Try this. On your desk top find the logo for the game.
Right Click on it to open it.
Now click on properties.
Click on the compatibility tab at top.
You will see a box that's titled Compatibility MODE
check the box if it isn't already that says - Run this program in compatibility mode:
Below that is a drop down box that has the names of all the programs that run computers, Windows7, 10 and so on.
Make sure you have the correct one that runs your computer.
Click apply at the bottom, then see if it runs better.

Hope that helps.

I tried this but had game freeze right after the change.  It is easy to try and change back so it might work for others

Cleaning up the backgrounds is a slow tedious process. Hit <control><alt><delete> to open the task manager, and click the "processes" tab at the top. Once that window is open in the bottom left it will tell you how many processes you have running. Less is better.

Shutting down services shuts down the processes (click the tab at the top for services). Using a site like http://www.blackviper.com/ to compare what you have running and seeing if you need it running or can stop it.

I am going to look into this, thanks fugitive!

theres only 45 guys on right now and I am not sure if more client on the servers can have a negative impact on the system or not but, that compatibility mode seems to be working!

I just wanted to report that my game has been running perfect since the latest patch was installed.  I hope I continue to have good luck going forward!
