    So once in maybe 10-20 mins my kag screen freezes, but i can hear the sounds, can even slash, build, destroy and so on, just screen freeze.
    Sometimes it can fix itself, but mostly it won't.
    so did anyone else have this issue and/or knows how to fix it?
    I think i can also mention that i noticed it happening from 2020 build

    This is a tough subject to answer since it can be a couple of different things. Have you tried running the game in vsync from the games settings and your graphics card settings? Screen tearing can occur when your fps goes over your monitors refresh rate. Untick unlimited fps if you have it on in the game settings to see if it helps. Another thing that it could be is if you lack enough ram or vram for the game. Lack of ram or vram can cause bottlenecks which can make your screen freeze as well.

    It can't be computer problems i guess, because other games go just fine, just KAG. Played with Vsync on/off, but screen keeps freezing. I don't have unlimited FPS and i have tons of free RAM. ::(: Maybe there may can be other reasons?

    Have you tried running the forceupdate.bat file in your main kag folder. Maybe you have a file missing that can be causing this problem. If the problem persist, try to uninstall and install again to see if it fixes it.

    Reinstalling changed nothing ::(:
    I also thought maybe it's somehow caused by fullscreen, but no, in window it freezes too.

    i have 1 more thing you can probably try. On your main folder, right click kag.exe. Click on properties and choose the compatibility tab. Click on the box that says "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" click apply then ok to see if it fixes the issue. Check first to see if the method i posted works. if it persist again, right click the kag.exe again and go to properties and then go to the compatibility tab again. click on compatibility mode and run the game under a previous os like windows 7 or 8 or windows xp service pack 3 to see if it works then.

    Another thing that could cause screen problems is when a person is running a crossfire or sli setup with their graphics cards. Some games don't work well with these type of gpu setups. If you have this type of set up, try to see how the game runs with 1 graphics card by disabling crossfire or sli in your graphics card settings.
    If none of this works, you might have to talk to Furai or Geti about it since i can't think of no other solution.

    I get this too. its probably just kag and how unoptimized it is.
    the support for windows isn't the best and could be better.

    if you think the windows support is bad, just wait until you see the mac and linux support
