Game freezing during combat
« on: September 17, 2016, 05:38:55 PM »
Has anyone else had the issue of the game totally freezing during a fight and then not being able to unfreeze it and have to restart the game?

Considering the sound card drivers are much older than Windows 10, I would suspect those.

You might want to try the DX9 version of the game, but I would really consider updating those sound card drivers.

It seems to me that it is more important now, than every before, to have any sound device that are not using disabled. At least for Windows 10.

Myself and squadmates have same issue. Didn't start happening until the last update.  Not able to tie to a specific event but does seem to most often occur during a snap view change.

Posted this in the DX11 Open Beta bug thread.... but it got closed.

HiTech,

Do you know what is causing the micro-freeze's?  Just started in this last update....

You can see it in the video below (saved a time stamp link..if it doesnt work, then go to 37:50 and watch..you can see the pause at 37:55ish)

Same here.  LOTS of folks talking about it in game, and all say it started after the "go live" patch.

The micro freezes have been reported by at least a dozen players in the forums, maybe more. A Scca pointed out LOTS of players have commented on it in the game. It seems to be mentioned by someone every few minutes in he game. Yet the only responses from tech support that I have seen suggests that a specific player update his sound card drivers and telling another how to address a  variance delay.

There appears to be no ecognition that this is a general problem involving many players all with different operating systems, graphics and sound systems, etc. It's hard to believe that it's due in every case or even most case to some specific hardware or system configuration (e.g. outdated sound card drivers) issue. As has been pointed out, this was not an issue for so many in beta. Now it suddenly appears overnight at the same time for lots of players. I know I made no changes to my system and I doubt that most of the others seeing the issue did either. It's hard to accept that it's not an issue with the game itself.

I'm sorry to sound like a complainer Because I like AH3 and want to see it succeed.

Things like this are difficult to isolate as we cannot duplicate it on any of our systems.  Still trying.

It started doing the freeze down to 1-2 fps since the last 2 updates to the game. It seems to happen when anything comes into icon range. I do not get a system crash just a pause with sound still playing then a jerky restart of the action. Happens more when gunning on ships then flying.
