Hey there, thank you for reporting this! I’ve moved it to the #Technical Help category, because this doesn’t sound like a bug but rather like a settings or setup issue.

Could you please describe it a bit more in detail? Does it freeze when doing certain interactions, when switching from one mode to another, or anything? Thank you 🙏

It just randomly freezes, but the time still goes. You would be playing and then a lot of a sudden, it freezes. The game does not crash, eventually it will unfreeze, but the time would skip forward.

Thank you for clarifying 😃

Would you please let us know your in-game settings? To do so, please share screenshots of the settings in settings \> graphics with us here. Thank you 🙏

EDIT: Because you’re using the same GPU as my setup, please feel free to read through this guide I wrote about improving performance here: [inZOI – Graphics & Performance Guide (What Actually Matters)](https://forum.playinzoi.com/t/topic/10303) - if you adjust some of your settings like mentioned in the guide, the lags / freezes should stop.
