Hey guys, just want to update you, if you're having problems with 2-5 second freezes every 5-10 minutes or so, turn off borderless fullscreen.

I know, i know, there's a white bar at top because it will technically be windowed, but it completely got rid of the issue for me. Hope this helps.

Dont worked for me

FIXED!! Download and install 'Battle Encoder Shirase' and limit the starfield.exe process to -8%.

Found the solution. This game must run on SSD.
I had the same issues when running it in HDD.

I did install on SSD. It's clearly stated in the minimum requirements that you need an SSD. Your only issue was you didn't read it. People are experiencing freezes even when they have it installed on an SSD and is fixed by following my tutorial.

that doesnt work for everyone, i get roughly every minute now a 2-4 second freeze.

the solution you wrote isnt working in my case.

i checked taskmanager and other hardware values with different programs and could only see that whenever it happens one core gets hammered while the other go down to normal desktop level.

the frames go down to 0 and when its over then everything runs smooth again till it happens in roughly a minute again.

just started recently for me ( ~10 hours ago ) with roughly 115 hours of playtime so far.

I was having this problem to begin with, but then I upgraded my SSD to something a bit faster and the freezing every minute or so went away. Played for several days with no issues, but then I landed in Akila City and it started happening again, and also sometimes parts of New Atlantis weren't loading sometimes. There'd just be a hole that I could fall through (happened to area where the lodge is, and the whole lobby where the parents apartment is) where there should be terrain. Started a new game to see if the freezing would go away again, and no bueno. No idea what to do at this point.

Found out it was my CPU, it was at 95-100 percent utilization the whole time. Upgraded my CPU and a few other things.... needed to be done anyway, my motherboard and cpu were very outdated. Anyway, it runs like butter now for me. I know this isn't an answer or solution you guys were wanting to hear, but yeah i upgraded lol.

BTW, i was running it on a i5 7500 with RTX 3060... my cpu was bottle necking like a mofo.

[HankDG]

I'd like to add something though, even with my booty cpu, i was running a solid 40-60 frames depending on where i was at with medium graphics. Just a lot of freezing

HI guys, I just wanted to share my experiences.
So much like a lot of people here, my game was playing smoothly at about 40fps but would randomly freeze completely for about 3-5 seconds. If it wasn't doing this, sometimes the audio will be choppy and cut out randomly. For example during NPC conversations, he audio will be silent but the NPC will be visually moving their lips etc as if to be talking. I also had issues with just being in the open world, and firing my gun for example, the gun will be firing visually but no gunshots can be heard.

I managed to solve this. The first thing I did was move my game from a HDD to a SSD. I also used the "Battle Encoder Shirase" application and following a suggestion no youtube, I restricted the CPU availablity by -8%. I've now played the game flawlessly at a consistent 40 average FPS with no audio or freezing issues. The game is now 100% playable!

I will also add, I'm playing this on a i7 4790k CPU which I know is not sufficient for this game from what I have been reading but I CAN play the game, without any issues now which proves that the problem is not the hardware itself alone but rather the software/game itself. So, don't go running to the shops to buy new upgrades because it could just be solved by these small changes (until the game developers fix it their end)

Enjoy!

Once upon a time it only happened to me when I landed in the coastal areas of a planet, but now it happened to me both in New Atlantis and Akila City, but very rarely. I was tempted to securely erase my SSDs and reinstall Windows from scratch, but Since it's a common thing I avoid it

[rufus_mcgayhee]

Yeah, thats the standard experience for anyone playing. Most innovative freezes
