Time stops progressing every 10 seconds, only to start again

[Xeonic]

I'm having some issues where the game runs perfectly smooth, but then every 10-15 seconds, the time will stop progressing, models are still animated and everything seems normal, but nothing is progressing. Then it starts back up after a few seconds. This keeps happening, the game is perfectly playable but if you, for example, pause during these freezes, it doesnt show as paused until "time catches back up again" so to speak.

This happens regardless of speed setting and is consistent.

If you disable autosaves , does that stop this happening? I've seen one report of that.

I'll try this evening, but so far I've only played Ironman so haven't been able to disable autosaves. I read about that similar issue though and that seems to happen only every 3 months in-game and causes a full freeze, this happens much more frequent and doesnt stop any animations.

After playing for a while and comparing between ironman and non-ironman, I can determine that it is indeed the autosaves. It seems that after a while, the autosave popup no longer shows up while saving and simply gives me this weird behaviour instead. It really is a shame that such a quick speed for speed 5 is inhibited by something as annoying as autosaves that can't be removed due to ironman.
