Game Constantly Freezing

[SardiniaYogi]

The game just freezes all the time, I have to ctrl-alt-del to get out of it.

I am running on a new 2015 Alienware 15,
Intel i7-4710HQ CPU @2.50 GHz,
16Gb ram,
Windows 8.1,
Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M using the NVidia GPU.

I have the graphics settings set to medium in the game.

It runs pretty slowly from the start and lags slightly, and then will just freeze.

Any help?

Thanks

Having the same issue. The game does not lag, it is on high. But it freezes when i have a cities with around 5 blocks. When i start a new city this issue does not happen. Putting it on a lower setting does not help either.

My specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80GHz
AMD Radeon HD 5900 Series
Ram: 6.2 GB
Windows 8.1 64Bit

I have done the Verify intergrity of game cache without any effect.

I seem to have resolved it by reducing the screen resolution, it was at full now at 1920x1080 (fullscreen) and I have not had a freeze for about an hour.

Graphics settings are still at medium, but will try with full to see if it still holds up.

Yes, still fine in High and Ultra High Graphics at the lower resolution

Hey SardiniaYogi,

Thnks for the heads up. Done the same and dont have any crash for over 15 min. So it looks like it is fixed.

If it comes back, try to make sure that it's not due to too high temperatures. Because that's a very common reason for freezes/crashes.
