Adventure Time: Pirates of The Enchiridion Lags and Freezes

Released on 17th July 2018, Pirates of The Enchiridion is an open world role-playing game that attempts to emulate the humor of the Cartoon Network series. The combats in this RPG are simply turn based. Comparing the game to the series, it never quite manages to pull off the same humor as the show. The open world is essentially a route to new combat encounters and some puzzles to solve.

Issues Faced During Gameplay

Despite the game not requiring high graphics or being too demanding of your computer’s storage space and processing capabilities, this RPG has been faced with several people reporting bugs of various sorts. In only a matter of days of its release, there have been thousands of tweets about how the game has a huge frequency of high load times. There are other bugs too but the high load time is deemed as one which is unacceptable. There is a specific battle, that is played with Fern, which often requires one to restart the game several times only to see the game refuse to load beyond this point. Twitter has witnessed quite a stir and fury as one expects the developers to forge a game engine that is optimized for all users and has the power to make transitions over screens seamless, rather than freezing.

Those gamers that are expecting Climax Studios to provide for anything more than 30 FPS (Frames Per Second), we will put it straight to you, Climax Studios usually aim for 30 FPS. Anything beyond that is a bonus. This becomes a major reason for the game lagging for some users. In the last topic, we will discuss some ways to get around this drop in frames.

There has also been a rallying call to fix the freezes, other than the loading times, which occur especially after defeating all enemies in a battle. The specific battle where this occurs most of the times is the mushroom island battle. In this specific battle, what happens is that a part of the screen goes missing. The completion of the battle goes in vain as this screen freezing does not stop. This also leads to the user not being able to get their game saved, due to the frozen screen.

Concluding the issues faced during gameplay, it is important to know that Climax Studios have been bombarded with tweets complaining about these issues and they are definitely aware of the trouble gamers are going through.

 

Solution to Lags and Freezes

There is always a way to improve the performance of your system to enhance its ability to run games smoother. Some of the methods you should definitely try out are discussed in the following passages.

If you are one of the victims of finding Pirates of The Enchiridion stalling on you and eventually freezing, then make sure you give the following solutions a try:

  1. Give the game some time to unhinge itself and auto repair. However, what is imperative at this point is that there should be no key presses at all, on your controller/ keyboard. Key presses cause an I/O interrupt which only makes it more difficult for the Processor to perform your tasks. This is because the queue of tasks the processor needs to perform gets bigger with key presses and a crash then becomes inevitable.
  2. One other reason why your system is not able to adhere to the game requirements could be your memory (RAM). Make sure you have unwanted applications closed. So go into the Task Manager and close the other applications.
    • Press the Ctrl + Shift + Escape keys together.
    • Go to the Processes bar, where you should see all the applications currently running.
    • Close the unwanted apps by selecting them and clicking on End task.
  3. Also, make sure you have the latest version of graphics drivers installed on your PC. Be it Radeon or Nvidia, these powerhouses are always working on ensuring you get the best out of your graphics card. This can always improve your frames per second experience.
  4. Lastly, you can contact Climax Studios who will definitely aid you with the lag and freeze problems relating to Adventure Time: Pirates of The Enchiridion.
