Petit Freeze

[Blade]

I think AH3 still petit freeze sometimes.

I'm getting them too. The longer I stay online the more I see. Smooth at first, but then petit (micro) freezes, or sticky frames.

[Condor]

Interesting. I was getting them until Monday or Tuesday. Then they stopped. I t could have been an update to my sound card driver or the new patch or ......    Anyway, I'm glad there gone.

It could be Windows update running on my network. I still have machines that are not completely update. Microsoft's favor to us all.

My network is all of ONE computer.

I have deferred upgrades selected, and I'm seeing freezes again after not seeing them right after patch and server reset.

Since it is across multiple players, maybe its not "us"....right after server reset it seemed fine....after 24 hours plus, it seems to have started back again.

The "deferred upgrade" option only stops the installation of "upgrades", it does not stop security updates from being installed.  That option is only available in Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise.

You can always alt-tab from the game, pull up the task manager and see if updates are being installed.

Well, there is also an alt-tab CTD issue right now. Windows key too for that matter.

Again, not happening to everyone.  The inconsistency, plus the lack of people actually giving us information about the crash is stalling any effort to track it down.  We have had zero luck duplicating these issues.  Without being able to duplicate them, it is virtually impossible to fix.

We need information.  We need the offset shown in the Windows crash dialog.  Make no mistake about it, we want to fix these issues, but we cannot do much when we have no way to reproduce the problem.

Try taking your car to a mechanic, tossing him the keys and saying, "Fix it!".  Then walk away.

I have been getting the momentary freezes as well, they also show a spike on Net Status. Been trying to narrow down which process is doing it on my system, but nothing definitive yet. With my Logitech, Saitek and CH hardware, I have a lot more than just 35 to 40 process running. More like 90 to 98.

That's just it. Windows 10 is not throwing an error. It just closes the game and shunts it off to processes. If I knew how to trap it I would have submitted it long ago.

That is not a CTD (crash to desktop).  That seems to have something to do with DX11.  The DX9 version does not do it (at least not that we are aware of).  Still trying to duplicate that one.

[Bizman]

I still get the micro freezes, too. And it definitely isn't anything updating in the background.

Also, especially at the early stage of a gaming session, toggling the zoom causes a micro freeze.

[Skuzzy]

The minimizing issue with the DX11 version may be corrected with Patch 2.  We have one person, so far, saying it did.

If film will help with the freeze and the app disappearing (not crashing, the process just disappears, no crash log, no "Aces High has stopped responding" ) I have film of both from FSO the last couple of weeks.

Let me know and I'll post then here.

The "app disappearing" should be fixed in Patch 2.  If anyone still gets it, then we need to know, but we believe that issue is corrected.
