Question

Game Pauses/Freezes every...

from Stardock Forums

...5...10...15 seconds.  Is it my specs that's causing the game to pause for 5...10...15 seconds before it comes back to life or is it the game itself?

 

Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 2.8 GHz

2 GB DDR2 PC-6400 RAM

GeForce 8600 GTS

WinXP Pro 32-bit.

 

I'd think that if anything my computer would slowly come to a halt rather than freeze/pause for 10 seconds and then continue on.  Thoughts/opinions?  Thanks!

I get a brief pause, not nearly that often.  only several times a game.  Everything pauses for a sec, then continues on.  4 gigs ram, 8800 gts 640, amd64x2, vista 32b.  Hasn't interrupted my ability to play the game, it literally only lasts a second, didn't even think of it till I saw this post, but might as well add my 2 cents for information's sake.

Doubt it's your specs, it's got to be something other than that, because that's way more specs than you need. You sir own a very good computer and don't sell it short. That said, something has to be causing the problem, it's just that I'm not sure. Check the bug roundup here and see if there's another thread with any info.

I just did another game, this time looking out for it, and it didn't happen at all this time.  *shrug*.  no difference in what's running on my machine or anything.  I run x-fire so maybe it had been doing somethin' that earlier game.
