Screen Freezing alot Urgent Need Help
« on: June 28, 2013, 02:03:40 PM »
High all,
Since last couple days my screen start to freeze a lot. I checked everything i can think of but could not find a reason on my end which might cause it.

The screen freezes for couple secs. when:
1. merging with an other enemy player.
2. when i open fire
3. when somebody (or base ack) opens fire on me.

Below please find my system configuration:



GPU: Nvidia GT630M (1Gb Ram) , 3d settings are set to  `let the application decide.`

DirectX results:

My Video Setting:


All the other in game settings are currently set to minimum (but i was running with with full settings without any problem at about 58-60fps till couple days ago.)

Pingplotter Results:


Joystick : Logitech 3dExtremePro.
Rudder Pedals: Noname USB racing pedals.

You say that you're using an Nvidia GT630M, but your dxdiag says "Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000". This sounds like you're having two GPU's on the  same laptop, a popular thing these days. First thing would be to check if for some reason AH is not on the list of programs using the GT630. The setting may change automatically after an update.
 
You might also want to know that in the 600 series the GT630M is in the lowest third, starting from 605 and ending in 690, M for mobile usually meaning somewhat poorer performance compared to the desktop equivalent due to heat producing issues.

Thnx for the reply.
I am pretty sure that A2H works on the GT630M.
About the card being not the best, its enough for the this game and I can run the most of the modern games on medium setting without any problem.

Triple check. A long time AH'er friend of mine had issues and to his surprise the settings had changed although he believed he had checked and double checked it until he did a thorough check just to find out AH was indeed running on the Intel circuitry.

[edit]Seems you've been double posting on several forums and got the real answer for your specific problem from Skyzzy.

All the others having similar setups, the triple checking advice is still sound... [/edit]
