Game Freezing and Random Times
Hi, Just recently started playing BF2042. Fresh install of Windows. No programs running in the background. My game randomly freezes, this has happened in the menus and during games. PC completely ...
You should not install games on the system C partition: , and should not fill up more than 50% of the SSD. The more full the drive is, the slower the transfers 🙂 . Some drives slow down a lot (become even slower than HDD), and some hardly feel it - it all depends on how the manufacturer designed the SSD.
HDDs are not affected by the % of space used, but the zone in which the data is located has an impact on the transfer; the screen below shows which zone has the highest transfer rate and which has the slowest read and write transfer rate.

I have BF2042 on HDD in the efficient transfer zone and upload before the battle starts 🙂 On the C: drive I have only the system and programs.
For me an SSD is an unnecessary expense and quite risky. With HDD you can easily recover data after a crash, with SSD the chance of recovery is 10% (I mean physical damage), only installing the system on SSD has its justification and specialized software such as Autodesk Inventor, where every second matters.
But with this power consumption mode in GPU justr try. I discovered it on a Geeforce GTX 1060 when it was shearing all my games :P

Well I had another crash this morning so that wasn't the issue.
I'm still stuck.
I've fixed the refresh rate to 120hz and reduced the graphics settings to medium.
Had 1 game at it was stable with no crashes.
I'm assuming it will probably freeze again. So annoying.
