Hey, new to this community, this issue is sucking up loads of time. Does anyone have a work around?
aaaaand can confirm that source unpack doesnt help either. I too need a solution for this because the freezing is verrrry annoying.
i've tried everything here too: http://steamcommunity.com/app/220/discussions/0/846958223077274345/
EDIT: I made an error when installing Source Unpack. I redid it correctly and it solved the problem!
"better computer" meaning mostly a better harddrive or even better an SSD. If the source unpack is having save-related stutters on an SSD then you actually need a better computer, because that shouldn't happen on any hardware meant to game on, unless caused by a slow drive.
Good news! I actually made an error when installing Source Unpack. I redid it correctly this time and the problem is GONE! Thanks all!
Starting today, runs that require video proof (top 25) and runs beyond that where video is the only form of proof, now require audio, as recording audio for only the game is now a native OBS feature.
