Rome 2 freezing issue

[lynx29]

Hi there

I play grand camaign and if game is in the late phase when I have many provincies and armies, game started freezing more and more. Sometimes help restart computer but after 10 minutes freezing again.

I dont know where is the problem, my computer is strong enough. It looks like that game create all time some "trash" files which fills memory...Anyone know how to fix it?

my computer:
win 7 64bit
i5 4590 3,7GHz
16GB ram
gtx 980ti 8GB

lynx,

It is possible that you have a mod problem, and need to take them out, one at a time, deleting them in game folder, and then re-install one at a time. Alternately, some untick in mod manager, then re-try one at a time, and see if there is an incompatibiliy issue.

There are others that can comment on hardware that are on line.

I have attached links to other things to try as well.

Let us know how it is going.
R, Harper

@OP in addition to the info of @Harper: good hardware with Rome 2 issues could also be due to vsync (check if you have this enabled/disabled & test this), also check if you have unlimited video memory selected.

Do you use mods? If yes, highly likely that 1 of your mods causes issues: RE-READ every mod-compatibility note and/or contact the modder.

Good luck!

my graphic is set on the extreme, unlimited memory is off, vsync off

Im using radious total war mod and some small (cosmetic) mods, all mods are compatibility with last game version

You run Rome 2 on extreme?!?! While having eveything maxed out EXCEPT your mediocre processor? Which is the most important part?!?

Apologies: but I have to correct myself, crashes mostly means issues with mods. Freezing or lag during campaign = what I mentioned earlier OR having selected higher graph settings your machine actually can handle. Crashes while during battles are soley due to insufficient hardware (or having too high graph settings selected your machine is not able to handle).

The the greather the area you conquer during a campaign, the slower & more sluggish your campaign map will be. Go to the graph options panel & turn down some of your graph settings -> just fiddle around what works best for your set up.

I run Rome 2 on High graph setting + Units size = large, with 67 different mods, no crashes, no lags, no freezes, no issues. i7, 16GB RAM, 2GB GTX = smooth campaign map & very smooth battles.

Good luck & enjoy your campaign :-)

on the extreme setting game is runnig on the 60 fps average... freezing is not pernament, just once/twice pre 1 minut and if I set graphic opition on the lower details, situation is same. gtx 980ti is very strong graphic card
