This makes "MWO optimization sux" / "AMD doesn't like PGI" thread #15,642,753 I think? Or is it 15,642,754th?

I have an AMD FX 6300 CPU OCed to about 4.1 Ghz and an AMD R9 270X 4GB GPU. For as long as I can remember the game has always had random moments of freezing during gameplay, but they were fairly few and far between. As of Crimson and even before that, during some of the later patches to the game this year, the freezing is at an all-time high.

Cored through armor? Game hangs for a few seconds.

Lost an arm? Game hangs for a few seconds.

Vomit a target with a few lasers? Game hangs for a few seconds.

Check the scoreboard for the first time every match? Game hangs for a few seconds.

It's becoming impossible to effectively play without being slaughtered because it will lock at the most inopportune time. I've noticed a pattern of it freezing on things specifically process-related... So my GPU can handle it (even on High or Very High) but the bottlenecking is almost definitely CPU-side. Because this game's optimization... just kidding, it has no optimization!

Please tell me there is a solution for this. I cannot be a competitive factor at all with this issue now. It's that bad.

Try shutting off avast shields if you use it. If not, no idea.
