    I have 90 hours of PA logged with the game working perfectly. Recently however, the game has begun to freeze every few seconds. During the brief freeze I experience loss of control and no unit movement updates but I can still move my cursor. Due to the steady occurrence of the problem the game has become unplayable. The only recent changes made to my PC was downloading a few unrelated programs and the game TF2 on steam (I have PA thru steam). Attached is my Dxdiag, please help.

    Hi, first thing I can tell you is your driver is really out of date: Driver Date/Size: 9/19/2013

    Please go to the following and download the current WHQL drivers from AMD:
    http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows 8.1 - 64

    Then test the game again. Note if you install the 'AMD Raptr' software you need to make sure you go into settings and click the 'disable overlay' option to avoid it upsetting PA.

    Try the updated driver and let me know how you get on :)

    AMD reported that my driver was up to date.

    Yes I tried to install it but it lead me to the Amd manager which doesn't have the beta drivers. Any chance I could get a link to the drivers?

    I have the same kind of problem. I can play the game fine with up to 90FPS, but when I start moving the camera around, it starts to stutter very badly. It keeps dropping to 0FPS for a splitsecond every second or so, and it's getting very annoying as I sometimes lose track of where I am as a result of the camera jumping way over the intended spot.

    I've tried a reinstall of the game, a thorough uninstallation of the drivers and then tried both the Beta driver and the regular driver.

    You should be able to download the latest, as well as the beta drivers, from AMD's site here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

    Do you have amd raptr installed by any chance? If yes, go into preferences, in game and make sure the overlay is turned off...
