What do you mean exactly? I'm running 8 cores and it's always been fine for me.

I am running as well 8 cores for this game and it still freezes my game and after a while it is crashing. How can such a game exists where it doesn't matter how big your computer is?

It must be something specific to your hardware setup. Try posting more details of your PC's specs and hopefully the dev should be able to help you out.

People have mined cryptocurrency while playing this game, so there is definitely no problem with CPU or GPU.

Hi Ressless,

If you let me know a bit about your computer, we can try to figure out why the game is running slowly. It's definitely not a typical experience, but it's hard to know more without details.

Can you write a bit more about what's happening? Is the game running slowly all the time, or just in battles?

Hello and thanks so far for the response:

My Notebook Specs:
Intel Core I7-7700HQ CPU 2,8GHZ 2,8GHZ (8 cores)
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1060
SSD Harddrive
16GB DDR (4 i guess) RAM
Windows 10 with 64-Bit System


What happens:

If I am playing and the lets say after 4-5 minutes when the bugs starting to mutate and and half of them on the screen are moving, the game freezes, almost my whole Computer.
If I wait and I am lucky then the game comes back and I can play for maybe 20-30 seconds and again freezing for some minutes. If it doesn't come back I get a game crash and my GPU Control crashes as well.



Best Regards
Ressless

I have the exact same CPU(Just a GTX 1070 GPU, everything else is exactly the same in my notebook) and I'm about halfway through the campaign and the game is running perfectly fine. Didn't have any freezing or crashing. Doubt it's a problem with the CPU compatibility.

Edit:
Just did a 20 minutes mission with 9 hives destroyed, 43k aliens killed and the alien flow slider at maximum and there's been no issues, even during mutations.

Hmmm. That doesn't sound like a CPU issue. If I had to guess, running out of memory could produce those symptoms.

I would try 2 things:

1) Verify the integrity of game files (Right Click Game in Steam - Local Files) - just to rule out bad files

2) Go to graphics options and turn down "World Maximum Detail" to LOW. This will use up way less texture memory. If that makes crashes go away, you can try to bump it up a bit afterward.

Let me know if either of those helps. If not, I'll try to think of what else it could be.
