Bertilak Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I seem to be having the same problem. I have sent a bug report. It freezes both in the game and in the lobby. I have noticed that while in a match the number labeled RUr at the top of the screen will spike immediately following the freeze before resuming as normal.
Exiffa Posted January 2, 2015 Author Posted January 2, 2015 Hmm, can you time the interval between each freeze? Also, what are your specs and background software? we likely have something in common.
Bertilak Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 The time interval between freezes is about 30 seconds and each freeze lasts just a couple seconds. OS: Windows 7 64 bit CPU: AMD Phenom 9850 GPU: AMD R7 260X
Exiffa Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Hmnm, i'm on Windows 7 64 bit too but my CPU is an Intel i7. Are you running any antivirus/firewall software in the background? Have you been able to play at all or has this always happened?
Bertilak Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I am running antivirus software. I've had this issue since it was first installed
Exiffa Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 What is the antivirus software you are using?
Exiffa Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Interesting. I'm also using bitdefender as my antivirus. Perhaps that is causing problems? I've tried disabling it but maybe I didn't disable it properly.
Bertilak Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I just disabled bitdefender and it solved the issue. I turned both the antivirus and the firewall off. Now I'll try turning one of them back on to see which one was the culprit and I'll report back later.
Exiffa Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Nice! I'm still getting freezes when disabling the "virus shield" and "auto scan". How are you disabling it? I'm getting access denied when trying to end the process.
Bertilak Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Ok, the firewall seems to be the problem, not the antivirus. I'm not sure which version of bitdefender you are using (I'm using 2015 total security). On my version you just select protection, then select firewall, and then just click the blue check mark next to firewall and it should disable it.
Exiffa Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 I'm only using the free version of bit defender with no firewall component. I found out that there is a service called gzserv.exe that is still active when i "Disable" bitdefender. So i'll have to find a way to turn this one off and check if that works.
TheM4rble Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Hello fellow captains! My game keeps freezing every time i press and hold any button except spacebar and the mousebuttons. I can't hold down a or d to steer and i can't hold down w,s,q,e,z and c either making it near impossible to steer, I have to double tap a and d to steer and i cant hold shift to zoom, becuase when i do my game freezes until I release it. I have tried every graphic setting and I have also tried windowed and fullscreen and nothing works. Does anybode know how to fix this problem?
Flip Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Do you have any joysticks or joystick drivers installed? Same goes for rudder controls.
TheM4rble Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Do you have any joysticks or joystick drivers installed? Same goes for rudder controls. No I don't pure mouse and keyboard, and it shouldn't be a graphical issue since i get 50-80 fps while not pressing anything. :/
Flip Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Does it freeze like 0 fps or the controls freeze? Hit f11 and send a report for sure.
TheM4rble Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 it freezes like 0 fps. yeah I gues i have to do that
Månis Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Do you have any other applications running, like raptor etc?
TheM4rble Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 nope i have even tried closing most programs, but the freezing wont stop
Prater Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Posts about in game stuff like bugs or freezing belong in sea trials, not general discussion. There is a similar one there. Edit: The post I originally posted in was merged with this one by the admin. Edited January 5, 2015 by Prater
Exiffa Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Alright. It turns out my freezes were caused by Bitdefender. I had to uninstall it to completely disable it but I'm sure there is another way to do it. Thanks guys!
Prater Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Nice, I should have thought of that, but I haven't seen any issues related to av in a couple years now. Modern AV tends to run smoothly when just running on-access scanners instead of a full scan, but I've never used bitdefender. Thanks for posting your solution, most people don't do that.Did you filter out the AV in your process manager log? It should be in there.
Exiffa Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Yes, I had it filtered out as I thought I had already disabled the AV.The process could be disabled by closing the tray application but there was still a bitdefender service that I did not have permission to stop. I just uninstalled and switch to Microsoft Security Essentials. I'd also like to point out that I had problems with bit defender a couple of days ago with the game DCS: World. When the game updated it liked to copy the updater.exe when updating the updater. Bitdefender didn't like that and caused the entire computer to sort of lock up. Everything still ran but I couldn't open any new applications or close any currently open applications. Even ctrl alt delte didn't respond but I could still talk in a chat application. Because of this I've decided to leave bitdefender for now. At least the free version.
