PayDay FreeCell slows down until unplayable

Playing PayDay Freecell on MS Edge Version 86.0.622.43 (Official build) (64-bits) on a Lenovo Thinkpad E590 with i7 8565U @1.8GHz with 8GB RAM .

After a while the game starts to slow down noticably, and this continues until after approx 30'-45' at 4' per game the game becomes unplayable.

Closing Edge and re-opening restores the speed to normal, but the problem returns after a while.

Rebooting the computer does not remove or resolve the problem.

Maybe a memory leak of some kind?

Hey there, @paulfrenayVJ. Thanks so much for the detailed computer info.

Let's give a few things a try here to see if it improves game performance for you.

To start, please try our HTML5 troubleshooting. These steps are built out specifically for freezing issues like the one you describe, and have helped many people.

As you're using the Edge browser, please also check out the Update on HD Games Running Slow in Chrome and Edge to see if the issue applies to you, and the fixes associated with that issue.

If you try the troubleshooting and still are still having trouble with Payday Freecell, can you share your edge://gpu information, particularly the top section?

I am still having issues with Payday FreeCell and Canasta. The cards move painfully slow and then completely stop. I am running Windows 8.1 and using Chrome browser. 8 gigs of RAM. 64 bit system. I have tried multiple suggestions and nothing is helping my situation.
