[1.5] Game periodically freezes for few seconds

[some1]

My game just started to freezes every minute or so for few a second or two. It happened after I build a second mega factory, not sure if it's related. I can attach my save, I am not really sure what could be an issue.

Vanilla, not modified.

Check your graphics settings. Depending on your graphic card, either disable VSync, or enable it with VSync mode = Adaptive (for NVidia, both in game and in NVidia Control Panel), or equivalent if you use an AMD card.

Don't think its graphics, more like thread contention during the game engine synronization every minute. The game freezes regardless of my location and current FPS (>90).

I tried both no vsync or adaptive and still have the issue

Check if the timestamps on your autosaves coincide with freezes. The game autosaves using some system that I haven't figured out yet (it's not exactly time-based, but seems to be triggered by significant events such as gaining/losing reputation, building stations, hiring employees, etc) and when an autosave is in progress, the UI is completely frozen. If you are in flight or whatever, sometimes it's super easy to see that it is auto-saving, because it says so right in the middle of the screen. But if you are in the station build editor, for example, or ship build/upgrade/repair screen, the words that tell you that it is auto-saving are hidden behind the current scene and so that might be confusing.
