Oh ye almost forgot, system specs:
@Proscessor: Intel(R) Core (TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20Gz

System type: 64-bit

Any help would be swell! :]

Your system specs are incomplete. You still need to tell us what graphics card you have.

The best way to post complete hardware specs is by posting a dxdiag report. Here are the instructions:

1. Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
2. You will see a Run box in the lower-left corner of your screen
3. Type dxdiag in the text field
4. Click OK
5. Click the button Run 64-bit DXDIAG if the option is available.
6. If your computer has a 32-bit version of Windows or if you have Windows 10, that button will not be available
7. Click the button Save All Information to save the dxdiag to a text file.
8. Open the text file and copy all content.
9. Paste the text from the dxdiag file into http://www.hastebin.com
10. Save the hastebin file and share your link here.

Thanks

Some of the in-game cutscene+gameplay freezing seems to have stopped a little bit now but now i am getting the stupid DirectX crash+error message ☹️

According to your dxdiag, your CPU is a dual core processor, whereas the game requires a quad-core processor. My google search tells me the i5-4570 should be a quad-core, however. Maybe someone more tech savvy like @Gorath_the_Elder knows more about this.

Graphics drivers are a little out of date. You should do a clean installation of the latest driver version.

1. Download the latest graphics drivers for Windows 7 64-bit here, but don't install yet.

2. Go to the Windows control panel and click 'uninstall a program'.

3. Uninstall all AMD programs. 

4. Restart your PC.

5. Install the new drivers you just downloaded.

6. restart your PC again.

Hopefully this also gets rid of the DirectX error. If your graphics card supports it, you can switch to the Mantle API in the game's display settings. This may give you a performance boost.

Thanks that fixed the crashing but i still having stupid freeing problems :[

If your CPU really is a dual core processor, as the Dxdiag claims, then that explains the freezing. There's no fix that I know of other than upgrading to better hardware.

Nah have a Quadcore as i thought

Nah have a Quadcore as i thought..i think

Ok, I guess the dxdiag is wrong then.

Could you monitor your CPU usage while playing the game? If it reaches 100%, that could explain the hiccups. Monitoring temperatures may also be helpful.

My bad.. i think  i do have a dual core after all, went on my resource monitor and says i only have CPU 0 and CPU1 so ya.. dual core... well i'll see if i can upgrade to a AMD Piledriver FX-4300 AM3+ 3.8GHZ Quadcore on the weekend...

I currently have an Intel i5 core, so could i change from Intel to AMD?
