    A problem that keeps happening constantly while running the game

    So,
    this has been happening ever since I installed the game. I cant move in the game, I cant do anything, in fact, and the sounds go off but the game isnt actually "frozen". This keeps happening every now and then (less than 10 minutes), the stopping lasts for like 10-20 seconds. Sometimes the game screen goes black followed by a crash, I've tried some fixing methods even though those were not exactly going to fix my current issue... Help

    It would help listing your hardware specs (CPU/GPU/RAM/HDD)

    I am not very literate in the Intel/Nvidia arena but it looks to me you're a bit on the slim side of hardware performance - tried lowering the game detail level?

    Yes I tried that, did not work. My pc runs this game smoothly on Very High and High graphics. I've played this game on this very pc before and back then it ran with no problems, now when I downloaded it again this problem started happening. The game doesnt slow down, the FPS doesnt drop I think, everything keeps going on the screen but every control in the game stops working for me for a short period of time, I cant even use the cursor in the game or open the menu.

    So I believe I finally got FC3 working, there was some avira program that kept doing some random shenanigans that interfered with the game, it was probably the reason why my other games kept tabbing out constantly... :0
