Audio Stutter and Game Freezing

[Yasha-kun]

I'm having an issue whenever the game is trying to load a new area or a cutscene. The audio grinds to a near halt and stutters and the game freezes - then immediatly after loading is fine.

Anyone else encounter this? Really breaks the flow.

PC Specs:

- OS: Windows 10 Pro x64
- CPU: FX 8150
- RAM: 24GB
- GPU: R9 290x

V-Sync on or off makes no difference and neither do graphics quality adjustments. The game runs buttery smooth until a load occurs.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing! Hopefully, it will be patched in short order. It's funny, these days so many games are released and then patched.

Even understanding that there is a lot of varying hardware on PC's, is it so much to ask that games go through proper QA before coming out and asking for money?

I had the same issue, I've move the install folder from my HDD to my SSD and got no issue after that... Could be only chance but if you have the opportunity, it would be a good thing to try.

EDIT: Just for more information, I've also remove the Steam Overlay in that process (so I'm not sure what corrected the issue).

same problem here

[Yasha-kun]

Ah. I'm running the game off of an SSD right now. I will try to remove the Steam Overlay and report back, that might be the key.

Another observation, Razer Cortex Gamecaster seems to create the issue, I've just try on and off and get the audio stutter as soon as it's start.

Also might be a coincidence but if I'm downloading via Steam I think it has an effect ???

[Yasha-kun]

I don't use that, so that can't be the root cause. Also, disabled the Steam Overlay and the issue still persists for me I'm afraid.

Ok I’ll try resetting everything the way I had the issue and do one thing at a time to figure out why I don’t have it anymore

[Yasha-kun]

Wow, thanks for going the extra mile. If you find anything, let me know - otherwise, I guess I'll wait for the dev to patch it out.

I have 390X and having occassional driver/game crashes along the way. I'm about 3 hours in and got 4-5 crashes so far. Game installed on SSD.

[Yasha-kun]

Matty, I had that same thing happen a few times as well. I think it was trying to re-spawn me, but failed miserably at it. Real buzzkill.

Same problem! I have a GTX 970, even in low graphics. Impossible to play.

Same problem.

GeForce 1070

This problem was when i play Squad and developers fix it. This problem seems to be because of the engine, i.e. Unreal Engie 4, because the same Squad done on this engine.
