[1.7.4] Random Freezing no Pattern

#1 Post by kinginyellow »

As the thread implies I just recently got TOME, started playing for the first time (no mods) and the game will freeze at random intervals from 1 to upwards of 6 seconds with no discernable pattern. Looking at task manager the game seems to just stop responding for that period of time and isn't starved of system resources. Graphically once it stops hanging the graphics "catch up" to the time passed. So for example in Trollmire you'll see clouds rapidly going across the screen once the game stops hanging. I have the steam version of the game but I've also downloaded 1.7.4 from the official TOME website and the issue persists.

With how much this slows down the game it is nearly unplayable, and looking online I've found no one with the same issue I have. The closest I've seen to a similar issue was a 1.7.2 poster who had to get the dlls and exes from a 1.7.0 version but doing that didn't help at all.

A couple of additional information that might help troubleshooting:

System is running Windows 10.
System specs:

H310M Motherboard
i7 8700k Processor
Nvidea RTX 2060 Super
16 GB Ram 2666 MHZ currently running single channel
M2 1TB SSD

I have Symantec Endpoint Protection running in unmanaged mode on my home system. I have turned it off while playing and nothing changed. I've gone as far as turning everything I usually run off while playing TOME and the issue persists, so its not additional software interfering as far as I can tell.

Edit: Seemed to be able to reliably cause the freezes in my inventory by rapidly moving my mouse cursor up and down over the items in my inventory. In 1-2 seconds the game will lock up. This happens in regular gameplay too, though. Which I assume is happening because the mouse is hovering over tiles/creatures and their details need to be displayed. Same result can be obtaind by rapidly mousing over talents in the talent selection screen, or talents in my hotbar..
