How to Fix Freezing
I’ve been trying every suggestion on the internet with no luck until today. It seems limiting CPU usage solves the problem until a patch arrives,
To do this follow these steps:
- Download ‘Battle Encoder Shirase’,
- Run this as ADMIN (essential) from anywhere on your PC, it doesn’t need installing.
- Run Starfield until the main menu appears, then minimise it.
- Using Battle Encoder select ‘Target’.
- Select the Starfield.exe process from the list, select ‘Limit This’ and move the slider at the bottom to -8%
- Done.
Note: If your starfield crashes, thats a different issue. This fixes freezing for about 5 seconds every minute or so especially during combat.
I have the “5-10 seconds freeze every 2-3 minutes or so”, with a peak (100%) in CPU usage right at the time of the freeze. Then it goes smoothly like before.
And your workaround definitely did it for me.
Thanks a lot !
I am currently using a very conservative -10% limiting, and will try lowering it as it goes.
