Petit Freeze

[Chalenge]

I do not think the pauses are in the AHF file, but they are obvious in the video. The AHF file may be three seconds shorter, so the pauses would be at 5:38, and 10:39 there.

The one I watch the attachment in film viewer looked smooth at those points noted.

OK I looked again at those new points very carefuly with film viewer it looks as smooth as butter.

AS you said the film on Utube should be good to do a side by side look.

[Chalenge]

Yes, aaron, HiTech and Skuzzy can see details in the films that we are not aware of. The video I am uploading will allow them to see the severity, for instance. The AHF file allows them to see if there were any events that may be causing it in the game, or whether they need to consider something else.

[aaronr]

I assumed as much they should have some interface that allows real time data to be read as it's happening.
I just found it interesting that it appeared to be smooth.

[Chalenge]

I trimmed up the video hoping to speed it up, but it didn't help.

I never get them using vox. I do not see them in busy areas of the arena where lots of users are. The pauses I recorded were out in the middle of nowhere between an airfield and the AAA factory, southern country, SFMA map. It should be a pretty good indication of what is really causing the problem, but the situation could be made worse on some systems when vox is used at the same time the problem occurs. Either way, I think they will figure it out.

Would higher temperatures of Graph cards or just higher in general, cause these sticky frame problems? Seem most of the post/ replies are saying after a while? In game a bit then it starts up?  I am no pc expert but do know that heat can do some funky stuff with precision nescessary aplications

. . . The inconsistency, plus the lack of people actually giving us information about the crash is stalling any effort to track it down. 

. . .Try taking your car to a mechanic, tossing him the keys and saying, "Fix it!".  Then walk away.

Skuzzy, I think you can lay the lack of feedback at HTC's feet.  Please note that a lot of players never come to this forum.  Point two, you need to dumb down your PC talk.  A good, simple example is CTD.  What the heck is a CTD asked on vox last night.  It is always good to type that Crash To Desk Top (CTD) or you will have people guessing or just ignore the message.   

Not sure why HTC does not use the arena message as a way of telling people how to recover and send in the information you want.

Help us, help you.

I get these mini pauses but it is usually followed by a notification that a skin has downloaded.

Heat would cause more serious stuff then that. Like Blue screen crashes. Most frame rate problems Ive seen come from over taxed hard ware per the application or connection problems.

[Chalenge]

I have all of the skins, and it is not a heat issue. I did remove the audio track to make the file transfer smaller, but it wouldn't have made a difference anyway. I drove into a congested area with about twenty users and lots of vox chatter and there wasn't even a drop in frames. I'm out in the middle of nowhere and at random intervals get 'pauses' like this.

If you are seeing something different then please post up your video. The only reason my video is 'unlisted' is so it isn't seen as a published video on my channel and as a courtesy to HTC.

Could this be related to the text buffer somehow?

I have been getting the momentary freezes as well, they also show a spike on Net Status. Been trying to narrow down which process is doing it on my system, but nothing definitive yet. With my Logitech, Saitek and CH hardware, I have a lot more than just 35 to 40 process running. More like 90 to 98.

Same exact issue ... screen freeze and net stat spike .  I'm not running anything in background and bare bones win7 with 22 processes including AH.

Same..pressing and releasing key for both ingame and Teamspeak. (Nothing mapped to teamspeak key).

Also getting the freezes periodically again (noticed it yesterday...and they are bigger than before). 

Software or server?

Observable via film here-- (5:00 mark if time marked link does not work).


You can see it in the attached AHF file at 14:21 mark...it "hitches" but the pause in film is nowhere as severe as the pause on video (and video matches what I see).
