Interesting Salty seadog, changing settings worked for you? I tried dropping every single setting including resolution to the minimum and it had no effect on the performance.

I tried 0.58 again without problems, something in 0.59 is really not playing nice with our systems.

JackONhs, glad rebooting worked for you, unfortunately my problem still continues. I tried the new UI, tried lowering graphics settings, still no change.

I am wondering if it has something to do with item respawns, as I noticed after one freeze that a car in front of me that had been empty now had a box of cereal in the back.

I am not using any startup parameters, and the problem still persists even after the server updates today. dxdiag is attached.

Having the same issue, on Windows 7, unable to even try to test EXP.
