I was getting the freezes using DX11 in the MA.
I don’t get the freezes using DX11 offline or online in Match Play.
I don’t get the freezes using VR offline or online in Match Play.
I’ve never got the freezes using DX9.

IMO, the easiest answer, before someone discovers gold is

VR use DX11 version
No VR use DX9 version
Steam players who have freezes with no VR should move to the standalone version and use DX9.

If you don’t experience the freezes in DX11 it doesn’t matter which version.

DX 9 in AH distorts the text in text buffer. It’s so distracting I’ll put up with game freezes in DX 11 even though I don’t use VR.

I saw Lord of the Rings Online “LOTRO” has been preparing to upgrade all of their arena servers to 64-bit because of persistent lag issues, by mid 2025. They’re currently beta testing the upgrade on two large servers. Relative to this, idk, worth considering…

They're casting their bait over there, see?

The only problem I have with the DX9 version is having to Alt tab to close the game. I only get the freezes in the MA with the DX11 version.

Since I don’t use VR anyway what will I be losing if I make the move to DX9? The freezes at first were tolerable but they are becoming more consistent and lengthier in duration. Twice this weekend it happened to me as my level bombsight cross hair was on target and I missed long each time.

I’ve also noticed it’s started to happen a lot when there is a lot of action going on around me or when the clouds are more prevalent. I do not know if they are the same exact freezes for the same reasons.

I’m still playing anyway.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

I've never noticed any discernable difference between DX9 or DX11. Then again, I've never had the micro freezes either. /shrug

I had mine down to very quick, enabled s quality setting and they went back to what everyone else sees.

Won’t hurt anything to try it. I’m still using 11 out of curiosity.
