There is an issue for me with occasional stuttering/freezing in this game and other games that seems to be based inside xna/monogame.
I have a 6 core cpu (hyperthreaded to 12), and turning off access to cores 5-11 while keeping 0-4 fixes this 100%. I didn't figure this out on my own, merely found this fix elsewhere.
I don't know the underlying cause of the stutter, just that limiting the processor affinity solves it for SoG and other xna based games.
How to do this manually :: task manager=>details=>secretsofgrindea=>[RMB]=>affinity=>uncheck[5-11]
I have also made this 'hack' automatic via code for a personal copy of another game, so I don't have to manually do it as often.
My 'hack' via code :: Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessorAffinity = (IntPtr) 0x0001F;
Just thought I'd report it.
