Freezing at "Stocking the Sticker Shop"

 I see this topic is in the technical forum but it seems like a bug. Any time I try to access the sticker shop it just hangs at "stocking the sticker shop". The game keeps running, and you can move the mouse, but it's completely unresponsive. It's like the game would crash, but it just can't. Earlier in the day I could actually ESC out of that screen but not anymore, even after a clean install of my OS and Origin.

Anyway here is some info for troubleshooting:

I tried this on 3 PCs in our house, it only works on one, and the only difference with that PC is that it is running a Raedon 280x and the other systems have a Geforce 750ti and a Geforce 950. All three systems are using SSDs with AMD A8 6600ks as the processors and 8 gigs of ram.

On the PC that it works, I did take that keyboard and mouse and try it on the other PCs, but to no avail. 

Things I've tried that did not work:

Repairing the game

Uninstalling and reinstalling

Formatting the entire hard drive and only installing Windows 10, Origin and Nvidia drivers

Playing in windowed/fullscreen

Playing with all settings on low

Playing with all settings on high

Rebinding the keys

Changing the resolution

Vsync on and off

Changing sound type

Plugging in an XBox 360 wired controller to my PC and trying the interaction that way

Running the game as an admin

Running the game in Windows 7 and Windows 8 compatibility

There is no other freezing or lag or hiccups in the game. I can play multiplayer and I can interact with anything else except the sticker shop.

    Ok so what we have found so far is when people have this issue it is due to not having a quad core cpu.  We are investigating the issue further, but in the meantime please ensure you have a PC with min spec or above

    Can you tell what file you used it on or what you did step by step if you can?

    There is a step by step description in my (MotherOfGeeks) entry at page 5 of this topic. Make sure the file you create is named user.cfg, and not user.cfg.txt (see tycopug's entry just below mine on page 5). You may have to turn on "show file extentions" in the file explorer to see and fix this.

    As you can see, the fix works for some, and not so well for others. I'm assuming it's to do with different processors. Good luck!

  • You sir, are a genius! I can't believe it works! I do have crashes and 3.000.000 coins saved up, so opening all the packs will take a while 😃

  • Having the same issue on Xbox One X. Just started playing the game, bought a bunch of dlc packs and the shop is stuck on "Stocking the Sticker Shop" with 62 gifts I can't open. This needs to be fixed.
