Random Loading Screens

[AdiTheDuck]

I get random loading screens every minute and I'm not sure why, the only mod I have is ProMods map.

Might be because the game is autosaving.

[Trucker2223]

post your gamelog, th autosave function should run in background, but not appearing loading screens.

This is the gamelog when I tried to play with mods


I've also tried without mods but it's still happening.

I see errors like this.

Never saw them before - but it looks like your video card is dying or maybe drivers are broken.
Does the screen go black for a moment?
Your video card probably shuts down and restarts, so then the game reloads to generate everything again.

@Vøytek That'll explain a lot. No, it doesn't go black but for the past few months I've been experiencing a lot of stuttering and low fps, I always thought that it's because of my CPU. I'll try to disable my OC and see if that helps. Anyway, thank you for your help!

[Vøytek]

Oh, if you overclocked your video card, that may explain it too
It can make your video card unstable and it may restart under a heavy load. I overclocked my video card as well few weeks ago to see the difference and it restarted in some performance heavy areas in PM.

In case of my video card, my whole screen goes black and then I get a message saying that "Display driver had to be restarted blah blah...".

[AdiTheDuck]

Yeah I used to get that message too but now I don't know why it won't show up. So looks like the problem was the OC, I disabled it and now it works just fine. Thank you very much!
