UPD: I guess this thread can be closed. Played for a few hours now and the issue hasn't shown up yet. I guess it really was Prey that due to some errors in the end was saturating my CPU with some kind of retries and that sometimes affected my gameplay. That's sorted out. =)
Anyone else getting these weird freezes/spikes mid-game sometimes?
More specifically, you're playing the game and then, all of a sudden, the game freezes for like 1~2 seconds tops, without the music stopping, and then everything returns back to normal.
Details of my case:
- The game always runs at +60FPS in my machine, even when crowded like hell. Sometimes over +120FPS. I have a good rig, so the hardware issue is not in question.
- I also haven't installed anything recently that would lead to this change in behaviour.
- I'm not really sure when this started to happen, or after which update this started to happen. The game always worked without this weird freeze. It happear all of a sudden.
- I'm also not running anything in the background that would influence this. At least, not anything that I hadn't used to run before this issue appeared.
- I have plenty of RAM free, so that is not the issue too.
- The CPU/GPU is also not the issue, as I said previously: this started after a specific recent update to the game, and I can run WAY more demanding games in the PC with the same stuff opened in the background, etc etc, without any kind of issues like this.
- Temperatures and down-clocking is not an issue here. I have my temps always under surveillance, and they are has have always been in-game in the past. Infact, since ever I had this PC running the game.
- I run the game from an SSD drive, the main OS SSD drive, so HDD is not a problem too.
Also, this happens sporadically... So I have NO IDEA why it happens...I would think that it could be the game trying to connect to the server but... Usually when that happens, the game doesn't freeze... The arrow on top simply disapears and damage and exp, etc stops updating, without affecting gameplay so...
Any ideas?
