8 second double freezes now?
« on: September 26, 2024, 07:27:03 AM »
Thats right. Back to back freezes that lasted 8 seconds. Happened this morning.

BROKEN :bhead

Osmium, you saw it all happen. Can you describe what you saw? My freeze began right after that hard stall turn to line you up. If this is a connection issue, I can safely assume my lead plane would have warped.

I was alive when i made the turn and the freezes began. When I come back im in tower. I didnt see a damn thing happen. You werent even firing on me when the screen went black.

I do not experience these game freezes while playing other games... its very much my system reacting to something going wrong with the game. Happens on both laptops but this time a double freeze 10 minutes into logging and in flight to defend a base?

Yeah im definetly gonna "de-populate" the arena by logging 2 capable accounts willing to have a fight in a dead morning arena while a group of bish players roll undefended bases while listening to Cher's greatest hits album  :neener:

Same

Cant rememeber the last time I logged in just to log out due to an in-game bug or lack of quality

Low numbers have never stopped me from wanting to play. Fighting the morning horde has but only after giving it a good run for a few sorties and delaying a capture long enough to feel satisfied that ive kept them honest.

That big a delay sounds like a connection issue. Did you check the in game connection meter? Did you check a program like "pingplotter" to see the hops/connection speeds/dropped packets?

Details ! If 50+ people are having a big delay in the game, its a game/server issue. If its a single player, its something on your end. Dont be so quick to blame HTC

Fugi, good morning! <S> Been extremely busy IRL and still plan on doing what I shared with you. Not used to being a semi-succesfull business professional :rofl My time participating in-game and out has dropped by over 75% in the past 2 weeks. Been experiencing withdrawls too from the game :x

Connection is rock solid this morning. Black screen then immediately into some kind of screen reset where it goes black then something else then black again that last 3-4 seconds. This was immediately proceeded by a 2nd black screen event id like to call a cycle. I am maintaining a solid 80-90 ping. I am usually playing at 100-120 ping with regular freezes that are not frequent but discouraging when it happens at a critical time. Having 2 laptops that are 2 totally different systems, built years apart from each other, with completely different hardware, its discouraging my gaming laptop that runs just fine outside of the game has this issue more frequently than the crap laptop with bare minimum specs thats 4 years older.



No blame HTC's way until I have proof that is the case....


Im not here to make an enemy out of Dale. I understand it is just him nowadays. Lets look at this issue adjectively.

The product has a problem and it IS getting worse. The answer from the developer in regards to why this is occurring and how to fix it is....

"I dont know"

My responsibility as a consumer and customer is to pay my subscription and enjoy the game.

HTC's responsibility is to provide a quality product and maintain support for the game. Thats just good business.

Try switching to DX9 if you're using DX11, or vice versa.

I made the switch to DX9 a couple weeks ago. Never had a double freeze with DX11

It seems to be a localized issue to you, whether isp/connex related or something else happening in your system.  You're not providing enough data to narrow it down, but I'm leaning towards an isp burp or a program update/check.

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

OK, black screen sounds like a video card issue. Do you have pets? Cat or dog? Laptops are notorious for over heating issue due to the small openings for air to pass through. Pet dander clogs those holes up even more. Get some compressed air cans and blow out the vents on the laptops. A monitoring program to view temps might help narrow down the issues too.

No rush on the other thing, looking forward to seeing what you do with them.  <S>

I'll agree the black screen is vid card/graphical related and possibly overheating...

FineTime - iirc you play on laptop(s)?
