Freezing during Intro

Update your drivers or rollback

update or repair the game through origin

The only thing I can suggest is set all settings to lowest possible (including resolution) and then see if you can get past the intro cutscene, then restore your visual settings.

Also.. don't use quickstart, create custom character (and then just select default ryder if thats what you want).. for some reason Quickstart causes my intro to run at 5fps and stutter the whole time until my character is given dialogue options.

Sadly it didnt work.

I now have fully redownloaded to my SSD.. now it also freezes when the text right before the Game Title comes in.

Hey, did you find any solution to this? I've been posting this theory of mine in places:

I've had this problem as well and the only consistent solution I've found - played until first landing on Aya, no freezes so far - is turning on V-Sync. Others have suggested using Windowed Mode. Since freezes seem to happen only in pre-rendered cutscenes, the two solutions and the problem might be related somehow with FPS.

If having FPS issues due to V-Sync, which many do, another solution would be to cap FPS via console:
gametime.maxvariablefps 61
Or whatever FPS you wish (V-Sync caps mine at 144).

I haven't got around to testing this last solution yet, will update later.


Update: using the console command doesn't seem to do anything, fps still spikes during cutscenes. But, adaptive v-sync is another way to do it, and should work better than in-game v-sync. AMD cards should have something similar as well.
