Having Issue
« on: January 21, 2026, 10:40:42 PM »

Hello Everyone,

I was a player 2010-12 roughly...and started back up 3 weeks ago.  I have a screen freeze issue that is driving me crazy.  This happens both VR or on monitor.

I have tested all kinds of settings within game and on GPU and in VR sw.  No change.

I get a one to two second freeze....sometimes once every couple mins...sometimes a 3 or 4 in a min. 

To me it seems a latency issue of getting updates when planes appear   or disappear or plane icon is changing size.  Or i could be wrong. 

System
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, AMD Radeon RX 9070XT 16GB, 32GB DDR5 RGB,2TB
Quest 3
No issues with frame rate or drop.  On monitor 300 fps...on vr whatever I set it to  72,80,90,120.

Any solution would be appreciated.

There is a pretty recent subject in the Technical Support forum that might help.

Never had the issue myself so I can't offer up much help.

Take note;
This is the first freeze with VR I read about.
The micro-freeze often talked about were usually in about 10 minute increments, a distinct pattern.

Not every freeze type has the same fix. You can also have a cpl different kinds at once. Some may require a Windows or GPU setting or simply disable some background processes.

My first approach would be tackle unneeded background processes, like software updates.

You can go to my AH Tech Hangar link below and try a few common basic tweaks, before going deep into aggressive settings, and or read Eagler’s link

Just throwing this out there as something you might want to look into. When I had screen freezes it was related to my sound. I remember I had some bizarre fix for it but I don't recall what it was. Your machine seems to have more then enough power on the graphics end so it might not be graphics related.

The screen freezes don’t seem to have any pattern for me, they’re just always when I’m lining up for a shot  :bhead

That’s what made me finally start to figure out a way to fix this for myself at least. It was starting to happen most of all when I was about to shoot.

IMO

These freezes only during making shots could be an illusion thats its only happening during shots

Chances are high that we’re firing guns at least every 10 min

Shane ran network to show the popular micro-freezes were every 10 min. Even if it just captures a different issue besides network, diff subject.

If its truly random it could be a different beast.

Anyone in gaming should limit background processes for these kind if issues.

But ya, during making a shot is teeth gnaching

I have much more weird game play while at the in-laws using starlink than at home with wired cable internet...

My hits on other planes and their hits on me are different depending on which connection I am on..

Your connection and the other players connection have a huge impact on all of it..

IMO, this is the single worst issue the game is experiencing right now. Its probably caused hundreds to stop playing.

Just to be sure hit Ctrl-i to bring up FPS  if I remember right,.  Watch that number when neat the ground or GVing.

AH can drag down a PC with trees and gground detail.

This is happening in many full screen games, not isolated to AH.
But some may think so
