I've noticed that it works completely fine in CAS and when paused but when it isn't paused and I actually start playing, it freezes. I think it freezes quicker when I have the fastest speed on. It doesn't take long after I've loaded in the game for it to freeze but it slightly varies.
@AndreJsy Have you taken steps to limit your in-game framerates? If not, let me know, and I can help with the process.
If that's not the issue, what world(s) are you playing in, and does the game run better in a new save in Sunset Valley? Have you installed mods, and which ones? If you haven't, would you be willing to add a few that might help?
I had no clue I could limit in-game framerates.
I'm playing in Sunset Valley and the issue seems to happen in every save. I've got NRaas' Master Controller, Story Progression, Overwatch, and Error Trap installed along with default skin and eye replacements.
