Performance issue with Malwarebytes and my temporary fix.

[IkragKul]

I've seen people mentioned this a few times in different threads but no thread dedicated to it. So here's my experiences.

CPU: I7-12700
GPU: Nvida Geforce RTX 4060ti
Experimented with different kinds of settings.

Pattern:
_ After about 1.5 hours, game started stuttering.
_ Save menu shows blank.
_ Can't exit game.
_ Sometimes game crash on itself.
_ Stuttering will get to the point where it brick the whole system and I have to restart.

Using resource monitor when stuttering just started happening, I see Malwarebyte was trying to write something to the SSD where I store the game (around 100Mpbs) consistently without sign of slowing down.

_ Stopping malwarebyte solve the issue right away. Save menu reappear and I can exit the game.

_ Start malwarebyte and reopening the game. Everything Normal again.

Issue comes back after around the same time.

Repeat.

This is my exact issue! Thank you! I was thinking I had some kind of hardware failure.

yea it didnt take long before i noticed hanging/freezing for a second or two in game after a strike or finishing off an enemy, then i would get hangs moving from one room to another or area to another. eventually closed out applications until closing malwarebytes fixed it

There's a simple permanent fix: Don't use MWB as your active solution and just keep it as a back up.

Windows Defender has been mostly on par with it for almost a decade now, and every dev is coding around Defender as part of the normal Windows environment.

2024 and you're running 3rd party anti-malware? What is this, 2004?
