Mini freezes and performance issues

[frank_jerry]

Hi,

 

I made a post here previously about a strange issue where the game kept freezing for a second every 30 seconds or so. I decided to revisit the game and for the most part the game runs fine.

 

However I am getting a few performance issues.

 

• Firstly the game will have a 0.5 second freeze when a NPC starts talking (Text above them in a city or the keep). Also this freezing issue can happen when something loads in.
  
• When my chanter summons skeletons the frame rate will drop.
  
• In Defiance Bay after entering the city, the frame rate drops down very low where all of the civilians are talking near the south gate entrance.
  

I love the game by the way. I just would like to know if I can make changes to make the gameplay more smooth, or if these are known issues. Small things like this can draw me out of the game.

 

Thank you

Hey Frank_jerry,

 

Here is a (Forum Thread) with some performance suggestions.

Thanks for the reply.

 

I have tried everything on the list.

Have you tried to run without any overlay programms? Fraps, Steam, etc.

What gives real fullscreen vs borderless window?

[frank_jerry]

I will try without using steam. I do not use fraps.

 

Is this a common issue that the steam overlay causes?

 

I use fullscreen.
