Black screen usually is a graphics card problem. Heat will do it. When something like that happens to me the first thing I'm looking at is temps.

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.

3-5 seconds of black screen random BS

Isn't the server running on wireless connection?

I've been getting the micro freezes at seemingly set intervals. I was wondering how to get to the "Variance in Delay" page Shane displayed on the knee board so I can track them.
They're fairly annoying and I think one caused Banshee7 not to hear me spew coffee when he told what was stowed in the back of my Hellcat the other night. I almost asked if everything froze a few seconds previous but I was distracted. It would have been interesting to see if happened simultaneously with someone else.
Perhaps folks running through the same dodgy hop on the way to the server are seeing these?

I was getting some bad freezes starting about 6 months ago. But I haven't noticed many since the network upgrade.

Right click on the map and a dropdown menu with various useful informational options appears - towards the bottom is "net status."  That dip you see was my initial logon as I opened up AH to take a screenshot.

I have a potty mouth  :D

I tried tracking times today to see if I got them at 10 min intervals, but I kept getting distracted. I just know they are really annoying.

You think your problem is cause by Hackerz/exploiterz or game bug or your own software/hardware?

If you think it's due to your own software/hardware ....

Check your event viewer.
Monitor your CPU and GPU temps (Specially GPU)
I would also check to see how your Virtual Memory is set up.
Check Drivers, if it's coming from voice coms, check your sound card drivers even if onboard or HDMI output.
Disable Unnecessary Start Up Programs/apps Background Apps (Windows 10 it's easy win 11 it's a PITA) and services.

Some commands that may be helpfull (Google them if you are not sure what they are or what they do)

check drive for smart errors.
cmd as admin
wmic

diskdrive

diskdrive get status

/namespace:\\root\wmi path MSStorageDriver_FailurePredic tStatus

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:esd:E:\Sources\Install.esd:1 /limitaccess (Note this is for win 10 home with the installer as drive E: look up the specifics for this command)

sfc /scannow

CHKDSK /F

What changed between when it didn't do that and now? New connection for HTC is suspect if it started right after that. Of course Windows updates are frequent and always suspect. Set your AV to exclude AH if it ain't already. New hardware? USB hub? Etc...? Something changed to cause it.

I think mine started about 2 weeks ago. Didn’t have it directly after connection upgrade

For me, it was right after the isp switch.  Haven't played much the past few weeks to notice if it's still occurring or not.

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).

I’ve been getting them and often at intervals of 5 or 10 mins. Freeze up for 2-4seconds. It’s been this way since the storm and rumored lightning strike a few months ago, rarely ever prior to that.

Dx11 and Win 10.

I also have to recalibrate with every login, whether coming back from disconnecting or initial login.
They're casting their bait over there, see?
