Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Game freezes for 3-4 seconds every now and then

Version 4.1.83.3931
i7 4770K at 3.50 GHz
16 GB RAM
GTX 980 Ti
Windows 7 x64
Performances to Ultra, except a couple features (depth of field off, anisotropic down to x4).
Game on fast SSD (but SATA, not PCIe).

It's hard to pinpoint exactly when this happens but it's regularly, perhaps more likely when moving to another area. Sometimes it's several times in a short span of time. Everything freezes for a few seconds, then continues normally.

EDIT: that's by launching the DX11 version (with the complicated shift/admin start procedure, and when it actually starts...)

Scratch that, it's really random. Even staying at a fixed place, this happens now and then.

This also happened to me occasionally at every part of the game, starting from the main menu to character creation screen, cutscenes and normal gameplay. That was also on Ultra, using the Vulkan graphics option. Will try with DX11 and see if there is any difference.

Using GeForce 1060 GTX, Win 10, not using SSD.

I've seen that in the main menu too, indeed.
