DX11 not worth using after last patch
« on: December 08, 2016, 04:57:57 PM »
 No DMP.  Three screen freezes in just a few minutes
Please fix this.

DX11 only....no issues.  Wonder if somehow patch's are getting whacked by anti-virus when installing?

Best i can tell this is mostly AMD card issue that HTC is unable to solve or fix.  I had 7 screen freezes that required powering down the pc to get out.  Several others on vox and buffer said dx11 was now unplayable since this new patch or a combination of this map and the new patch.

This is an AMD issue.  Had seven of these events last night.  HTC must not be using AMD cards and probably not using W10 from skuzzy's hate w10 post so that may be the biggest problem.

I have had a total of one crash since AH3 went live. Lots of micro-freezes, but just one crash. The .dmp file was empty, but there was a .dmp file. I do use Nvidia cards, but I also have W10. I believe that Skuzzy uses AMD, so . . .

But from his hate w10 post I would say he does not use w10.

I guess i am just real frustrated with this problem since it seems to be getting worse not better.  Nothing worse than having your country mates depending on you like running troops and the screen freezes happens just at the wrong time.

I'm an AMD user, and cannot run the newest AHIII on dx11 either without hard crashes.

Just updated, joined a mission which was about to end, landed... No issues, AMD HD6970. Let's see how it runs later in the evening for a longer stint.

Pudige posted that a new set of AMD drivers has just became available.  I tried them yesterday and went the whole session without a stutter or freeze.

Bizman it looks like the problem is AMD with W10.  I would note too the problem seems to come back with every patch albeit, I am not sure about this point.

Randy, did you recently get a W10 update? Mine came in last night. I was forced to clean my Nvidia drivers off and reinstall them. Windows updates are messy these days.

It could be that.  If the freezes occur after the next update, I will try a fresh driver install and see what happens.
