Merges w/ skinned planes cause freezes

Merges w/ skinned planes cause freezes... beta 35

Ok it seams that when i merge with one of the skinned planes I end up getting a breif game freeze up .

this doesnt happen with the normal planes

Say spit 5 vs spit 5

But in a spit 5 against a 109 w/ a skin I always get this freeze at the 1st merge ...

(ive been beating myself over the head for over a week on this)


Asus a7n8x del
2500+ amd at 2.2ghz
2x512 ddr
TI 4600 w 56.xx drivers dx9.0b
Win 98se w/ sp1.5

this also happens on my
1.3 amd ecs k7s5a
512 ram
GF2 mx 400 64mb 56.xx drivers
same os ect

Thats weird. I had that in beta 33-34 but now with beta 35 its fine. Just waiting on them to patch the typeing bug. If I try to type It drops my frame rate from 65 to 8:confused: Pyro said it will be much better in Beta 36. By the way cpu still running good jsut a lil hot though.

this is a different bug Jay ..  its been haunting alot of us for awhile now. well since the 1st beta almost ...


this also happens when i reverse the equation ... in a skinned 190  against several nme cons I gota shorter freeze and they complained about a freeze .

O.......... Guess I have been one of the lucky few that hasn't seen this problem yet. Since around the 1st beta... That is a long time waiting for a patch. Guess cross you fingers and hope it gets fixed with the next patch. 36th time is a charm;)

Made that merge with Roscoroo......first pass....he stuttered and I did also earlier. I am using the 109G10 JG/300 skin.  Maybe dumping memory from cache to load new skin?

Shot in the dark here....just a thought.

That should happen only the first time you see the skin. After that it shouldn't happen again.

I went to the hanger and selected all the new skins and saved them .(i did this over a week ago )

I'll try to do some repeat testing w/ same skin situations and see if it goes away.
