changing file names to get stuff to work properly?

Whatever it takes legally to draw attention to a potentially game ending bug that is progressively getting worse. Gonna try the DX9 version but when I run it the game runs slow... like dramatically lower frame rates

I’m starting to wonder if everyone gets them at the same time. Maybe post “freeze” on ch.200 when it occurs to find out.

Another test would be to check if it happens offline.

If not, it narrows it down, then we need to look at online ISP or setting issues.

I read somewhere in here about switching to the DX-9 version, that stopped the micro freezes on my UI, but then I don't use VR.

I'm inclined to suspect network issues but could be video driver related. Can eliminate that possibility with knowing whether it is happening to both AMD and Nvidia GPUs.

Most here are likely using Nvidia. Anyone using AMD? Problem or no?

My freezes started when the ISP changed as well. I used to play on a laptop and the freezes started right after the ISP change. I run DX11 as well; but surprisingly, I also experienced the freezes with DX9. I didn't run DX9 long enough to see if it was the same recurring issue or just a one-off event

I recently built a new computer and the new computer has the same freezes, so it's not a specific individual computer issue. I did copy my AH files from my old laptop and I haven't tested if a fresh install fixes the issue.

I suspect it's a server call that times out, pointed to the old servers that no longer exist. That's just a hunch, but it behaves exactly as one would expect such a call to behave. The precise recurring interval only adds to that theory.

I'm going to run a TCP/UDP analyzer and see if I can correlate the freezes with anything.

I know for an absolute fact game freezes have happened for multiple players at the same time.

THIS WAS THE MOTIVATION FOR THE NAME OF THIS THREAD.

I cannot prove it. I lack the capability, intelligence, and resolve to figure this out.

The game developers lack of communication does not help the argument that the game is not compromised.

This is now a major issues with 4 freezes in a 30 minute time frame. I am not here to help fix this dam game. Dale has been making 100k-5000k a year on this game for 2 decades. If he is too busy now to fix the quality of life issues while still requiring $15 a month I say let it burn and let's all enjoy the time we have left.

A simple message of "hey, I have a problem. I do/dont have very many answers or a plan to move forward at this time" would have already gone a long way for this community. Alas, we are left to further fuel the flames of speculation.   :banana:

My freezes occur every 10 minutes and I noted that for 40 minutes. 06, 16, 26 and 36 after the hour.

Later that night I watched some of Skyyr's livestream and noted his was freezing at 10 min intervals but not at the same times as mine.

It may not be the game with issues. It may not even be in his hands, and that's what we are trying to figure out. Chances are he'd be asking us the same questions to figure it out.

Lets not beat on HT, or anything that side tracks us from narrowing it down.

If we find out it's Frontier we would have the answer as to where they need to focus attention. He can then get a repair ticket started with Frontier. If it's another trunk system then we'd know to go after them.

Some of us have been troubleshooting things like this for decades. Provide what is wrong tells what needs to be fixed.

I was looking for my XP Game Launcher software because I can run traceroute over and over by click one button over and over to catch it. I got all caught up in finding my AH Tech Hangar page. My Cod I musta drove myself bat-sht-crazy making that site,... it's massive. ANYWAY I found an old tool I had on it. Internet Traffic Report http://internettrafficreport.com/

Has anyone even bothered to have called HT and ask or inform him about the issue?
