Game freezing with Intel i3 / Dual core CPUs

Same version, and it still froze, not updates yet

Since they didnā€™t bother fixing technical issues that exist since beta, I donā€™t expect it to be fixed soonā€¦ Might as well come back after month and still freeze 5 min into the game lol.

They will or its a dead game

So, after a lot of testing and looking around on google for possible fixes, Iā€™ve found the only thing that actually helped mitigating the problem, it did solve the freezing problem, but at the same time created another one.

These command lines arguments:
--tank_WorkerThreadCount 2 -thread 2

Now, onto the matter at hand. In using this command line, youā€™re limiting your cpu to use 2 threads out of 4, while this solves the freezing of the game, by limiting your cpu, the gameā€™s performance and framerates can and WILL be affected.

When the chaos insues is when that performance cost will hit HARD, the game will lag, the fps will dip down like thereā€™s no tomorrow, and your gameplay will suffer because of it.

But, despite all of that, it is the only workaround to this problem Iā€™ve found and makes the game actually playable.

this is my PC Specs:

Pentium G4560
16 GigaBytes of Ram
GTX 760 2GB

So, be advised that if your specs are similar to mine youā€™ll likely face some performance/framerates issues. If you have better specs, the framerates might not be a problem, who knows.

I hope this works for you guys the same way it did for me, although Iā€™d wish you wonā€™t be facing the same performances problems I did.

I dont think its spec based, itā€™ll be something small stupid and overlooked
