I've tried disable the audio so that doesn't seem to be the issue. A new profile is a good idea, my old one is quite old. diag_captureSlowFrame is not working, as far as the game is concerned the freezing isn't happening which makes a hardware issue much more likely that the game itself being at fault. Trouble is finding what it is, no other games exhibit this problem, I'm pretty much certain memory, PSU and hard drive are not at fault but I guess I'll check everything again. Update Making a new profile seems to have stopped the freezing entirely, played for about an hour without a single freeze, going to test some more but this may very well be the fix. Another Update It seemed to work at first but now it's back to freezing again.

Yep I've run memtest and it passed. Might switch the mobo at the weekend if the profiling doesn't reveal anything. Definitely worth a try, I have had games in the past that have had issues with audio settings. It seems to be linked to object rendering or loading, standing still in an empty scenario I've not been able to get it to happen, while driving in to a large minefield for example it occurs quite often. I'll try the profiling build today and see if I can get more information.

Thanks I'll give that a shot. Yeah I've tried it on SSD, it improves load times a decent bit but has no effect on the freezing. I actually got the Seasonic PSU after my other one failed (a Corsair 600W), the freezing happened before and after so I doubt it's power related, I do have a spare Gigabyte Z97 motherboard which I might try if nothing else works. I've tried it with no startup parameters nothing seems to have any effect on it. I'm using Windows 10 pro 1709 build 16299.309 freshly installed about a month ago.

So I've been having this problem for about 8 months now, with no resolution, the game freezes randomly about every 5-30 minutes at which point everything stops with no sound, after around 10 seconds it resumes as normal, background programs appear to freeze as well. This occurs in single player and multiplayer without any mods, I've verified the install multiple times and have even done a complete reinstall, since this problem started I've also fully reinstalled Windows 10 three times and tried a whole range of nvidia drivers, I have no anti-virus installed (with exception of Windows defender), I'm not getting problems with any other game, the event log is clear. More advanced scenarios seem to produce the freeze more often, for example in an extremely basic scenario it might happen every 20 minutes whilst in a complex scenario this might reduce to 5 minutes. Here is a rpt file, I marked the location where it freezes on line 722, https://ghostbin.com/paste/koyyh CPU and GPU temperatures have been checked, manually increasing the fan speed makes no change. I've tried a wide variety of launch parameters to no effect. Drive has been defragmented and checked for errors, multiple different sizes of page file have been tried and memtest shows no errors. I really need this fixed as it's making the game unplayable for me, I don't appear to be the only one suffering from this either.
