Game randomly stops responding

#1 Post by MiraiZura » Sat Sep 12, 2020 3:27 am

Hey, seldom(about once in 15 hours) my game stops responding, then after 30 seconds it returns back to normal, then after I make between 2-5 clicks and the game stops responding again. It goes on for something like 4 minutes usually.

I don't really know where to begin from, does anyone have any idea why it might happen?

you just found out what's your problem is something is eating your memory

your memory capacity should be around 10% with just those three programs running your system should be using at least 10 to 20%
