a lot. My screen freezes for 2 or even 5 seconds. While it does that it remembers my input from the moment it starts freezing. So if I move forward to an enemy group and it freezes I keep moving forward for the duration of the freeze, mostly resulting in my death.

I was hoping you computer geeks could tell me what my problem is.

I've had this for ages. Suck it up, pussy!

I doubt you have had it the same way as I have it sometimes, it is pretty much unplayable. On my old computer it used to do very small little freezes, pretty much always, but they didnt happen all that often. And atleast with those freezes I could still backpedal and downblock.

I dont have this problem always. But for some reason it starts happening and then it happens a lot, like every 20 seconds. and the freezes take much longer. Worst thing though is that I can't do anything. If I happen to move forward, I just keep moving forward.

Let me see:
Freezez for 10 seconds where you can't do anything and can't change anything and your character continues doing his last command?
Occurs randomly but often enough to be an issue?

Sounds a lot like what I have.

Had what you have, and it's pretty much unplayable. Just reseting the router worked for me though.

How can you live with that? One of those freezes on the wrong moment, which is about 80% of your cRPG time, I am always either fighting or close to the fight, and you die, have to wait for 3 minutes. If you think that is acceptable, suit yourself. I´m going to try to fix this problem and if I cant my cRPG session ends whenever this starts.

Like doing it once and it being gone forever, or doing it everytime you get that problem?

Everytime it happens. It fixes it for me though, and it's therefore a fair amount of time between each time it happens.

I get this problem when my graphics card gets too hot. When I take steps to remedy that the problem goes away... just another idea for ya.

How does one remedy that?

Clean out all of the built up gunk in the interior of the computer and make sure the interior fans are clear of build up so that it is getting the proper air flow.

To take it a step farther, you can take off the side panel and put a giant fan right up to it, which is what I do. If it's still too hot you can try putting ice in front of the fan like an old timey air conditioner.

Just reach in and touch the graphics card when you are having this problem and if it's super hot to the touch, this may be the issue.

I noticed an improvement after turning Texture Detail down in the launch options. I think that makes it so you load fewer textures into memory or does something to the LOD on models at distance

Anyway it might be a placebo for me but it seems better after turning that down to 50%

Get the low-res texture pack. Fixed them for me.

Havn't had any lagspikes since I got my new computer.

Yay. \o/

Try this first.

You started experiencing this lately, as in this worked fine before?

You need to check if your gfx card isn't overheating and/or if the fans are not clogged.
