I'll give that a try next time.
An update, today i streamed the game on twitch for seven hours without a hitch.
I know that sounds like it should start a rap or poem or something but i got no skills in that area.
dont know why it decided to work, i didnt change anything at all.

I ran heaven benchmark for a couple of hours yesterday with zero problems. been playing MGSV and Mad Max today and again have had zero issues with either. I'll try it again and make sure that V-sync is off and see if that makes any difference.

Has there been any developments on this problem? Ive been compensating by watching videos of gameplay on youtube and its just frustrating me even more lol

Just tried to play again a few times and it still happens. Anyone know what the problem is or did i just waste fifteen quid?

when i start the game up it freezes after roughly 30 seconds. i hear the sound in the background but the graphics are frozen. if i move around i can hear the sounds of different machinery nearby. I have to force quit the game as no menus work. I did see a previous post that seemed to be about simila...

I am having this exact same problem. when i start the game up it freezes after a couple of minutes. i hear the sound in the background but the graphics are frozen. if i move around i can even hear the sounds of different machinery nearby.
