Mini-freeze since update
« on: March 22, 2008, 09:54:03 AM »
Since the last update, I get some mini-freeze when I first hit any enemy during each sortie. This freeze is big enough not only to interfere with my aim, but caused a few deaths by collision or by augering.
I had not changed any settings after updating. I had not  reconfigured anything on my system or installed any new software. I only defragmented harddrive after update.
I was running 1280*1024, textures (512) preloading in system memory. AMD 64X2, Win XP, 2GB RAm, GF 7600GT.
To help me identifying the problem I removed all custom sounds and changed texture size to 256, to no avail. Texture size 256, 512 or 1024 with high-res pack, I always get the same result. I shoot, the moment my shells are about to impact - freeze. If I completely miss, no freeze.
I have no FR issues in any way.

Out of ideas now.


(Interesting side note: I noticed that each time I now run AH2, some files (all stdshapes) in cache getting fragmented again. Something I dind't experience before - And I always used to do regulary scans & defrags with O&O defrag)

I was getting the same thing, but figured it was the servers working over time pushing out copy after copy of the new release. I hope it will settle down after a couple of weeks.

That's no server issue, as I get this particular freeze offline too. It's somewhere system related. First hit's on enemy during sortie = freeze, no matter if on- or offline.

Yeah, I also think it's the server being over burden.  I'm having the same issue with the mini-freezes.

I haven't played offline yet.

P.S.  Have you defraged your harddrive since the download?

Same issue here, first engagement of enemy, I get about a five second freeze, usually as I am within firing range. Also have had all my bases disapear off my maps!??

Here is what I have done so far: De-fragged the hardrive, changed all video settings to performance, changed my video settings for aces high to lowwer settings, set my video detail sliders all the way to the right in the game.

This did net an improved frame rate...a whopping 23 now, but, the freeze still happens. I have squadies experiencing the same thing, almost all of them have suffered from a frame rate loss as well.

I'm sure that we'll get it worked out. :aok

Lusche: This sounds a lot like the stuttering I had noticed.  Problem happens offline and generally the first time I do certain things (fire my guns, hit an enemy, they burst into flames, etc).  None of this happened before the update.

My system: Intel Q6700 Quad Core2 2.66, nVidia 8800 GTS SSC w/ 640 MB video member, 2 GB PC DDR2 800 (PC2 6400), Windows XP.

I run the textures at 1024, but again, no stutter before this update.

also have you players cleaned out your films folder or deleted your cache folder to let it rebuild with updated files?

these 2 things might be causing the mini-freezes.......

Cache deleted, no films. Also it makes no difference if I'm filming or not.

I have the exact same symptoms, Lusche. We have different processors, but similar video cards, RAM and OS.
