Hi,
My PCM have started freezing, and it's quite annoying. I have tried to re-install the game, but it didn't fix it. There is no signs, it just seem to happen randomly during 3D races. I can't exit the game, so i have to re-boot my pc every time. The game is downloaded of Steam, and i am using the ''PCM.daily's 2014 DB V1''
Hope that someone can help, thanks! |

Did you try lowering your graphics to a minimum to see if that fixes it? If it works, you can gradually increase the settings again afterwards. |

It seems to be working, but if that was the problem, then why would'nt it lag before with the higher settings? |

Well, what database did you use before the 2014 DB? |

I agree, feezing is a serious issue.
The reason is due to the mass of new graphics and individual additions that the Daily DB adds. Even the stages, they are more complete, and therefore are harder to load and are more stressful to a PC.

I am afraid to say that the freezing has returned. I run the game on its lowest settings, but the game has now started freezing again. Do you have any idea what it could be then? And if there is a solution, or will i just have to go back and play the game with the cyanide db? |

Check to ensure that you have no viruses. This can cause exponential decrease in performance. Also, check to ensure that your hard drive still has space.

But if you switch to Cyanide's DB, does this happen too? Have you tried making a full re-installation of the game?

Thanks for the advice, but i have tried rein staling the game multiple times, and i have also tried running the game with the Cyanide db, but it just does not seem to fix the problem.

Damn, unlucky. One last thing, buy a whole new computer and reinstall there.

If you are low at disk space, clean up your hard disk. Maybe you should defragment your hard disk?
And if it is not caused by hardware, another option would be to use the restore points to uninstall recently installed stuff.

Thanks for all the ideas guys! I have defragmentet and cleaned up the hard drive, but the game is still freezing.. I guess that there is nothing to do. |
