Game started randomly moving slow
was wondering if anyone had a similar issue to this, but my game just started not running properly last night. the odd thing is that I was playing it for a few days before and even earlier yesterday. but then when I went to hop on to play with some friends last night it started moving everything but my mouse in slow motion. I tried clearing old save files and messing with a few settings but it still moves slow.

If you create a new Campaign, log in and play solo, does it still behave slowly?

Might be memory leaks. Just close and re-open the game.


Check for registry errors too. Use a Cleaner.

Very odd behavior, for sure. What is happening on the title screen? What parts are slow and how do the look?

I just had this exact thing happen once last night, first time. I restarted the game and seemed to be fine. Today I had about three crashed so I switched from Vulkan (which had been working great for me) to DirectX and zero problems right now. If you're using Vulkan try switching.

When I go to hover over an option it takes it longer than usual to load the fact I'm hovering over it. Does the same in game and in the settings screen.

I've been using DirectX since I got the game.

I'll have to try this when I get a chance to. I closed and re-opened the game like 4 or 5 time with the same issue occurring.

That sounds like something is running in the background, eating up CPU cycles. Could be downloading a Windows Update. Hard to say remotely.

Good idea of yours to run the PC in offline mode and see if it makes a difference. :MHRISE_OK:

just tried running my pc offline and it didn't change. I think like a previous comment said it might be a memory leak.
