Tons of game glitches since my return

[Flyboy56]

Here we go..I think..lol



Hoping in game shortly but will check the forums on and off thanks again for everyones help.

You ran it 10 minutes with a ping every 30 seconds.

I would set it to run a ping every second, for 5-10 minutes to get a good sampling. Also using the internet for other thinks while running can skew the results, much like having other things running in the background while playing the game could mess with the game.

Having said that, what you have isnt horrible from what I understand. Hops 9 and 11 have some big spreads which might cause an issue. Your average ping is like 50ms (good), but those two jump to over 350ms (bad).

Hey Fugitive, seeing if you had a chance to look at that last chart I posted or if I did it wrong again let me know. Thanks!

Sorry, I thought I had already posted this, must have been on my phone when I saw it.

Like the first run, hops 9 and 11 are the ones giving you the biggest issue. They are more than enough to give you the ship gun issues. However, you have a really good ping time and it looks rather stable other than those two hops. Your return trip could be a mess. The only way to test that is to ask Hitech to run a ping from his end to your IP. I think it would be a waste of time as your ping looks good enough that a return run being a mess is un likely.

I still think your biggest problem is a conflict with your sound drivers. I asked google how to "uninstall and reinstall sound driver and this is what I got.

Step-by-step guide:
Open Device Manager:
Click the Start button and search for "Device Manager".
Select the Device Manager application from the search results.
Locate your audio device:
In the Device Manager window, find and expand the category named "Audio inputs and outputs" or "Sound, video, and game controllers".
Uninstall the audio device:
Right-click on your audio device (e.g., your speakers or sound card).
Select "Uninstall device" from the context menu.
A confirmation window may appear; follow any on-screen prompts to complete the uninstallation.
Restart your computer:
After uninstalling, restart your computer. This is a crucial step that allows Windows to automatically find and reinstall the best drivers for your hardware.
Verify reinstallation:
Once your computer restarts, the driver should be reinstalled automatically.
If not, go back to Device Manager, click the "Action" menu, and select "Scan for hardware changes" to initiate the installation process.


Its pretty straight forward. My computer has two sound devices (one on the motherboard, and a plug in card). If I had an issue I would do this to both of them one at a time, start to finish.

I will try that with the sound card and thank you again for the help with all these topics!

Tried the reinstall, but its worse. 88s always cause it now the drumming sounds going off, bombs going off nearby when in a GV. Almost sounds like the drums from Jumanji.. So I guess its just is what it is with this. It almost discos me too with great fiber connection when theres enough explosions. FR dropped from 120 to 42 at one point when people were bombing town but my connection was 500/500 mbps hard wired.

Speed isnt the deciding factor, quality is. You can have the fastest connection in the world and if it keeps dropping packets you will get discoed and have lag type issues.


By "tried the reinstall" are you referring to the game, or the sound drivers?

I wish you could capture the sound anomaly you talking about, maybe record it with a cellphone and we can find a place to host it.

The fact that you're the only one having this problem leads me to believe that you have some sort of conflict on your machine.

Have you posted a dxdiag report? The first third or so should be sufficient for one of the experts to see any potential problems.
Here is how to do it: https://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,342871.msg4526838.html#msg4526838

Another suggestion is to disable all but one of the sound devices installed on your computer and see if the issue goes away. If you have more than one sound device rotate through them one at a time to see if it is better or worse with a given sound device.

You keep going back to how fast your connection is and that really has nothing to do with the sound issue you are experiencing, and the sound issue may in fact have something to do with your unstable connection.

Work one problem at a time. First get the sound issues resolved then you can worry about any connection issues you have.

I just left the game for the day and had the sound stuck at A92 with bish battleship ack ack puffing and I was in town in a GV. I shouldve recorded but I know WaddedUp is another that hears it, unsure if others have too. I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver software in device manager.

Yeah I'm just stating that my connection is fast, but outside of the upload and download speeds I am clueless as to what can cause issues inbetween. We used Data Marines in my comm unit for that stuff haha.. But I do have speakers plugged in, a built in speaker in my monitor, and a headset. I uninstalled the all 3 drivers that showed under sound in device manager and reinstalled the drivers. Its not the end of the world but I'm unable to be near larger fights without major sound issues accompanied with s"skips" of what I see like the frame paused for a micro second or something.

Tried to check other films for sound but I couldn't find any that did it. I've attached another odd message saying "you shot yourself" while doing nothing but flying

If you had dropped a bomb you may have hit a friendly GV/plane/bailed player with it or with splash damage. That would give you that message.

Okay weird I was just flying way past when the bombs went off but I’ve never seen that before even in AH2 so wanted to post it for you but good to know it’s not a one off.

Maybe try disabling all sound devices except for your headset device in device manager then go in the game to sounds, pick your headset and see if that makes a difference. Seems to be a lot of sound stuff going on that could be conflicting with each other

[Flyboy56]

I’ll give it a shot but I just want to mention the game “Hell Let Loose” I also play and has pretty decent sounds including similar explosions with land mines and Artie. I will give it a shot for sure though but just comparing something similar using the same computer to see if this is possible and still have a sound card issue
