Are these game freezes the result of someone changing codes in real time?

[Animl-AW]

I just made the gfx card tweaks (game specific), and only disabled GeForceEX as a test before uninstalling.  The only gfx tweak unavailable to me was the shader cache.

I'll give this a go.

new pc (3/24):  Win 11pro, dx12, NV GeForce RTX 3080

Its said Game Mode should be turned off, but I have it on with no ill effects.

It may end up being a combo of settings, but hoping not. That would be time consuming to figure out.

I snuck onto Dale's property last night and connected directly to the severs. The cost in cable is a bit much for the run to my home.... but... the frozen margaritas somewhat offset the agony.

Also the last time I was researching the issues (many years back) I found out a few other games had the exact same issue. My assumption has always been Nvidia is doing some type of memory reorganization do to something like fragmentation. Just a guess.

With nothing but imagination running, it kinda had a feel of something loading up and then purging it causing a brief lockup/freeze. Total imagination. The exact 10 min threw me off, evidently the action is timed. I’ll narrow it down eventually.

SEEMINGLY in a Quality process, hoping performance would by-pass the process. Somewhere it did.

Next I’ll reset TCP to default and see if it returns. If not then our assumption is probably right.

Made a film to synchronize with the 10 minute spikes:

The freeze happens at 2 minutes into the film.  While flying there was a definite pause, but the film shows only a slight effect.  So, film doesn't really demonstrate the pause, but posted in case there is useful info embedded.

DX11.

Can you repro this in the offline practice?

That would tend to suggest GPU rather than anything net related.

I have similar thoughts.
My CPU is unparked, other CPU intensive resource hogs are disabled. AH is more CPU intensive over GPU than days past.

Here's a ball grabber.
I seriously uncorked this vid card.
While Shane and I were testing things, I noticed something crazy.
My monitor is 60 refresh max, therefore my card is 60hz max. My FPS use to be a rock solid 60 no matter what. Makes sense, right?
I noticed my FPS is now >> 300 <<,.. from 60 to solid 300. That's bat-sht crzy. I'm prolly dumping more frames than I'm using.
300 is amazing smooth, like RL smooth.

I Reset all TCP settings to default, and testing, while chatting with Shane testing his in the MA.

I only had one single freeze in 2 flights, and I think that was self induced., about 45 min worth of flying. Not even a glitch,..
but WOW, pretty sure its VSync set to Fast, boosted me from a rock soild 60 fps to 300 fps. as smooth as RL.

ANYWAY, I'm thinking it's more vid or CPU than connection. I'll fly again as is, TCP at default, before I claim it's not connection

Whaaaat???? Anyone can make frozen margaritas

Thanks all who are spending time on this, and Dale for responding, thought, if we think it's nvidia related, is anyone running a AMD GPU and can post their experiences? (ask your squaddies!)

So far, everyone who chimed in with freezes have been nvidia users.
Not sure if its nvidia or something effecting nvidia cards.

Skyyr said he has AMD cpu, not sure if his card is AMD. So far, the only one who mentioned anything else. But don’t remember if he said he had freezes

Thanks to your and Popeye’s time and contribution to the issue. It was informative.

I see no negative replies, hopefully that means players are enjoying being players. Cryin about who killed who is a healthy game that’s still working.

I’m still going to narrow this down, but input is valuable, don’t hesitate, positive or negative.

I hope something here was a working work-around

It has something to do with skins, HT/Dale, how often does the game/client check for new skins?, would it be 10 mins?

I turned off "automatically download skins", but it didn't actually make a difference (i suspect it still checks in, but doesn't download anything in this mode), however, with that setting on, and selecting a skin I did not have, clicking it to kick it's download off, I get the freeze after the skin is downloaded, and while it's moving into the skins folder, or (it's hard to time) when the cleanup happens (when the res.fth is renamed to .res and moved to skins folder)

Can anyone replicate?
