Screen freezes but game keeps playing

[A-10 #Orthodox_Army]

I make it about 15-40 seconds into gameplay, and then the action just freezes, but I can still move (I can tell by the sound) and everything aside from the visuals appears to chug along as normal.
tried verifying the game files but no error founds

Try reconfig your game

1. Restart your computer

2. Try running the game in borderless windowed mode.
You can do this by right clicking the game in Steam, going to its properties --> Set Launch Options, and typing:

-windowed -noborder

This has helped on some freezing issues that players are experiencing.

I really want to like this game, but it gets to certain areas and either the flashlight stops working, or the combat slows to an extremely slow framerate. I have changed my game settings to low or disabled across the board and it still happens. I've tried setting various startup options as seen in some chats to no result.

What can I do to make this game playable?

Your computer is playing the game poorly because it falls short of the minimum specs and the iGPU is not supported by the game. double whammy


To fix the flashlight not working do the following.
add these commands to the games launch options ;
-force_vendor_id 0x10DE -force_device_id 0x1180 -dxlevel 95

Remove "-dxlevel 95" after you close the game or your settings will reset every time you run the game.

Here's how to add commands to the launch options
Right-click on the game title under the Library in Steam and select Properties.
Under the General tab click the Set launch options... button.
Enter the launch options you wish to apply (be sure to separate each code with a space) and click OK.
Close the game's Properties window and launch the game.

For performance problems and crashing either you have a broken mod or your saved game is corrupt.
Uninstall all mods.
Restart the computer.
Verify the game cache.

and then do the following
Disable and/or decrease the following settings:
In Options, Video, Advanced ...
set Dynamic Shadow Quality to DISABLE
set Cascade Shadow Map to DISABLE
set Dynamic Light Quality to VERY LOW

set Antialiasing Mode to NONE

Under the Black Mesa tab .. Uncheck God Rays

Decrease the games Resolution


Restart the chapter from the new game menu and quit using the previous saves.


You could roll back your install to a previous version of the game which is less taxing on low-powered un-supported systems.
CU3 Halloween would be a good choice.
