Possible fix for stuttering/freeze, CPU 100% issues

Hi guys,

Possible fix which i uncovered myself as I was suffering from terrible freeze and cpu usage 100% issue. cleanmem and ccleaner+clear origin cache+clean boot do not work for me.

seeing that disabling intel rapid storage technology in msconfig/services is a possible fix, I went to hunt for it but did not find it, I find a range of other services running under intel corp and it turns out disabling most of them did the trick, my cpu usage back to normal....40+ to 60+% usage and stuttering/freeze is gone.

the services I disabled under msconfig-services are : Intel(R) Capability Licensing Service Interface, Intel(R) Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface, Intel(R) Management and Security Application Local Management Service, Intel Small Business Advantage and Intel Smart Connect Technology Agent. I left Intel(R) Integrated Clock Controller Service-Intel(R) ICCS running coz I am afraid it'll mess up my clock in windows somehow.

I hope temp fix before a hotfix/patch helps u guys

    That's interesting, thank you for the post. Can you include your processor specs too?

    This made it better. A lot better. More than 100% better.

    Still not playable, unfortunately, but at least the main menu works now. 🙂 The game is still much slower than before patch, and the freezing for 5-10 seconds at a time still frequent.
