Game locking up when zoning.

Since the latest patch i'm experiencing some game freeze when i zone.
It seems very random, no issues when actually in a zone, its only when zoning between them.

Run a repair on your game files.

Then, if you have a defragger that just does individual files (*Kisses PerfectdDisk*), defrag the PIGGs. It may be your hard drive is burping when it has to search all over hell and back for file fragments.

With the risk of jinxing it...

defragging my C drive seems to have fixed it. I've jsut zoned in and out of missions 10 times now and no freeze.


Thanks for the help

I do the same thing on my laptop all the time. My laptop's a couple years old, but every now and again the hard drive just isn't fast enough to keep up if the files are badly fragmented.

Don't have the same problem on my main system though (SSD in RAID-0).
