Game Is Unplayable due to Freezes

[Good Honest Gamer]

Every 10-30 seconds the game will freeze for 2-4 seconds.

I've tried pretty much everything i've seen posted here

- Disabling internet adapters
- changing priority high/low
- running as admin
- limiting refresh rate to 60hz ( I only have 1 monitor )
- No gamepads
- Special K modding tool to buffer XInput
- Running the game at all low; windowed mode.
- Unlocking the FPS using another modding tool
- Disabling Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator
- Pirating the game ( got an epic bitcoin miner I had to remove )
- Latest AMD driver

Nothing seems to help. I verify files after modding them.

I just want to play the game


EDIT: The solution is to limit the # of cores the game runs on read below

It does seem to run like garbage. I have random 1-2 sec freezing on a 7700k 32gb RAM and a 1080TI. I haven't tried much to fix it yet, but I agree. It needs a patch asap

Runs fine for me maxed out with a i5 4690k + GTX980 and 16gbs of ddr3 1866mhz ram.
Dont know where all the 'i cant play it' posts are coming from apart from all the 1050 users who think thay have uber systems lol.

i havea 1050 and the game runs flawlessly, not sure where the issues other people are coming from

[BrotherO4]

its coming from people like us. its not a matter of the gpu not being able to run it. its pretty much solid 60 fps which is barely using the gpu at all yet the gpu useage drops to 4% so we get stutters for no reason.

[Good Honest Gamer]

I can play other games fine, I have a radeon vii and 2950x

Also like @BrotherO4 said, it barely uses the hardware at all.

i noticed too after a certain point i begin to have the "stutter" issue. i moved it to an SSD drive and it seemed to stop it. seems sporadic how it happens

[Hellscream_130]

this helped me alot.

u can lock to 30 35 50 whatever and it is alot more enjoyable.

That's odd. I have GTX 980M with i7 6600 16GB ram and I get freezes every 30 or so minutes. I have to close the game down with task manager to get out of it.

For anyone else experiencing sudden massive FPS drops for no reason. This fix worked for me.

Open Device manager
Expand the "Software Devices" section
Right click on "Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator"
Select "Disable"
Click ok.

Launch Sekiro and you're good to go

[Cryhog]

I 100% fixed this for me by opening Task Manager, going to Details, and setting CPU Affinity for Sekiro to only use CPU Cores 1-8. That 100% solved all performance issues for me and I was having SIGNIFICANT slowdown issues that you guys are describing. No one else's solutions did anything (Including the Root Enumerator thing above) so give this a try.

[atomaweapon]

im already using only 8 cores

So try to reduce it to 6 or something like that. 8 worked for me but I have more than that. Just reduce it somewhat and see if that helps.

Thank you very much, this was the issue!

It seems the game has trouble scaling with more than 6 cores for me.

I think it might be related to hyperthreading

i will play it. I love FROM Games. But these stutter are really bad.
