In truth gentleman i used the cheatcode ploy to bait yall in  :cheers:

Want to thank everyone for posting and contributing their feedback on the matter.

WHo knows what is really going on. What we all know is with no communication the community is bound to speculate.

That is preventable with just a little communication. The problem is significant when in the heat of the battle. Its nothing on the way to target. Imagine 3 black screens in a 10-15 minute time period while working a base, all 3 black screen occuring at critical moments. Both laptops experience this. 2 totally different machines with drastically different hardware.

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.

Sounds like you have two septette problems.

I do notice if I plug stick into same USB port I don’t have to recalibrate. If I change ports I do. So I think its a windows usb thing. All my gear now rest in designated ports of the usb hub.

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.

Yeah you do, that was awesome. They all laughed......except the "curvy" one.

I'm gonna time these things too next time I get a chance.

Regardless, it seems isolated, check your temps. The fact its two machines of one person you’re prolly making settings (doing something) that conflicts.

Are you overclocking anything?

Don’t be a dweeb  We invoice for that :)

I'm also getting micro freezes for the past 30 days.  I do see a spike register in the variance in delay.  I tried overclocking CPU (6900k) even more, but that only helped the gameplay smoother, but didn't get rid of micro freezes.

I'm also losing udp and game switches to tcp exactly at midnight, mountain time, I think daily.

I checked my DHCP lease times for my home router and ISP and neither line up with either network issues.

Funny you say this because I have to calibrate every time I log in, too. I just blamed it on my new stick. Old stick I never calibrated lol.

Historically DirectX  DX11 caused freezes. switching to DX9 solved the problems for many.

Correct, DX11 must be used for VR.

As for recalibrating sticks, that sounds like those players are losing USB power. In the search bar in the lower left of your screen type "device manager" and click to open the device manager in the right window pane. Then scroll to the bottom and click the arrow next to "Universal Serial Bus Controllers".  Right click each one that has HUB in it and select properties then power management. Make sure the "Allow computer to turn off" box is unchecked. Click OK to close the window.

Mine doesn’t lose complete calibration. My X52 used to do that back in AH2, and I had to buy a powered USB hub. That thing would just flash the lights and lose calibration mid flight (usually at the most in opportune moment  :rofl). This stick is just has an axis slightly off center, so I’m fairly certain it’s probably the pot. I’ll check those settings though. Thanks Fugi.

This is becoming a huge problem. Im having them happen right before or during my bomb drops and it is disrupting clean drops entirely.

HTC PLEASE ADDRESS THIS IN A STATEMENT TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY WITH AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT :old:

It is progressively getting worse

I have always used DX11 on my laptops and not used VR

Never had problems until recently and the more its going on the more frequent it is each day

I noticed when the server switched that my desktop icon was DX11 and my DX9 icon was gone.  I always flew DX9.  I was getting micro freezes in DX11 and always have had micro freezes in DX11.  I don't fly with VR so I created a DX9 icon shortcut back on my desktop.  I get no micro freezes when I enter the game in DX9.  Again, I don't fly with a VR headset which I believe DX11 is suggested if you do.   There is both an aces high9 and aces high11 in the aces high3 program file.  Either click on the Aces high9 in the program file to launch or create a desktop shortcut icon for aces high9 if you don't have one.  This worked for me.  I hope this is helpful.
