I have never run the DX9 version so I can not answer that question... I am running on Windows 10 with nvidia 730 with latest drivers. Framerates run between 45 and 60 most of the time.

Sometimes the barrels of the 8in guns are gone. I also have had the frame drop on several occasions right after the gun flash of the 8in guns. If that might help.

An NVidia 730 card is going to struggle to keep up in AH3.  Not much we can do about that.  It is slightly slower than the minimum required 9800GTX.

I'm curious if the new LDA (linked-display adaptor) mode of Windows 10 might be able to use that card along side of a better one, rather than use SLI. I have heard that Microsoft has it sorted out now, but I don't know if the game itself has to be programmed for it? I started to test for it last night, but Nvidia demanded I close too many programs, so I didn't.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

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

I can't even connect it to any specific event in the game. It's just every few minutes a 1 second freeze. Fortunately, during combat I only had it once, faceplanted my Hurri D because of it.
I may occasionally see it in other bombers too, at least I see their drones jumping back and forth on occasion.

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

I don't have widows 10 but did discover there was a driver update for my sounblaster Z. I installed it and played for half an hour with no micro-freezes. I'm not entirely sure it's a fix but I was getting them every 10 minutes or so before so I'm hopeful.

is it anything to do with the skins downloading? 

I haven't had it happen in DX11 version since this last patch and that is the only thing I have changed ticking the skin download in background?

Not skins related.  We disabled download/show skins etc. and freeze was still happening.  Did run the DX9 version and didn't have the freeze - not ideal.

Same freeze (if you haven't watched the video I linked earlier, you can see it there) issue...running a 980ti card at 120fps (120hz monitor/TV) with graphics maxed.

Nothing changed on my system but the V1 (go live) release update.  Was NOT a problem prior, is a problem now.  Been lucky enough to not hit the ground yet...but have missed several shots/died due to it :(

I was getting microfreezes in the last couple of days.  I changed em to none and that stopped the microfreezes.

my only droping of framerate and micro freezing is occurring during auto ack firing on both friendly and enemy fields, especially large fields. Usaully I maintain a solid 59 fr, then it will suddenly drop quickly down to 12 fr approaching fields, and then recover to 59 fr, as I fly away.
