Game is awful glitchy

Been seeing things lately I dont like to see

I understand there are comms for this and its against the rules but at what point does someone else sqwak loud enough to get a conversation going about it on bbs.

Hasn’t happened to me.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Hasn’t happened to me. Does it happen on both of your devices?

That said, I had a vid card that was clogged with dust, would over-heat and give me black screen in intensive graphics. As soon as it cooled it was fine until it over-heated again? Computers need to be cleaned Diodes on circuit boards are susceptible to heat and can cut signal until cooled.

May not be your issue, just ideas, but you’re the only one reporting it, so far.

Hasnt happened to me either. I know some people have micro freezes but no one has really found a reason for it. If your having anything other than that Id say it is more likely to be your computer. In your case you run two laptops and if it is happening on both then Id look at the internet connection.

No one is "changing code in real time". Everyones first instinct is to "go there". It can never be a persons computer or his/her connection. If there is a bug in the game the boards would be on fire with everyone posting complaints. Seeing that isnt happening it is more likely a personal issue. Considering how many computers are out there and how many issues they can have it isnt too far fetched that a small group of people are having issues at the same time.

These are the things you have control of......

Clean your computer, blow it out and clean the fins, blades and be sure all fans are running.

Clean the software, runs disk scans, malware scans, defrag and be sure you find any programs that are running in the background that you dont need and shut them down.

Check your connection. again be sure its a good and clean as you can get. Reboot routers and modems. Routers and modems dont last for ever. In my experience after a few years they start getting flaky and need to be rebooted more often. Some times a software update helps, but if you find yourself rebooting more than once a week, it might be time for a new unit.

Routers should be rebooted every 2 wks to 1 month. Your router uses memory just like a computer. But over time, that memory can get clogged, slowing down its processes and performance. Rebooting your router clears away unused files to free up some memory, which can make your internet stream and download much quicker.

Getting the micro freezes and now a dinging like a notification or USB device getting recognized or something which gives me a glitch or two when things get busy..

That might be the vr cable going south again..

Then there is the swapping countries to hunt specific special ppl but that's a different paranoia and insecurity for another thread ..

You missed your pick on my last sortie last night boy as another gang banger got it.. lol

Same here.
Wondering if its a Win11 issue resetting background processes. Had no time to look into it yet.
On my desktop Win Update started running in bkg after a update.

I get the frame freezes. Super annoying. Someone mentioned running the game in DX9 instead of DX11 fixes it, but that didn’t work for me (and DX9 distorted some of my graphics).

FT still thinking HT is changing things to counter his ego?  :noid  :rofl

Aside from that....

I first experienced this after the new isp switchover and when I notice and track, my micro-freezes last about a half second or so and seem to occur at regular 10 min intervals once the first ding is noted.  I try and grab a screen shot for time and visible spike.  I haven't tracked each login or all freezes but have enough samples like the below:

Thanks for posting this. I was just thinking of game ISP association and time intervals, because everyone seems to have the issue, you just confirmed the thought. This SEEMINGLY seems to narrow thins down.

The unknown to me is if we all, or some specific subset, experience it at the same time or the same interval timing or if it's more unique to each of our connections independently.  The only consistency I see is that 10 min spacing - the minute mark could be x:x7 as posted, or other times it may be on a x:x3 mark.  I've not yet tracked if it starts as soon as I logon or if after some time in-game...

But yeah, it struck me as reminiscent of an isp activity/timer check of old days...

Haven't noticed freezes.  Win7 and DX9.

yep, getting micro freezes and I'll pay attention to the time between net time.
