Don't know how I didn't notice, but I guess there's a more indepth resource monitor (I was just looking at Task Manager), and while everything else is relatively normal, it's specifically CPU 2 that is spiking when the game locks up.

Since it's only happening on their device and not mine, it must be something weird with the Windows install or profile, I guess, but this is the only application they have an issue with.

How do you give an application Administrator rights?
Run as Admin is not recommended - it changes the way the application runs on the computer and how it can interact with other apps.

The game locks up because of the CPU then, not the other way around.
Normally this happens for a few seconds when you start the campaign, load modules or the asset windows for the first time. In normal play this should not be happening. This seems cumbersome, but have you tried a really empty campaign with no extensions and new characters? Could be some things on one of the imported characters ...

Changed it in application properties, but doesn't make a difference if it's on or off.

I'm just saying that the two events happen at the same time.

And yes, even with a new character it happens. Like I said, no issues with the campaign files or anything on another device, this specific laptop? Game constantly freezes up. It's not specifically a certain campaign, if it's hosting, if it's online or offline, full of modules, with extensions or not, etc. If the game is on this laptop and running and you try to roll or edit or do anything, once every 5 or 10 minutes, the game will lock up on you and I don't know what to do to fix it.

Is is locking up on anyone else's machine that is playing in the game; or on just this one laptop?

Thanks,

It's just this laptop. They host a game, only the laptop has constant issues. I host a game on a different computer, only the laptop again. Not that the others don't sometimes have loading issues, but with other devices it's like once every couple hours.

What are the specifications of the laptop? (CPU, GPU, OS, HDD, make/model, ...)
How old is it?

It seems like it might be related to the hardware or OS configuration if it’s only this one machine having the issue.

The lag can also be something to do with file sizes and bandwidth, but I doubt it. Some computers have different drivers or video card settings, or perhaps a Disc Tools running, anti-virus. Etc. Hmm
Did you mess with V-Sync setting yet?

I have. Also made sure nothing else that didn't need to be active was running in the background at the same time.
