Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems Game freezes for a few seconds every minute

Hello,

Ever since Hotfix 3, the game seems to freeze for a few seconds every minute.

My friend has a GTX 1060 (3GB), Intel i5-6400 2.7GHz and 16GB of RAM and he experiences these freezes very frequently (every minute, and sometimes more frequently, making it very challenging to play the game).

I have a GTX 1060 (6GB), Intel i5-8600K 3.6GHz and 16GB of RAM and I experience these freezes a bit less frequently (every 8min or so), but they do happen.

The freeze usually lasts for 2-3 seconds.

In the Windows Task Manager (performance tab), I could see my CPU graph spikes up to 100% while the GPU goes down to 0% during these freezes.

It also seems like these freezes are more frequent in certain areas of the game than in others.

- Lowering the graphics settings in the game doesn't seem to help.
- Switching between DX11 & Vulcan doesn't seem to help.
- Turning off Windows Background Recording doesn't seem to help.
- Disabling Windows SPPSVC in the registry doesn't seem to help.
- There is plenty of free space in the hard-drives.

Does anyone else has this issue?

Hopefully this can be resolved soon.
Thank you for the effort!

Hi all,
first of all, thank you larian studios for a great and fun game, your hard work is showing and your product is AMAZING!

I Have the same problem and a similar computer spec.
My game freeze every few second for 4 sec or so and for now I can't play the game.

BTW, I Had the same freezes in divinity original sin 2 definitive.
Looking forward for a fix or solution.

Larian if you could address this, it would be awesome

Thanks guys for a great job, this game is addicting!

I had the same issue before my HDD died yesterday night, so I dunno if it's linked to it or not.

I've been experiencing this since the last update as well.
