I'm now in year three of my OOTP league in a third file. In the first season? No issues! Simmed quickly and lovely. No problems. No issues. However, the second season begins and all of a sudden the simulation gets borked in late August. From this point through the end of the regular season, the simulation takes 20-25 minutes to get through, "freezing" for a few mins between what feels like every game. It will then re-start, sim a game or two and then right back to frozen. Screen goes that glossy "frozen" white, mouse gives me the "loading" message. Can't click or do anything. Then...right back to normal for 30 second moment...then frozen for 3-5 mins again. The April-late August takes ~5 minutes in relationship. This is currently happening now in season 3 again. Same time in the year it's occurring. This has not happened in previous versions of OOTP (I have 20 and 18).

I have even gone as far as factory re-setting my computer. I've updated all drivers. I've made sure it's not saving a single box score. Not simming 3d games; just a standard "sim until next week" prompt. No baseball cards, either. The laptop I'm on is well above any recommended settings. Not sure what to do any more, because I want to play the game, but this is making it nearly unplayable and it drags my computer's speeds down with it. Siming different amounts of time does not solve the issue, either.

1. I have a PC
2. I'm running Windows 10
3. Playing on steam
4. Not on a Mac
5. I have 12 GB of RAM, a NVIDIA 940 MX, with 2GB dedicated to video
6. It's not necessarily "crashing". It's just bogging way down. I can't get it to fully crash. Only freeze, not-respond and then pop back up for a minute to sim another game. I'm trying very hard to get it to crash but it won't go.
7. It has happened over every single file I've played. Pre-factory reset and after.
8. I can't get a good tracemode crash as the issue isn't crash related...it's sim speed related. I wish I could be of more help there.

If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them. I want to love this game as I love OOTP and have bought the game, basically, yearly for a decade.
