Patch #8 Freeze Issue

[TheHero]

Since PAtch #8 went Live the less powerfull your Hardware is the more Freezes you get.
Formely there was no such issue on my old Rig beeing a:
i5-4670k OC @ 4,3GHz
16 GB Ram
RTX 2060 6GB
4 TB Samsung EVO 870 SSD

So when will this Freezes every 10 sec on maxed Settings be gone?
Its no Joy anymore to play EA and i played every big Patch in BG 3 EA so far.
I can live with bugs and other nuisances in Gameplay but Freezing issue is a no go.
Of course the minimal CPU is not met but really, its a RPG and even when i turn down all settings to low, the Freezes persist, but not as often. But enough to be a time waster.
Not saying that gaming is time wasting, but waiting for the CPU Freeze or what ever that is what makes the BG3 Freeze since PAtch#8

Without any further info and diagnostics it sounds to me as something in your system isn't keeping up with asset loading. Most likely your cpu can't keep up and your system is waiting for it to catch up. Have you checked resource usage when the freezes happen?

[TheHero]

Its most likely CPU bottlenecking. But as previous patches never had those freeze issue im sure its origins are the difference between the patches.
Something must have been changed in programming for Load order of assets etc.
I guess Larian is still trying to figure out to what the minimum Hardware Requirements have to be in the final version.
Therefore Telemetric Data by playing BG3 with freeze issues can give Larian alot of insight. but not from my side anymore.
Hopefully they can then optimize all the Data flow of the game in short and not having freezes anywhere in the pipeline when Game is played on lower end Hardware.
I really like BG§ so far and cant wait for the final product.
But as i said. i got really bored by the freezes and stopped playing Patch#8 so far.
So not sure if Patch #9 or a future Hotfix will adress this issue.

Ah yes Ressources. CPU is around 90 to 100% sometimes when freeze happeneds.
but as i said, early Patches before #8 hadnt those issues. But on the otherside. They did alot of changes in Shaders and adding a lot more on grafical changes to the game.
Not sure how much of those is CPU dependend or if the GPU is sending a lot more Data to the CPU to process since #8

I have played very little with my amd ryzen 3 3100 + 1660ti combination, but I noticed this also immediately. Especially on cutscene after tutorial when ahip is crashing.

I've got the same problem. Patch 8 broke something, before that everything was ok. I just hope they gonna fix that in next patch, freezes are more iritating than low fps, there is no fun in playing like that.

I am having them as well. Coasting at 60 fps, then freeze for 2-5 seconds, shows 1 fps, then back to 50-60. Something is up.

[CapybaraConnoisseur]

Yup my PC isn't the best but it can hold very well on High/Medium and performance with this patch is worse than before. Didn't have such major Freezing issues, it costs me important moments sometimes, one frame freeze, trap goes off and damages my party.

[TheHero]

Have my hopes up for Patch#9 but am anxious the final release version will come earlier then expected in 2023

I got freezes too, i re install the game and than the issue was gone

Freezes Persist in Patch 9, Hotfix 30. so i do assume all the new aditions in Grafikrendering etc etc are just taxing the Hardware more then mine can deliver.

Less max FPS and prerendering Frames in pipeline, as well as Vsync instead of the better G-Sync/Free-Sync seems to reduce the time of freeze.
Guess its the CPU on my end which is the bottleneck here.
My CPU does not support Hyperthreading.
