- Ensure that your drivers are up-to-date. Just jump onto the Driver Update page and download update your computer’s drivers.
- Make sure that no-security related programs are flagging your game/application. To check, run the game and alt-tab to see if your firewall or anti-virus has issued a notification. If there is one, whitelist the application.
- Disable any unnecessary programs running in the background (unless you feel that your rig is capable enough).
- For Windows users, keep your Direct X version up to date. Newer games won’t give you this problem as their installer usually bundles in a compatible build of Direct X.
