If you experience random freezes during game play. Go to Settings then Video then advanced, and turn anisotropic filtering to OFF. It resolves the problem.
not for me lad EDIT: to make things more concise I have tried... editing the config file to reduce graphics/aa, removed shadows, high priority in task manager, launch startup commands, dancing around a fire chanting. perhaps there are 2 seperate 'mini freezing' problems, one caused by low performance due to it being unoptimised and one caused by ?????? the ???? one is making the game unplayable.
These mini freezes weren't happening for me prior to launch day hotfix. I also crash when loading a map while alt tabbed now, while before the aforementioned hotfix I didn't.
The mini freeze is due to draw distance items I'm pretty sure. I only get them when I get to a spot where the game starts loading in distant map. Since it loads in a giant radius instead of a LoS type deal you essentially have a gigantic circle that causes lag spikes when you move to a location that results in load in. Thats my geuss anyway. Not 100% but that makes the most sense to me because I have seen this problem in other games. I actually was able to replicate this issue in borderlands the presequel by maxing settings and moving a few feet until I hit a spot that loaded a bunch of stuff which caused a mini crash while resources would be loaded in. So maybe if we get a draw distance option we can test this and reduce crashes.
I had a massive, lasting about 30 seconds in a match earlier. Wasn't any place new. We had been fighting in that location for about 10 minutes at that point.
How long had you been playing the game at that point? I know my laptop starts performing worse if I play too long.
