<div class="IPBDescription">Periodic freezing</div> Well I figured that since reinstalling direct x, video and sound drivers didn't work, I'd try here and see if anyone has heard of or knows how to fix this problem.
Ever since the latest steam patch, while playing NS, the game will freeze for like a second and lockup then return to normal. It seems to be caused by sounds since it always happens while firing or when someone is using the mic.
