GTA freezes in a shootout or when driving

Post by Fireworks » Fri Nov 17, 2017 10:40 pm

Whenever I get into a shootout my GTA just freezes upon getting into a shootout, this also happens when I am driving sometimes too.

It's called "frame-lag," happens when your PC can't handle the frames you're trying to load.
Fixes: Better graphics card, possibly more ram.

Must be recording software, most of the time that causes lower frames.

Could be your processor being bottle-necked. Are you sure you're not overpowering your CPU?

I'm going to install a clean version of GTA tomorrow and install my mods one by one.

I'll keep this updated.

Did you try to update your video card? if yes, try to change the resolution of your game, let me know if it's fixed your issue :)

Has this been answered?
I'd prefer it if we could keep it up for another 24 hours, I have reinstalled my GTA but haven't had long enough to test the lag out yet.

Take your time, btw how long has this been happening and do you record with OBS or shadow play?

I use Shadowplay, although I'm not constantly recording. It's been happening for a few months now.

I've noticed this with certain sound mods. Try another set of weapon sounds (in particular) and see if it fixes.

I think I've fixed it. Can be archived for now.
