freezing during dialogue

[BiggerBoss]

often during the game when characters are talking the game will freeze and then unfreeze, why does this happen?

i really need help with this

Well you all have certainly been friggin helpful. I see tons of people responding to people saying the game crashes entirely but not this.

What all have you tried? (eg. Reinstalling, changing language, etc)

[BiggerBoss]

reinstalling and changing settings

You need to provide more information if you want people to help you. Are the freezes random or only during certain dialogue portions? You say it freezes then unfreezes, what do you mean? Is it the button presses that dont seem to work, or does the entire game freeze (meaning no music either)? What input device are you using, a gamepad or the keyboard, and if the former have you tried unplugging/replugging or going to keyboard during the freezes?

The more information you give the more likely people will be to offer advice.

Well recently it doesn't freeze as much as it used to after I reinstalled. Basically if I try to talk to an NPC, every so often it'll freeze the text box for a good 5 minutes, before it finally decides to unfreeze so I can clear it and get back to the game. The rest of the game plays perfectly and I've relucantly just put up with it, but it's still rather annoying. The music does still play, it's just a character will talk and freeze in mid sentence, and you can't press any buttons.

Does your computer meet the minimum requirements? Which OS are you using? 32 or 64 bit?

[BiggerBoss]

64 bit

I had this happen to me once or twice. It seemed like the game stopped recognizing my gamepad for some reason. I could still use the keyboard to exit out or advance the dialogue, but none of my gamepad buttons would register. If I went into the control menu via keyboard, and switched the contol options to keyboard, then back to gamepad, it would work again.

That's one of my 3 questions...

Another thing seems to be when there's too many things going on on screen..it lags....alot. I've never had this happen with anything else. Usually it can be ok, but like I get up to the level where I fight alongside Curly and it's endless lag freezing on and off. I can't be the only one with this problem. My Computer should definitely meet the requirements of a game like this.
