Game freezes momentarily when taking pictures

[Tureno]

So I've played about 20 hours worth of this game and I have been having an on going issue where my game would freeze/stutter for roughly 5 seconds and come back. It happens mostly when using a camera to take photos. This is very frustrating when needing to take a picture of a ghost because that time frozen often gets me killed because I am unable to get to safety. My computer and internet are both up to snuff and I've fiddled with the options a little bit I can't figure out whats causing this to happen. Any suggestions?

I have the same issue. I wasn't sure if it was the game or my computer as I have similar issues with other games.
I'm assuming it was to do with my hard drive, but after moving the game to my SSD the problem still persists. My assumption is it's something to do with my processor, but I have still not managed to solve the problem.

I'll let you know if and how I resolve the problem.

Just tried something and it seems to have worked for the most part. I ran file checker to scan for possible corrupt files in windows.

Open command prompt as admin on your computer and enter the command
sfc /scannow

It will take a few minutes and if there are any corrupt files it should repair them. This is for windows of course, not sure about any fix for other OS. Hope this helps.

I gave it a shot and it came up clean. Does it check external storage or only the computer hd?

Just the Windows folder.

Your rig seems okay.
Does it freezes more/less when you photo different things? Like house, and then just the outside of the house?

Mine does this as well.

My game also stutters sometimes whenever the ghost is moving around before it shows itself.

[Tureno]

It does it randomly, like I'll just be walking towards the house at the start, it'll freeze for approximately 5 seconds, then comes back. But the times I know it does it most often is when a photo is being taken. If I have the camera and go to take a picture, it'll freeze, I count to 5, then the camera flashes and I'm back. Sometimes it happens when others take a photo, could even be in a different side of the house, but not nearly as often as when I have the camera. I'm pretty careful with not wasting too many shots since we're only allowed 10 pictures per round so I'm only taking pictures of things within the house when this is happening. I've had to refrain from taking photo duties to minimize my freezing which is lame but keeps my game moving.

I don't know if anyone has found a proper solution but this also happens to me constantly. Whenever I or someone else takes a picture my game stutters for a second, this also happens when the ghost interacts with anything. It's a frustrating thing to deal with and I really want to enjoy this game fully, if anyone has any suggestions I am all ears.
