Title: Pauses and warps
Post by: Baine on November 27, 2001, 09:18:00 AM

I've been suffering lots of pauses and warps whenever I get into a target rich environment. Usually the game locks up briefly, but repeatedly, as I approach a furball or planes warp as I try to close in on em. It makes dogfighting pretty difficult.
I've been playing since Sept. but only noticed the problem recently.

I've been seeing the same, but only for specific targets. I'll fly toward a furball, but not all the airplanes exhibit this "freeze/unfreeze" phenomenon. If it were all of them, I'd know it was a systemic problem - either with HTC's or mine. When it's only one aircaft in a pack that's doing it, I don't know what to make of it.

Friendly planes are fine, get close to an enemy plane, freezes make AH unplayable.  :mad:

Had similar problems.

Observation:

I had AHvoice open, horrible stutters  and frame rates dropped to 2 at times.  All planes were pulsing (fly fine 2 sec, warp, fly fine 2 sec, warp, fly fine 2 sec, warp, fly fine 2 sec, warp ...) very consistently.

Turning off AHv, relogging or restaring AH did not make condition go away, however rebooting did.
