I haven't got a clue what I'm doing with computers I just like playing games. I've seen this problem come up multiple times where the game will be running smoothly and suddenly freeze when a capital ship comes on screen other than the dominator that I am using. I got the new big ship and immediately went after the biggest pirate fleet I thought I could handle (this being the first encounter with capital ships) and it froze for about 5 seconds before the game continuing but the visuals remaining frozen. I could pause the game and even interact with the pause menu if I found roughly where it was behind the frozen visuals.
I've tried everything suggested on these forums, turning off anti virus, giving it more priority in task manager, running in different resolutions and not in full-screen, running as an admin, I updated my laptops driver too.
Its not a gaming laptop but it plays much more intensive games than this and has no issue. Bearing in mind this issue doesn't effect the frame rate which stays at a consistent 60 even in the big battles.
Has anyone had this issue and found a fix as I've fallen in love with this game.
